Mandok Selamat Tahun Baru

At A Glance:

"Mandok Selamat Tahun Baru" is a Bataknese Folk Song, sung by children (i mean, Sunday School Students) of HKBP Simare-Mare Jae, Laguboti, Toba-Samosir, North Sumatera every New Year (January 1st).

Warning:

This stems and projects is licensed using GNU-GPL v3, so you MUST credit HKBP Simare-Mare Jae in your final project.

The WAV instrument banks (Ahh, Ohh, OSTR) can only opened on FL Studio (tested by me)

Pre-requisites:

• Musical instinct (watch the reference playlist on http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLIODVbiLLJWlMxnYylVp5PjDnC3BK6wH4, then you can feel free to improve without wrecking the song's essence, such as sampling the original voice and make a beat drop or just retuning so it'll sounds better)
  
• Digital Audio Workstations (this repository contains FL Studio Project files, packed in a ZIP file, however, you can use any DAW which can accepts MIDI file)
  
• MIDI keyboard (since this stem is still far from perfect, you can improve it by re-implementing the reference playlist on https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLIODVbiLLJWlMxnYylVp5PjDnC3BK6wH4, and make sure your MIDI keyboard is connected before you launch any DAW, and don't remove it until the arranging process is finished)
  
• FL Studio version 20.7.2.1863 or later (if you plan to use FL Studio, skip this part if you're using other DAW, such as Cubase, Reaper, Pro Tools, Logic, and such)
  
• Third Party ZIP extractor (for Windows, since Windows' own ZIP extractor may not work on highly compressed ZIP file)
• Latest git installed, and initialize the git before you can use it (MacOS and Linux only)
• Desktop Environment and Window Management with full mouse support, such as GNOME, KDE, whatever (Linux Only)---don't be a total idiot
