BEFORE YOU IMPORT.

YOU NEED A 7-STRING IN DROP A.

Import the FULL file or the split parts, never both, or every note doubles.

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 (A1) or higher.

Time signature: 4/4 for every file. Set your loop region to the bar count listed for each arrangement.

Not tested with any specific DAW or plugin.
