// 100 bpm, 4/4, key Eb major. Source: midi.
// Generated by strudelify. One cycle = one bar.
// note: ch 1 "1st Bass" named as a bass, played on electric bass finger (its pad choir patch is not one)
// note: Full arrangement: all 92 bars on a 24-step grid, each part at one level. Source detail keeps the original performance.
setcpm(100/4)

// Notation: c3@3 lasts 3 steps · ~ is a rest.
// A part's distinct bars are riffs (A, B, C...) played in order, A@4 for four bars: edit a riff to change every repeat.
