Hey guys,

I picked up a Yamaha WX5E midi wind controller about a month ago and decided to compose a tune using it.
It's sort of a smooth jazz tune.
I recorded both melodyA and melodyB into BIAb using the WX5E.
Tried recording the solos as well, but not good enough on the instrument yet so generated RT solos instead.
The tune is called Clouds In My Coffee.
It's in the key of E Minor.
The form is.
Intro, AABA, Solos, B, then B transposed up a half step then an 8 bar ending.
I hope you like it.

Thanks for that one! You had me sitting on the beach at Laguna, sipping a cold martini and watching the waves roll in. Cool jazz.

I sit and program all day long…( the Paying Job..lol) and while I do that I listen to this type of music on smoothjazz.com Very, Very Nice. You need to submit some of your work (this one ).. to smoothjazz.com and get streaming air play. It’s just a matter of submitting a marketing kit…

http://smoothjazz.com/marketing/

So when is the CD Version coming out that I can buy….with your greatest hits?

Nice Song...

Paul,

Thank you much for your comments. I'm a computer programmer myself. I'm pretty much retired, but still do part time programming for the company my wife works for.

Thanks, I'll check out SmoothJazz.com.

Band-in-a-Box 2026 Video: AI Stems & Notes - split polyphonic audio into instruments and transcribe

This video demonstrates how to use the new AI-Notes feature together with the AI-Stems splitter, allowing you to select an audio file and have it separated into individual stems while transcribing each one to its own MIDI track. AI-Notes converts polyphonic audio—either full mixes or individual instruments—into MIDI that you can view in notation or play back instantly.
