I think it's about time I posted this, as it's been sitting around here for some time, and sees quite a bit of use.

A year or so back, I was getting all frustrated because I couldn't find anything that I could play from keyboard that really sounded like the Hammond organs I was hearing on record. The one on my new digital piano was particularly awful. Then I came across Hans Mikelson's "Rotor Organ" here, and a lot of my frustration disappeared.

Hi -- I'm new here, but I hope this might be of interest to some people. One thing I've never been particularly good at is creating interesting Score files to test Orchestras with, and it struck me that existing standard midifiles might be a good starting point.

I figured something for this ought to exist already, and searching the web turned up a link or two, but they all arrived at dead ends, so I wrote my own. The Ruby language seemed to be a natural medium for this (especially as I'd already written a midifile handling module).
