We'll put up some of the best and most unusual on this page. Both of this week's picks are one-take, live performances made with some of the JAM files which ship with Dr. Jam. Remember, these are live jams, mistakes and all. This MIDI file is an improvisation on the chord structure used in Pachelbel's long-lived Canon In D . Only two of Dr. Jam's four performers, picker and strummer are used.
First picker plays the chord progression twice through, using a different pattern each time.
Then strummer joins in, and the performance continues until our maestro gets tired. The other hand moves the mouse in circles, figure eights, or just back and forth to control which notes strummer plays. It starts with two measures of drummer playing the percussion pattern which will continue throughout. Then picker comes in with a bass riff which it will play throughout. Although the pattern stays the same in this example, it automatically follows whatever chord changes we make.
