Les Paul Birthday Google thing

[doomgirl]

this was the best Google Doodle EVER! I lost so much productivity to it! But now I really want an electric one.

Hmmm... not sure how well it will work though (the MUS2MIDI converted tune's quantization is pretty bad).

Heh, OK, I gave it a shot. Unfortunately there are too many sharps and flats contained in the original D1M1... no amount of transposing or editing would help either, to allow the Google Doodle to play most of the notes (with it's ten note contraints).

Now, that being said, the MIDI file _could_ be played back using the SoundFont that I created (mentioned previously in this thread)... but then it sort of loses the "magic" of the Google Doodle <grin>.

Hehe, the first part of "Dueling Banjos", played in the Google Doodle Les Paul Guitar :) Note that the Google Doodle doesn't include one of the notes (F), so's one of the notes sounds out of place <grin>.
