hmm...  There is a highlighted link. "just click and go", that leads you to open it up in iTunes.  Really well worth it if you can get it to work.  I've never had a problem.  Even at the incredibly slow tempo, it reveals LVB's sheer genius.

Thanks Fritz, I can't get the link to work either, I would have been interested to hear the sound without artefacts. I have only very simple software which produces a lot of artefact but heavily reverbed produces quite a pleasing shimmering effect.

It is a wonderful piece!  Well done!  It reminds me of this:

http://www.park.nl/park_cms/public/index.php?thisarticle=118

9 Beet Stretch:  Beethoven's 9th stretched to 24 hours in length with no artifacts from the time stretching process.  Check it out out.  You're in good company.

best,

fritz

Mark it’s brilliant!
I’ll gladly pay handsomely for this piece on a CD.
Or if you have another suggestion for getting it into my Korg (not yet delivered), I’m listening (no pun intended).
There is so much potential for my space music, it’s a “must have”!
Been quite awhile since a piece has moved me so much.
Thanks to you and Robert for creating it, and getting back to me!
 
Best,
Tony

Thanks Tony and Robert, the microsampler comes with 35 samples in ROM and there are a couple of free packs that can be downloaded from Korg but they don't include the M300 violins which I sampled myself from #1565. There is only enough memory for 8khz samples but add a ton of reverb and they don't sound too bad. Also the original piece only lasted a couple of minutes and it was stretched, layered, filtered, multitracked and I think reversed at some point!

Yes Robert that’s it!
Thank you kindly, I just got in and you made my day!  \"Smile\"

Hey fellow members,
 
There was a recent post with the Korg Micro Sampler w/M300 strings, who posted it?
Anyone still have it by chance or luck?
I ordered one and it was during my bout with the flu, so I “presumed” the sounds were preloaded, and now recovered I realize that that was very unlikely.
 
 
Thanks in advance,
 
Tony  #510

I liked it, but then again I am a fan of the Lips.  My only problem with them , in general, is their tendency to have the work be mercilessly mastered way too loud, at least the last 3 albums.  I can't listen to more than 10 minutes at a time in an uncompressed format and mp3s are nearly unlistenable (word?)

Thanks for posting John, it is different but can't say I liked it. I did a version of the whole album with ukulele which at least has the merit of being mercifully brief ( 7 mins ). There's just too much of this and it's too slow! Life's too short.
