  3. No file sends a program change on the drum channel (10).
  4. Channel layout: guitar on channel 1, bass on 2, lead on 3, drums on 10. This pack has no harmony part.
  5. Standard MIDI Files, format 1, 480 PPQ.

LEAD RANGE NOTE.

CAN YOU PLAY EVERY LEAD NOTE?

Almost all of it. Two lead notes in the Signature Ring loops sit one semitone above the highest note on a standard six-string, 24-fret Drop C guitar. They are MIDI 87 (D#6/Eb6), the lead maximum, and that guitar tops out at MIDI 86 (D6).

Ember Hymn (DCFE01, lead file and FULL file): one held note at the start of bar 3.
Cold Cathedral (DCFE03, lead file and FULL file): one note on beat 4 of bar 5.

As MIDI they play normally in any instrument that reaches MIDI 87 (D#6). On a real guitar you will need an extended-range instrument, or you can play those notes an octave lower. Every other lead note falls within that range (the measured lead range is MIDI 70 to 87, maximum MIDI 87 (D#6)).
