NOTE ON PLAYING MIDI FILES: All my MIDI works are meant to be played using the standard Microsoft GS Wavetable. Usage of any other wavetable will give unintended results. By all means experiment if you have the capability, but please be aware that what you end up with will not be what I intended!
Also, some MIDI files played on Winamp before version 5.3 (and it appears, after 5.541) will not play correctly. If you use Winamp, please up/downgrade to a version between 5.3 and 5.541 (incl), or alternatively, download this version or go here where you can download ANY version of Winamp.
| D/L | Mins | Concerto for Synthesiser Opus: 44 Length: 14:10 Instruments: Waldorf Micro Q synthesiser played by computer MIDI instructions in real time Composed: March 2004 (unfinished) |
|
| 1st movement | 09:25 | Originally written as a piano piece (see below) I then converted it into a piece for the Waldorf synthesiser controlled by 16 track MIDI input from the computer in real time. This worked well enough for me to record the output (this icon) and devise a second movement before the Waldorf crashed its gears and decided to wipe all my sound settings. I was so annoyed I haven't used it in the same fashion since. Free download: this piece is included in the zip file on this page. | |
| 2nd movement | 04:40 | This second movement is the recording of the first draft of the MIDI file - it was after I modified the file and tried to re-record it that the Waldorf stuck its two fingers up at me, so this movement is not the finished version. One day I might go back and try again, but right now I can't be bothered to spend hours programming the damn thing again, so this is currently the last word on this piece. | |
| 1st movement Piano version |
 |
09:25 | Here is the original piano version of the first movement. Not a bad little piece in its own right, I reckon. The ending is deliberately left open as I didn't consider it to be the end of the whole piece even then. I like to have things I can come back to now and then, and this is one I will complete some day when I'm in the mood for it. |
