I sort of found an old track of indeterminate age, and thought I'd like to try
a remix, so looked for the project folder. It wasn't there! That was a bit of a
shock, as I never delete these, so how it came to be missing is a mystery.
It would have been possible to keep listening to the original audio to (slowly)
piece it together, but that was more tedious than I fancied. At this point I
didn't know just how old it was - the audio had a file date in 2010, but I
suspected it was older. Eventually I remembered I had a compressed archive of
my very early pre-linux work, and there it was!
Well, it is a not quite kosher MIDI file. This has the last modified date in
1994, so indeed older than I though. Importing it into Rosegarden produced a
lot of strange bits of tracks separated from the actual notes, and no sign of
track names, but it was enough to get started. That was about a month ago. I
now have the entire recording, expanded and reproduced with Yoshimi (the
original would have been a mix of Sound Canvas and SY22).
So here it is. Personally I find it quite difficult to keep still while it's
playing
