MIDI ONLY, NO AUDIO

These files contain notes, not sound. Load your own guitar, bass and drum instruments.

WHAT'S INCLUDED (34 MIDI files)

• 8 FULL files, one per arrangement (all parts together)
• 8 guitar, 8 bass and 8 drum split part files
• 2 lead files, for Glass Meridian and Banner
• Composition spec for each arrangement (score.json, optional; not needed to use the MIDI)
• Quick-start guide in English and French, drum map (DRUM-MAP.json), file index, checksums, licence

FULL OR SPLIT PARTS, NOT BOTH

Load the FULL file or the split parts, never both, or every note plays twice.

YOU NEED A 7-STRING IN DROP A

Guitar tuning: A1 E2 A2 D3 G3 B3 E4. Bass tuning (5-string): A0 E1 A1 D2 G2.

Your guitar instrument must reach MIDI 33 (A1), and every arrangement uses that note. A six-string in standard tuning stops at MIDI 40 (E2) and a seven-string in standard tuning stops at MIDI 35 (B1), so set yours to Drop A or use an instrument that reaches A1.

Your bass instrument must reach MIDI 21 (A0) for Funeral Weather and Tar Pit, and MIDI 28 (E1) for Gridshift. The other five keep the bass at MIDI 33 or higher.

Guitar notes run from MIDI 33 to 76 and lead notes from MIDI 69 to 83, all within 24 frets.

FORMAT

Standard MIDI files, format 1, 960 PPQ. Time signature 4/4. GM drums on channel 10; guitar on channel 1, bass on 2, lead on 3. Not tested with specific DAWs or operating systems.
