// I Feel Love — Summer Donna
// 130 bpm, 4/4, key A major. Source: midi.
// Generated by strudelify. One cycle = one bar.
// note: ch 3 "Bowed Bass" named as a bass, played on electric bass finger (its contrabass patch is not one)
// note: duplicate parts dropped: ch 2 "Right Bass" synth bass 1 (copy of ch 1 "Left Bass" synth bass 1, 0.25 beats late)
// note: Full arrangement: all 195 bars on a 16-step grid, each part at one level. Source detail keeps the original performance.
setcpm(130/4)
// 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.
// bass · synth bass 1 · "Left Bass"
