I like it like it is too !

IMO it sounds more eastern than Italian (?), but you must know that better than I. <grin-grin>

Ciau,

Marcolino... .. .

Very nice melodies and good beat. It sounds fine: it's really breathing.
Well done

Cheers

Laguna is right: it's airy and makes instantly happy.
Great relaxer!....underwear type: shiny flowers.

btw, is this the prototype for the dub-project?

Cheers..ah cheese!

Thank You James, yes I was about to send you the MIDI file, ok?

Not bad for a WIP track,but this one makes a great 'base template' for a future remix.The most important parts are yet to be added - some strings,pads and the 'almost mandatory' brassy synth

And Max is right - the 'Oriental flavor' is prominent.
The 'eastern parts' sound somewhat like a remixed,slow version of a part of E. Honda's ending from Street Fighter II.

This could be turned into a great,kicking Italo Disco track,or a nice Japanese Anime-style opening theme (complete with female Japanese vocals).

Nice to have yet another MIDI remix contest

I'll see if I can turn this MIDI file into something more interesting

(W.I.P. = work in progress,a track/project that's not yet finished/far from complete)

The only thing I didn't like about this song was the chromatic stepdown bits - otherwise I enjoyed it quite a bit.

This is rather interesting. I'd like to have a bit of a play with it myself. Where did you get the drumkit from? It doesn't match GM.

thanks for the comment, this is acually interesting as those chromatic stepdown bits
is what made me feel the melody more groovy
in the first place, matter of listening history I guess

it's a custom map on DK+, but it's quite simple: from c#1 to f#1 are the various snares, g1 is the hi-hat , c1 bassdrum
