THE BEATLES - various MIDI files.
ALL IN GENERAL MIDI FORMAT (Drums Channel 10 etc.)
This is an edited collection of the various Beatles files knocking
around the Internet - I've tweaked a few notes, changed a few program
sounds (or 'patches' as I believe you GUS guys like to call them),
converted from various formats and saved them all in MIDI format 1 -
i.e. multiple tracks with each track named by the part on it. All
these files are of course (c) Michael Jackson or whoever else owns the
copyright, and so are not allowed to be lent, sold etc. for commercial
gain.
Many many thanks to all the people who sequenced these originally -
some of the text files have been separated from these sequences
somewhere along the line and I apologise profusely to their original
transcribers for not crediting them.
The files -
BECAUSE.MID - Because (!??)
CANTBUYM.MID - Can't buy me love - translated from the brash synthy version on
the archive
FOOLHILL.MID - Fool on the Hill - Quiet acoustic version - apologies for the
voicings if they're wrong - my Beatles compilation tape was
eaten by the dog.
GUITRWEP.MID - While my Guitar Gently Weeps - converted from MT-32
IMWALRUS - I am the Walrus
YESTERDY.MID - Yesterday - nice quiet acoustic version, as it should be.
All these were downloaded at some point over the last six months and
converted via a 2.5Mb Atari STFM running a (legitimate) version of
Cubase v.2. All voicings, pannings, reverb levels, chorus levels etc.
are embedded in each track so those of you with exotic sound cards or
synth modules that don't like them will have to dig 'em out and sort
'em out. Sorry. Tested on Roland Sound Canvas SC-55 (mark 1 I think
-anyway, the first one that came out) for GM compatability - and they
all work.
PLEASE E-MAIL ANYTHING - comment, criticisms, 'you didn't credit me
with that sequence and I'm going to sue' etc. to :
zchag05@ucl.ac.uk (valid until July 95)
Who knows, if enough people send me message, I may well upload some
more stuff (original compositions etc. - YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED)
Have a Fab-Four-Tastic time listening to these.
Enjoy !!
