// 123 bpm, 4/4, key Bb major. Source: midi.
// Generated by strudelify. One cycle = one bar.
// note: ch 3 "Bass" named as a bass, played on electric bass finger (its lead 2 sawtooth patch is not one)
// note: duplicate parts dropped: ch 1 "Lead 1a" synth bass 2 (copy of ch 2 "Lead 1b" sitar); ch 7 "Fill 1" synth brass 2 (copy of ch 8 "Fill 2" synth bass 1)
// note: Full arrangement: all 132 bars on a 16-step grid, each part at one level; ghost notes are separate "_soft" parts. Source detail keeps the original performance.
