Alec, I just want to add my congratulations to those already expressed. I played your KN7000 demo several times over the weekend and got more out of it each time I listened to it.

Two questions: (1) are all the voices native KN7000 or did you select any from an EW01, etc card? (2) approx how how long does it take you to put together a piece like this, creating the composers, extracting bits out of midi files, etc?

Mike

Thanks Mike,
they are all 7k voices bar one backing voice from EW01, but looking through the menus the 7k has a very similar voice available, so the same could be achieved from 7k alone in this instance.

As for time, getting 2 measures of one track from a midi file into a composer track took about 30 seconds

It probably took about 2 working days, since I had no score and had to listen to the original songs a few times to play suitable backings into the composer. In fact I made several mistakes by putting some transitional measures at the end of composers instead of in fills, which would have been easier to play in, but by the time I had got the feel right it would have been more work to go back and change it.

I work two steps forward, one step back - making a very full version, then coming back a day later with a fresh perspective and thinning everything out to get just the basics which make the impact. Just because you have 8+2 backing tracks does not necessarily mean you need them all at once

I then sent it to a very good musician friend who listened and suggested a superior chord change, which worked better, so I just easy recorded again with the new chord progression.

Alec, Just tried your 'Lord of the Dance' on KN7000..... It sounded great! Certainly disturbed a bit of dust and a few cobwebs in my music room
