Question: Singing with the Music 5000
I sing with a group of friends, two of whom play the piano
accompaniments, but I have performed a John Dowland song with 'lute'
accompaniment, using the following instrument:
2 CHANS
1 CHAN
Bright Flat Long
2 CHAN
Reedy Flat Percuss
128 AMP
EVERY CHAN
ON PHSET
1 CHAN
Bright Flat Long
2 CHAN
Reedy Flat Percuss
128 AMP
EVERY CHAN
ON PHSET
It works quite well if the volume is not too high. I start
with an arpeggio in the correct key followed by ON PAUSE until a function key,
defined with OSCLI to give OFF PAUSE, is pressed to start the song.
The problem with a performance version is that you have to
write in the Tempo and Loudness variations, and the performance becomes a bit
rigid. Has anyone any ideas to enable the singer to adjust these during the performance?
