Dear Sherri - please don't change the instrumentation on a public file! MIDI
audio output isn't standardized, so what sounds bad on your synth might be
great on someone elses. I've spent hours re-orchestrating perfectly good
MIDI files because someone customized them for their board - the
instrumentation was totally messed up. (I dinstinctly remember one where
accordion replaced oboe/english horn - and it sounded just a little
strange - but not too bad :)

You might want to provide 2 files - the standard orchestration, and one with
a note saying it sounds better than the standard one on an _XYZ_ card.

Now - does anyone have any good clarinet samples for an AWE64 or TB Malibu?
Clarinets on cheap synths tend to be _horrible_ - and have deep vibratos.
Cheers,
