// 139 bpm, 4/4, key D# major. Source: midi.
// Generated by strudelify. One cycle = one bar.
// note: pitch bends are ignored
// note: bank select 127 on channels 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 11, 15 is ignored: the parts fit General MIDI, not the Roland MT-32 map it names
// note: "Guitar2" named as a guitar, played on electric guitar clean (neither patch table reads its program as one)
// note: duplicate parts dropped: ch 1 "Guitar1" acoustic guitar nylon (copy of ch 2 "Guitar2" electric guitar clean); ch 9 "Bass" acoustic bass (copy of ch 6 "GunShots-" fretless bass)
// note: Full arrangement: all 116 bars on a 16-step grid, each part at one level; ghost notes are separate "_soft" parts. Source detail keeps the original performance.

// A part's distinct bars are riffs (A, B, C...) played in order: edit a riff to change every repeat.
