That's cool, you obviously know your s**t...
It's all about combinations which, like you've identified, make certain
instruments actually sound more like themselves, if you know wot I'm trying to
say...
I think its because composers have used this quote poly quote trip for
centuries, and Joe Bloggs doesn't realise that what they're hearing ain't
exactly wotz appnin!

Mike,
That's right. The Clarinet has a nice attack and mellow sustain tone. I
like using the oboe with the pipe organ. Adds a nice bite to the organ's tone,
just like adding the reed stop on a real organ. Also, with the organ, change
the octave of parts of the voice to simulate 4-foot or 16-foot (or
shorter/longer) stops.
If anyone knows how to manipulate the RSC/RSD MIDI files produced by the
Roland MT-200 sound module, I can post some music files I've produced. They're
at least 10 years old. I haven't done a lot of sequencing lately.

You should try a clarinet in there too...

Sharon,
Yes, that's polyvoicing. Using two very similar voices together to
produce a single voice (still on two tracks) that sounds better. Still sounds
like just a string section, but you're combining the attack and decay
attributes. (For strings, I like to add a soft flute sound, just to get a nice
attack.)

One of you mentioned the idea of poly voicing. Is that where you do
what I mentioned earlier, using a different staccato strings for quick action
along with the slower strings? I'm actually using "string section," not "slow
strings." I think I'll go to work on correcting the time offset.
thanks all!
Sharon
