Metronomes are dull, and you cannot change a CD's pitch and tempo. The first thing we want to do is to play our own phrase as we like. To meet such needs, we produced Cyber Session #1 which is a collection of backing songs for ad-libing. We are now offering them as shareware but you can expect future development as a cybersession series. In this software, the following 5 songs are recorded as a set. ZEPBLUE.MID FIRESTAR.MID BLACKMON.MID BLDTRUES.MID COOLBLUE.MID If you have a personal computer and GM/GS sound module(or MIDI musical instruments), you can enjoy a session anytime you like. Since we are offering in all SMF file formats 1, you are free to choose them at your convenience. SMF stands for Standard MIDI File, a format usable by anyone. Format 0 is a file which has been saved in a single track form, for ease of play. Format 1 is a file which has been saved in a multi-track form. As this has been saved separately by track, if you have proffesional sequence software(i.e. with multi-track sequencer capability), it is possible to edit them freely by checking the track names and muting them by track. We used a Roland Sound Canvas SC-88 for production and as a basic playback sound module. These 5 songs are capable of being played on GM format except one part*. If you don't have a GM/GS sound module, you are able to play them by adjusting the designated tone in the MIDI sound module, because all songs are composed with orthodox tones such as piano, organ, strings, distortion guitar etc. Since these 5 songs are composed with blues progress and simple chord progress, frequently used in Rock'n Roll or jazz sessions, you can understand in no time and take part in them after listening to them once. Some songs have sample ad-lib solo's or backing. It is possible for you to perform a solo with muting the sample solos or even to perform as backing for one of the solos. *Refer BLACK MOON This software, standard MIDI file in DOS form, has been compressed in ZIP or LHA formats(extension is .lzh), and can be downloaded. After you download the file, decompress it before use. If you are a Macintosh user, after you decompress the file with MacLHA or MacGzip, convert it with either Apple File Exchange or PC Exchange (either of which should be attached to your system), and change the file type to "Midi". Since the file type which has been converted with Apple File Exchange or PC Exchange is "TEXT" or "BINA", it may be not readable with Macintosh sequencer software. The file type for SMF data should be "Midi", so change the file type as follows: (1) Open the "Get File Info" of ResEdit and change the type to "Midi". (2) Change the file type to "Midi" with general type changing utility such as File Typery, File Buddy, or exclusive type changing utility such as MIDI File Converter or Midi It!. In case of (2), we especially recommend Midi It! as the easiest for converted files into the "Midi" format. After you make sure that a file is SMF, you can easily change the file type with Midi It!. When you load SMF data, refer to your hardware sequencer or sequencer software manual you have.
