- This version is from Jean-Michel Jarre's "Images-CD". Originally Arranged
- for OctaMED Professional by Pasi Kovanen. This version has been converted
- and arranged using Music-X by Kevan R.Craft, where the drums were edited
- and velocity scaled taking the reference points from the Korg i3 Pop Rock
- Variation 1 drum MIDI data and emulated. The Hi hat pattern from the i3 is
- used together with the addition of percussion on MIDI Channel 11/ The
- Timbal break in the middle of this track has also been modified to
- include shaker and cowbell. Moreover, the Volume fade at the end of
- Orient Express left a lot to be desired so this aspect has been cleaned-up
- by employing Music-X's new edit facility via AREXX which enables
- accurately scaled CTL #7 data to be produced using the "Interpolate slope"
- feature - the ending sounds pretty reasonable now..
-
- The remainder of MIDI channels note data has been velocity scaled from 127
- -128 to an average mean which makes for better transmitted notes.. Some
- instruments have been doubled-up such as adding a Fretless bass under the
- Synth Bass1 but lower in the background to provide a deeper overall sound.
- Likewise, Strings, Goblin and instruments have also been doubled-up but
- lowered by an octave, this simply fattens the overall sound and produces an
- improved MIDI arrangement. The overall arrangement uses General MIDI (GM)
- instrument voices except the Percussion on MIDI Channel 11 which employs
- the Korg i2/i3 AMERICA "Perc KIT" PGM #65, which can be found on the
- official Korg i2/i3 Bootup-disk...
