Test #2. Slower comparison to better compare tone and voices. AABB form where I embellished the repeated sections (perhaps more than would be done, but I wanted to create more linear motion in the repeats for a better comparison). The sound files will use different sampled instrument settings for the repeated sections when available to see the variety in the sample set. All files will be played at the same consistent MIDI velocity and volume to better simulate the constant volume of the harpsichord (otherwise MIDI harpsichords will typically change volume to MIDI changes). All .WAV files normalized to -5 dB before final processing to .mp3.
