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.
