GM Sequencing by Warren Rice, Seattle, WA.


	I've provided both .MID and .WRK versions of this sequence.  The .WRK 
is a Cakewalk Professional 2.01 file and contains markers to help you follow 
along.
	As percussion is a focal point for Trent's work, a CONSIDERABLE amount 
of time was devoted to accuracy in the drum parts - on an Alesis SR-16 they 
sounded nearly indistinguishable from the original.  I then translated them 
to General Midi for distribution, but the limited drum selection in the 
General MIDI standard has forced me trade a bit of accuracy for maximum 
compatibility.  In spite of this minor drawback, the drums hold their own 
quite nicely.  Carefully varying the velocity on the individual drum parts 
has helped the percussion maintain a "human" feel.  One last note:  the drum
intro sounds PUTRID on an Soundblaster if you only have FM synthesis, but 
blends in alright once the music starts.  I speculate that their new 
wavetable synthesis card should take care of this problem.
	The synth parts, while not exact, are pretty close.  Since this is 
voiced for the SCC1, you may need to play with the voicings if you're 
listening on another card.
	As for the guitar parts, when they invent a decent guitar sound on a 
keyboard, I'll be first at the store with cash in hand.  In short, I put the 
guitar part in for your pleasure.  General MIDI does not lend itself well to 
rock guitar.  When I'm listening to the sequence, I play the guitar part live.
	Vocals are your responsibility.  If you want to add them, add them.  I didn't
want to turn a good song into Muzak by adding a synthesized vocal.
	Well, I hope this is as enjoyable for you to hear as it was for me to 
create.  This is my first "complete" sequence I've created in General MIDI, 
and I assume after a short break I'll create others.  If you have any 
questions, comments or suggestions, drop me an Email on AOL.
