All of Scott Joplin's The Entertainer, with its repeats, about four minutes. Each scene is eight bars, half a strain, lining up with the sheet music, and the right and left hands are on separate tracks. It's here to show how a long piece feels in the tracker, with dozens of patterns. A pattern plays one note or one chord symbol at a time, so each hand is split into three voices: treble 1 is the melody, treble 2 and 3 the notes under it, bass 1 the lowest note of the left hand, and bass 2 and 3 the notes above it.

The demo's video plays the song from the top in real time, with no live editing and no cursor moving.
