[rodgersorgan] Re: PR300 and Change Ringing


Noel,
Don't make fun of the barking dogs... I have gotten great laughs out of my 
"Barking Dog Jingle Bells."  Kind of tough to do though, because those dogs 
don't sing in tune... I had to really disconnect my right hand solo from the 
brain.
The reason these things are included is that they are defined in the MIDI 
standard, to which the Roland Sound card conforms.
Last December the Pacific University Chorale, the Washington Co. (OR) Chorale, 
and the "Ring of Fire" handbell chorus, and the brilliant Dan Miller performed 
a concert at Century HS in Beaverton, OR.  All were fantastic, but the handbell 
chorus, comprised of kids about 10 years old through teens, was a real treat.  
I have never heard handbells put through such voicing variations, chorusing and 
tonal shades.  These kids were incredible (they travel extensively around the 
country).  I'd like to see someone get the sounds they did out of a sound 
module!
Best regards,
Ed

Re handbell sounds from a PR300/300S...dumbfounded that Rodgers/Roland
included dogs, telephones, and helicopters, also included a couple of dozen
different bell sounds, but no handbells...well, we shall have to make our
own...go through the bell sounds listed in your 300/300S manual, including
crystal, glasses, etc...put one on MIDI A, another on MIDI B, combine them,
audit results...trial and error...I like Tinkle Bell PC 113 Var 0 combined
with Warm Bell PC 39 Var 127.

Re change ringing, make your own...select one or more bell/chime/carillon
sounds, improvise a Westminster/Whittington/St. Michael's series, virtually
random notes in a C major scale, record same on the PR300/300S, use the
repeat function, voila`.
