How it works

  1. Download and drag the files onto MuseScore 4.
  2. In the Mixer, pick the CW sound on each track.
  3. Press play. (Or start from the included template.)

Why these

  • Leveled to sit together, so you aren't fixing a mix.
  • Recorded instruments, not synths. Free to use in anything you release.
  • Built by Jeff Miguel: saxophonist, teacher and arranger, who uses them on his own charts.
