Whoa look! TheWhippinpost gets all Web 2.0 on yo ass!

Embellish sounds - Produce music.

Digital Audio Computer Music-Making and MIDI XG

Now more than 10 years old!

This site was originally for users of the good 'ole General MIDI (GM) and Yamaha's superior XG MIDI standard; specifically, the SYXG-50 and SYXG100 softsynths, now discontinued.

Now it's also for musicians using the computer for making music in the digital audio realm too.

But that's not to say TheWhippinipost is abandoning you GM and XG MIDI users. You can still find the comprehensive MIDI XG guide on how to interpret and use XG's specialised commandset to tap into its hidden power.

Mixing music is another area now covered with lots of articles, interviews and tutorials including the popular 10 essential mixing tips.

There's also an overview (plus many reviews) of popular computer music products, including keyboards and midi and recording equipment.

Oh the list just goes on including the ever-popular online music calculators plus a growing bank of online video tutorials for musicians - just get stuck in and discover, learn, tell your friends and enjoy!

(Noise) Gating is useful for cutting unwanted low-volume noise between the gaps of sounds (amongst other tricks we can cover another day). But gating can also be un-useful  if employed without thought.
