I like the concept of this, so I gave it a go.

I think I may have gotten a little bit too creative halfway through though.


Also, I think you should update the "vrc7.ftm" so that it sets the volume of each piano channel to B at the start. That way when I play back on a frame it doesn't blast the pianos in my ear.

This is not even jazz.
You all forgot about one important thing... Swing.

I really wanted to do this, but yeah, it would sound much nicer with the swing...so I fixed it.
vrc7_base_jaxedit contains the original base on track 1 and my edited base on track 2. Edited base has each beat split up into 6, so in addition to swung eighth notes and triplets there's space for more complex rhythms as well.
vrc7_jaxmelody is my melody added to the edited base. It's pretty short, just one time through, but only because I wanted to get this out fast so more people could use it. I might do a longer one later.

Well I just did something

The key D# and the tempo increases midway through and gets gets slower at the end of the song.

I feel like adding 2 more frames at the beginning as an intro would work better, since we're going for swing, and typically solos don't start at tge very beginning of the piece.

Plus I thnk this song is just better with one.


How about no one make anything for the first to frames, and solo starts at 02?

Also is it alright if we can change the patches? I don't like being restrained to a preset for a lead

I like echo and 2 channels dedicated to bass is wasteful

Well I remember saying something like it in the first edit. And well, because your right, the solo doesn't start right away, Is ok to add the two first "clean" frames. Those don't repeat the second time.

Yeah, Im sorry if I didn't make myself clear enough. The Trumpet was just a concept for the "just one melody line". So yes you can change your instrument to the one you like. I don't know how to feel about being able to change it once the song already started. I guess is ok. I would fall in to the "Its another player playing another instrument" context.

Well the idea behind was the Double-Octave Bass pianist do. But then again, Echo is permited.

Oh god that post is broken please fix it.

Also sorry about the octave bass but honestly in this case I don't think it did much of anything.

Welp, here's my shot.
It's pretty simple, really. But it's something.
