This is stuff that every organist understands.  It's just like we understand
additive synthesis - just bang in those extra lengths of pipes and off we
go... 


Best wishes.

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.
            -Andy

                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.)

Clarification

                                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!
