Korg Christmas Song

Post by Reuben »

I was asked to try to find some backing music for a singer at a Christmas event and as usual most of the midi files I turned up were pretty ordinary.
But with a little editing and swapping on GM instruments for Korg factory sounds I remembered why I love my Pa3x so much.
If you are interested here is an mp3 of the midi (O Holy Night) recorded on the 3x:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/sp6lu1c3bo869 ... 9.MP3?dl=0
If you want the midi file it is here:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/ofyfyren74w8r ... 9.MID?dl=0
If you want to use the midi you can easily change the key to suit the singer.
Cheers,
John

Great version of this song. Yours is better than the one I did and from a different midi.
I dropped the middle verse(my vocalist didn't like it) and has different inst.
Well done!!!

Absolutely stunning!

Having just started to get to grips with my newly acquired 3X (thanks to those who helped me along the way to the decision to replace the PA1X) all I can see is a lot of hard work to get anywhere near that standard.

Inspirational and aspirational.

Many thanks,
Chris

:shock: Sheesh! We've not even been close to that yet. About -11 overnight, and -5 daytime. My commiserations to you. :)

Sure glad I live in Louisiana. I did have to wear a light jacket today as the temperature plummeted down to 59 F. :)
Merry Christmas!
