Seems to be some interesting in playing notes in sequence
So, here's another example. This time we use the ARPEGGIO track which is
very versatile. To start off, here is the top part of the MMA accompaniment file for "House of the Rising Sun". One way to handle this is to write out all the notes by hand in SOLO tracks; or just play them on a midi keyboard and import that into MMA. But, I'm lazy so I just used an ARPEGGIO track. Here is the top part of the file, before we go into the melody:

Swell mp mf 4
// Good example here. Not quite the same as the Animals intro but
// for computer generated it's not bad. Esp. since we're using a
// stock MMA library. We turn off the chords and reduce the walk
// volume, fiddle a bit with the Arpeggio settings ... and we're done
Chord Volume Off
Walk Volume 40%
Begin Arpeggio
Articulate 50
Harmony 2Below
HarmonyVolume 80
// This sequence is the same as the sheet music:
// triplet {8 rest, 16, 16, 8 } ... repeat
// set up here in 4 lines so you can see the triplets
Sequence {1.33 8 100; 1.45 8 80; 1.66 8 70;
2 8 100; 2.33 8 80; 2.66 8 60;
3.33 8 100; 3.45 8 80; 3.66 8 70;
4 8 100; 4.33 8 80; 4.66 8 60; }
End

The entire song is in our "really big" file of mma songs at

Please enjoy, steal the bits that work for you, and don't forget to share!
