• Entre le boeuf et l'ane gris: MidNote at its best! Entering this French Christmas carol into MidNote was done in half an hour. Then a simple base line was added and the complete piece was exported into MIDI format. If you want, you can also download the MidNote file and play with it yourself!
• Creeping Fear: Another MidNote example, but this one is an original. Would fit well as the background music of some eerie computer game. Again, you can also download the MidNote file and play with it yourself!
• Filthy Package: A MIDI track that really shows off the capabilities of PocketSynth Pro and PocketDrums - composed by Dr. Saveedas. The single synth, base, and drum tracks were first exported to MIDI format and then mixed together using the "Mix MIDI" function of PocketSynth Pro.
• O Come All Ye...: Best played at Christmas time of course - the church organ sound fits the arrangement perfectly. This also got converted to MIDI format - resulting in a very small file size. Courtesy of PocketSynth Pro user Edward Hewlett!
• Combats: Here is an example for MidNote's MIDI import/export capabilities. The piece is a MIDI file downloaded from the internet and exported into MidNote, then re-exported into MIDI. As you can hear, MidNote has no problem handling different instrument sounds as well as the drum track. You can download the imported MidNote file to modify it to your liking.
• The Wild Horseman: One more example for MIDI import/export with MidNote, a little classical piece by R. Schumann, with lots of chords. You can download the imported MidNote file to see how MidNote recognized and handled the chords.
• Honky Tonk: a little more modern, but just as well known. The rhythm guitar was done with Strummer (standard sound set), the drums were supplied by DrummerBoy (the predecessor of PocketDrums), and then the two tracks were mixed together with FourTrack.
• Greensleeves: Another classic. To make it sound more authentic, I created the flute (or organ?) sound with SoundCreator and then used it in Strummer. First I entered the melody line. Second came the arpeggios. Strummer's arpeggio feature makes it easy and fast to come up with a part that fits well. Finally I added a simple base line (again using the sound files created with SoundCreator) to give the piece more volume. This piece took FourTrack to its limits since it contains three tracks (you could add some gentle drums if you like, but I preferred to keep it in the medieval fashion :-)
  
  The last example has all the source files - the settings for SoundCreator, for all three Strummer tracks, and for the FourTrack setup. This makes it a good example to learn from, you can use it as a basis for your own experiments.
