[Jean Pierre]

"winter is coming"

John let it Snow

No,without joking, I had not heard this cover

great! but how did you play this big band?

I answer this question myself after reading your message 1  ... ah yes Kontact

... and so all instruments are made with sounds from the bank of this device? .. and played with a MIDI keyboard? that's it

really very well done

JP I had the basic MIDI file for the melody and I took that and created parts from other parts, I also played my Novation MIDI controller & inserted (by hand or mouse) even more parts to put them in to play certain instruments.

I put the Kontakt Program on the first track of Pro Tools then designate each channel from there. So in the Pro Tools mixer you see output channels Kontakt 51-1, 51-2 and so on...then on the Kontakt instruments you see which MIDI channels are used - Pop Kit A1, Upright Bass A2, Elecrtric A-200 keys A3, Horns A4 - A7.

The horns are sounds and articulations from Vir2 Mojo Horn Section. Then it depends on what MIDI messages are assigned or you can put automation in the Pro Tools channel strip and you can assign several instruments to a Bus channel. There's all kind of possibilities to achieve different sounds. Plus, on the MIDI grid,  there is plenty of room for lots of errors LOL!!

yes, I think too..I am doing High Hopes Gilmour and I have to use a lot of midi instrument (with soundfonts) for the orchestral parts

... it's  a big job and a lot of work, but
