A bit more pace and a little more emphasis on the beat IMHO :)

You found a way to connect to a midi interface using Haskell?

No - but that *would* be pretty damn awesome if I could do it...

[Well, actually being able to play sound would be more fun. I did try 
using libSDL, but - as with everything on Windoze - I can't get it to 
compile.]

Pretty impressive for a computer though, eh? ;-)

It realy does almost sound like a real string section... the only real 
flaw is the rather flat delivery. The notes are beautiful, but they're 
all *identical*, and it lacks any real emotion.

How did you do it? I must have been asleep or missed the thread.

Native Instruments Komplete IV, and a copy of Steinburg Cubase SX.

Komplete, as the name rather implies, is a discount-priced bundle 
containing almost the entire NI product line. Absynth, FM8, Reaktor, 
Battery, Massive, Kontakt, Akoustik Piano, etc. They're all there.




Anyway, what you're actually hearing is from Kontakt. It's basically a 
vast set of recordings of various instruments. When you press a note, it 
plays back a recording of that note. I never thought I'd hear myself say 
this, but a synthesizer playing a detuned sawtooth wave with some 
filters really doesn't compare to a recording of a real, live violin.

Also fun: You don't just get "violin". You get "sustained violin", 
"sforzando violin", "tremolo violin", "pizzicato violin", and you get 
all of these in stereo, recorded from 4 seperate pairs of microphones so 
you can select close-mic'd or distant. It doesn't just change the 
loudness, you actually get less bow noise from further away...

Now repeat all of the above for viola, cello, flute, piccolo, trumpet, 
clarinet, oboe, harp, celesta, harpsichord, pipe organ...

Do you understand why it comes on 5 DVDs yet?

So do you use a k/b for input?

I did use a MIDI keyboard to enter the notes, yes. I then used Cubase to 
tweak the timing a little, and also to allow me to play several parts at 
once.

[Until I got Kontakt, I didn't realise quite how much the compass of a 
violin, viola and cello overlap. They're actually quite similar in range 
- but very different in tone. In particular, a cello is actually... 
quite... loud.]

A few questions:

1. Does anybody recognise this music?

2. Is it actually Tchaikovsky?

3. What the hell is it called?

4. Is there some way I can purchase the sheet music for it?
