Description:
"King of the Pipers" is a traditional Scottish [I think!] jig.

All made from a single midi track which I've chopped up. The whisltle and flute tracks are Apple instruments and the dulcimer sounding track was made with the Albino 3 soft synth. There are two "drone" tracks which are my own, again made with the Albino. I've also added a bass track.

So, although I've not played the melodies, [I wish I could!] it is my own arrangement, so to speak. A LOT of pencilling was done to this. It's taken me ages.

I can't credit the composer, because I don't know who it is. Nor can I credit the person who sequenced the original midi file, again, I can't find who did it. You can find the same file on many sites. But I can use it, as long as I don't make any money. Ha!

Anyway - it's a lovely tune, so why not have a listen?

Hardware:
G5 iMac, Edirol keyboard

Software:
Albino 3 soft synth

Flingy Dave, Reminded me of Maypole dancing, or dancing over crossed swords (Never done that though). I had to listen a bit at a time because of the buffering probs I told you about, but enjoyed it just the same, cheers M

The only version I have myself of this old tune is by Altan. A fine band.

I spent a long time on trying to get the mix right - but it's all trial and error for me really!

The Albino 3 soft synth is a fantastic bit of kit, well worth having a look at. A link here should you be interested.

Cheers!
