Windcoaliz
Composed and arranged for Music-X by Geir W. Kristoffersen
Stored on this disk as Music-X Performance file.

The  original  idea  behind  this  sequence is quite simple.  I had this small
jingle running in circles inside my head, and I could not get rid of it.  So I
decided  to  try to make a song out of it.  The jingle was very short and made
up  of  only  4  notes,  so I was a bit restricted in what chords I could use.
After  fiddling  about for a while I came up with this result.  It is not much
of  a  hit- song, but it is a bit special.  During the work I got this feeling
that  it  would  be nice to try to describe "wind at work", that is the reason
for  the  rather  odd  title.   On this piece I like to use a lot of reverb to
enhance  the  feeling  of  wind,  but  don't  overdo  it.  I have used 12 midi
channels  plus three samples from the Amiga.  The samples add some atmosphere,
but  they  are  not  important.   My samples are quite big, so I don't know if
there  is  room for the on the AM/FM disk.  If these three samples are missing
you  can  try  to  use one thunder- sound, an orchestral hit and one windchime
sample.  I found the originals on a Technics KN 800.

Try this set-up:
channel 1:  not used
channel 2:  Slap-bass
channel 3:  Chords, try a sound with some white noise on it
channel 4:  Bellpad, makes the tingitanga-thingy (main jingle)
channel 5:  Flute, I have used the Shakuhacki from the Roland U-110
channel 6:  not used
channel 7:  not used
channel 8:  Sinuswave lead synth
channel 9:  Strings
channel 10: Roland drum setup
channel 11: Choir
channel 12: Synthbrass or trumpet
channel 13: Overdrive guitar
channel 14: bongodrums and cowbell
channel 15: not used
channel 16: bassguitar, one octave lower than the slapbass
INTERNAL SOUNDS:
channel 2	Orchestra blast
channel 3	Windchime
channel 4	Thunder&lightning

That's  it,  if your setup is smaller than mine you can drop channels 9 or 11,
and  channel  14  and 16.  You won't lose much of the song.  Perhaps you would
like  to  adjust the level on channels 9,11,12,14 and 16, as these occupy only
two tracks on my mixer.

Note  from Ed:  Because your original Music-X file was 156 kb, and that's much
more  than  I  feel  we can spend on a single MIDI song, I took the liberty of
halving  the  sample rate on two of your internal samples (rather than leaving
the  song out entirely).  The performance file was still 77 kb after this, but
since  you've  sent  me  the  song  twice,  it  must be important to you, so I
included  it.   Hope  you  don't  mind the somewhat reduced quality on the two
mentioned samples.  Thanks for the song, Geir.
