// Equinox Part 4 — Jean Michel Jarre
// 113 bpm, 4/4, key A minor. Source: midi.
// Generated by strudelify. One cycle = one bar.
// note: pitch bends are ignored
// note: duplicate parts dropped: ch 4 "SAW WAVE" lead 2 sawtooth (copy of ch 5 "SAW WAVE" lead 2 sawtooth, 0.427 beats early)
// note: Full arrangement: all 113 bars on a 32-step grid, each part at one level; ghost notes are separate "_soft" parts. Source detail keeps the original performance.

// Notation: c3@3 lasts 3 steps · ~ is a rest · [c3,e3] is a chord · "a, b" plays two voices at once · [...]/2 spreads a riff over 2 bars.
// A part's distinct bars are riffs (A, B, C...) played in order: edit a riff to change every repeat.
