              Four instances of the Angelina synthesizer, a Windows VST
              plugin. I use it Bitwig via the Airwave utility. Two
              instances use the same preset, the other two run two other
              presets.

            
            For once I'm going to be the Debbie Downer. I liked the
              composition but really didn't like the "voicing". I found
              it to be "trying hard to be vocal, but missing by a
              country mile without any apparent awareness that it was
              doing so, and thus not playing to the strengths of the
              synth".

              
            Usually love your stuff though Dave, and the
              composition remains strong.

            
    That's the second time today that I've encountered the qualifier
    "Debbie Downer", once in realtime conversation and now here, though
    in different contexts. How bizarre.

    
    I always appreciate the honest appraisal. However, in my admittedly
    weak - pitifullly weak - defense, the SC page includes the
    disclaimer :

    
        "Fake choral music."

    
    Well, okay, it's no defense at all. I admit I liked the sounds, just
    please don't cancel my subscription to Ardour, okay ?

    
    I've placed the MIDI file online here :

    
        http://linux-sound.org/midfiles/Coral.mid 

    
    Let the revoicing begin.

    
    Btw, the original tempo is 48 bpm, slowing to 35 bpm during the last
    three chords.The file was exported from Bitwig, so I loaded it back
    into the program to see how well it would import its own exported
    file. It got the tracks right but didn't import the tempo
    information. I loaded the MIDI file into my antique DOS sequencer,
    it got the tracks and tempo but not the ritardando. Today's build of
    A4 got the tracks, not the tempo. So whatever sequencer you're
    using, good luck with all that.

    
    Best,
