At George Bogatko's request, I have placed a .ZIP file in the FTP
archive which contains his wonderful arrangement of Frosty the Snowman,
arranged for an O-Roll machine.  The arrangement was tested using a
SoundBlaster AWE-32 PC Sound Board, using downloaded "Sound Fonts".
The "Sound Fonts" allow the AWE-32 synthesizer board to play back the
actual recorded sounds George made from Craig Brougher's O-Roll
orchestrion, in response to the MIDI input from the file.

Here's the good news:  George has decided to share the MIDI performance
_AND_ the SoundFonts with us.  He's put them together in one package.

There is a prerequisite:  You must have a SoundBlaster AWE-32 PC Sound
Card __AND__ 8 meg of on-the-soundboard RAM.  If you have this, you'll
discover its possible to hear the tune with surpising realism.

It also introduces you to the concept of "sampled sound synthesis" (my
term) and the procedure for editing sampled sounds.  The SB AWE-32
board comes with SoundFont (TM Emu Systems) editing software.  Beware
-- the so-called "value edition" of the AWE-32 board does not have the
required memory sockets.  Expect to pay between $210 and $250 for an
AWE-32 sound board, and between $60 and $80 for the required memory
chips.

You may download the readme:

or the entire file (about 3 meg) if you have a SB AWE-32:

Enjoy.  Please let us know how you like it if you try this out.
