For Ozan, on midi orchestration

Hi Ozan,

Hmmm, this one wasn't easy, but I found it:

Keyboard magazine no longer has their archives online, so thank
goodness for the Wayback Machine. The above link is an article from
Dec 2000 profiling composer James Newton Howard, and I believe it
gives a lot of insight into how one needs to shape electronic tools to
reflect humanistic playing styles. I'm not saying his way is the only
way, but it certainly is an illustrative look at someone who brings
this off quite well.

Since you asked about equipment, note his list at the end of the
article. To see just how egregious this can get, note the number in
parenthesis after his mention of the Roland S-760 Sampler - (28). Yes,
indeed, at this time he had 28 of those suckers in his rack!

Unfortunately, the two example files aren't online, but I may have
them on one of my older machines archived. If you are interested, I'll
look for them...

Cheers,
Jon
