Illumination Ritual,
the Whole Song as a Tab

The Appleseed Cast, "Illumination Ritual" (2013), start to finish. A real drum tab (piece rows, x and o markers), a bass fret tab, and a guitar chord row, all under one playhead that runs the real isolated stems. Mute any part. Click anywhere on the tab to jump there.

The full song, written as a drum tab like the ones online: each drum has its own row, and the red line runs along while the real band plays. Bass shows fret numbers. Tap the tab to jump.

The whole-song tab

Drum tab on top (crash, hi-hat, snare, tom, kick), bass fret tab, guitar chords. The playhead follows the real audio and the strip scrolls to keep up.

Try it: press play and watch the red line. Press "Drums" to turn the drums off and hear just guitar and bass.

How each row was made (honest provenance)

Drums: from the DrumSep MIDI (illumination-ritual-drums.mid), 5 isolated lanes, x = cymbal or hi-hat, o = kick, snare, or tom. Bass: monophonic pitch tracking (pyin) mapped to a 4-string bass fret position. Guitar: a per-bar chord estimate from the chromagram (the layered guitar defeats note-by-note tracking), with a silence gate so quiet bars show nothing rather than a guessed chord. The real guitar stem carries the full detail on playback.

Drums and bass are written down hit by hit. The guitar is fuzzy and layered, so it shows the main chord each bar, and the real guitar sound fills in the rest.

The faint hi-hat is real playing

Quiet (-40 dB) and dense (719 hits), quantized to a 0.167 mean off-grid (0 is perfect, 0.5 is random), so it is genuine, kept honestly. On playback you hear the real hat.

The hi-hat was quiet, so we checked the hits line up with the beat. They do, so we kept them.
