Mighty Rings Vol. 01
Eleven cues.
Numbered 01 to 12.
Every sketch is one MIDI file with its parts on separate tracks inside it, and every sketch carries its own tempo. The box holds eleven sketches numbered 01 to 12: there is no sketch 07, and the numbering was left as the author wrote it rather than renumbered to close the gap.
The palette is wide for eight bars. Sustained strings, choir and low brass carry the weight; flutes, oboes, clarinets and horns carry the line; harp, celeste, vibraphone, glockenspiel and chimes carry the light. Percussion is timpani, gongs and cymbal swells rather than a kit.
Tempos run from 70 to 160 BPM, so the box covers a slow processional and a chase without you rewriting either. The table below lists what each sketch runs at.
| Sketch | Tempo | Leading parts | Bars | Parts |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 01 | 120 · 4/4 | Celeste, Harp, Winds sustained | 8 | 13 |

| 10 | 160 · 4/4 | Full brass shorts, Strings short, Sustained strings | 8 | 9 |

Leading parts are the three carrying the most notes in that sketch. Two things to know before you import: every file carries a long stretch of empty bars after the music, so trim the region to the last note, and sketch 08 starts at bar 75 rather than bar 1, so drag it back to where you want it. Each sketch ships an MP3 preview of 17 to 31 seconds; the previews are reference only and are not licensed for release.
Your DAW. Your libraries.
Any DAW
The files are plain type 1 MIDI with every part on its own named track. Drag one onto your timeline in Cubase, Logic, Studio One, Reaper, Ableton or anything else that reads MIDI. There is no installer, no sampler to buy and no licence to activate.
Any library
The parts carry notes and velocities, not keyswitches, so nothing is tied to one developer. Track names say which articulation each line was written for, so you can map them onto whatever orchestra you already own.

Ready for commercial projects.
Use the MIDI in your own personal and commercial music. Reselling or redistributing the MIDI in any form is prohibited. Read the license.
Each sketch carries its own tempo, so your project follows the file. Every file also carries empty bars after the music; trim the region to the last note once it is on your timeline.
