Came across this midifile of fly me to the moon and have attempted to give it a melody line using Fantasia 1 from the Sync section of the E80.Hope this works ok because something has changed in Box.

Yes, the mp3 is playing fine on my end, Funny I was working on that tune all morning even though I’ve played it so much over the years. So many ways to approach the great old standards. Interesting how you started it in 3:4 time and then a fast swing. Perhaps work on the swing feel. Sometimes it sounded like straight eighth notes and other times overly swung, if that makes sense? The song can be played straight ( usually as a Latin) or swung of couse. Thanks for sharing your work!

About 90% of the time I play this song as a 'swing' song so it was an interesting beginning with what felt to me like a 6/8 tempo ...
However, the lead voice TO ME made it sound like a Christmas song ... and if I might 'critique' in a constructive way, I would say that when playing over a SMF one should mute any other lead voices ... in this tune, it sounds like a piano and then a vibes are taking solos, and you are playing a melody line over them, which once again, TO ME, sounds very confusing ...
