// 118 bpm, 4/4, key D major. Source: midi.
// Generated by strudelify. One cycle = one bar.
// note: metre changes (3/16 at bar 1, 4/4 at bar 1) are rendered on a constant 4/4 grid of one bar per cycle
// note: ch 2 "Bass 1a" named as a bass, played on electric bass finger (its pad poly patch is not one)
// note: Full arrangement: all 137 bars on a 16-step grid, each part at one level; ghost notes are separate "_soft" parts. Source detail keeps the original performance.
