// Hush — Tool
// 164 bpm, 4/4, key B minor. Source: midi.
// Generated by strudelify. One cycle = one bar.
// note: pitch bends are ignored
// note: ch 6 "ADAM JONES - GUITAR" named as a guitar, played on electric guitar clean (its slap bass 2 patch is not one)
// note: duplicate parts dropped: ch 4 "DANNY CAREY - DRUMS" slap bass 2 (copy of ch 1 electric bass pick)
// note: Full arrangement: all 115 bars on a 16-step grid, each part at one level. Source detail keeps the original performance.
// note: Guitar parts that double another keep only their own notes (fills, solos): guitar program 30.
setcpm(164/4)
// 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.
