# Example songs

`midi-demo.xtc` is an original MIT-licensed metadata-only example based on the
repository v10 fixture. It contains one A4 MIDI note, a gain node and an output.
Open it in xtc and Play after connecting JACK output ports to hear it. It needs
no media or plugins. `xtc-check --validate midi-demo.xtc` works without JACK.
Save a working copy in your own folder; installed examples may be read-only.

`modern-session.xtc` is an original MIT-licensed four-track, four-bar arrangement
for the Phase 33 workspace. Its 16 MIDI clips contain 128 notes for built-in sine
voices. It needs no plugins or media. Open it to explore colored tracks, MIDI
previews, clip selection and the piano roll. Save a copy before editing.

## Playback test

Open `playback-test.xtc` with `./build/xtc examples/projects/playback-test.xtc`.
Press Play or Space to hear a four-bar sine melody (eight seconds at 120 BPM).
It uses the built-in instrument and needs no media, plugins or MIDI devices,
even when Preferences remembers disconnected production devices. Missing MIDI
routes produce a warning and their names stay saved for the next start.
Connect xtc's JACK stereo outputs to your speakers to listen. Save a working
copy before editing. The melody is original and MIT-licensed.
