YOYOYOYO! It's time for a new exquisite corpse, and this time, it's the General Midi Exquisite Corpse! In other words, the restriction will be to that EVERYTHING must be sequenced using midi, and all instruments must come from the General Midi soundset of your synth or computer. This time, it will be started simultaneously on two forums, so there will (hopefully) be a mix of people from here and there doing it. What is this? Well.. I had this idea.. get several music-makers together and make a track. Each will make their part (one to bass, one to melody, and so-on) without listening to the others' part. A BPM and maybe a theme or scale is decided beforehand, and when everyone is finished, it is mixed by one of the participants or preferrably a person that only does mix. The general idea for the tracks is that they're supposed to be as spontaneous as possible, which means it would be preferrable for them to be done within an hour or two (including the process of getting artists), so don't sign up unless you have the time. BPM: 96 Scale: C major (C, D, E, F, G, A, H) Melody: - Comp: - Bass: - Drums: - Sounds: - Mix: - so sign up NOW! |

oh, hang on.. I just got another idea! what if there is no audio file at the end of this, just a midi file? It'll use the midi devices of the person listening, which would make the song slightly different from person to person! in that case, people would have to just sequence it, export the midi and mail it to the mixer, who'd have the job of putting it all together and maybe assign instruments! how does that sound? |

Sounds like something I can't do at work... But a good idea. Shit, I got to get a home connection. I'm losing all the fun... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah, home connections = fun there's music and tons of porn |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Ummm. there is a way to cheat this. Make a soundfont, load it into the general midi bank of your computer... Wait a second. Just read your second post. That sounds like fun. Makes the mixers job that much more difficult tho. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
more difficult? isn't putting midi together quite easy? anyway, you want to do a part? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Hmmm. Maybe the bassline. I am getting an akai s950 this weekend (hopefully) I want to show it off. Could I make a beat or something in that and just say that its made with general midi??? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
you could try, but if the second idea is good, there won't be any audio, just midi files, so you'd have to make the beat and then export it to midi somehow... hahah... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i would really want to help out with mixing it... yeah i know i fucked up the last one but i beg you to give me another chance. i had a hard time with school lately but i finished my semester and i have now a bit of free time... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
haha, you can be in it, but don't you want to do anything besides mix? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
now you know me and midi dont get on. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i'll do the melody |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
hmm.. how about you do some midi artwork? staz: word! Melody: staz Comp: - Bass: - Drums: - Sounds: - Mix: - |

bump |

|
|
I cant spare the time, plus I'm not really down with the general midi business |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i think it's better if anyone has just one task |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i would do it, but i can't do general midi for the moment. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
god damn, it's not going well |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Its easy. Just write something in cubase or flp, and export: midi file. Even if you use the most sophisticated synths, it will still be read by the mixers computer as gm. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
no access to midi at the moment. good luck! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah, mopst computer progsams can export mixddi! you wanntea do it? sorry for spelling, but I got drunks and shit! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
havent you got a drum machine mr-get cracking |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah, but the thing is, the result will be just midi, and no audio... however, I'm not sure if it's such a good idea, seeing as no-one can do it... |
||||||||
|

The way general midi works is most soundcards have a soundfont loaded as default general midi bank. You can make your own soundfont and use whatever sounds you want, say use an 808 kit for the drums and a bunch of 303 samples with varying resonace on the filters for the rest. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
but is it like rom then, instantly accesible ? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
umm |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I'll try and do something. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
awesome! what part you want? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
maybe i could do the mix. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Whichever. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|

||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
you're on! all of you! Melody: staz Comp: giginger Bass: big Drums: - Sounds: - Mix: oyvinto |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
ok how do i get flstudio to play midi? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I have no idea, but is a free music notation software thingie.. you can't export to midi in that program, but I have the full finale 2006, so I could convert the .mus files and send them on to oyvinto. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
cries... i wanted to make the mix... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
haha, drums and sounds are still open... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
