The demo songs in the rock style. Each is described below, with the features it uses; About Demos lists every demo.

Synth-Rock: aliens_counting.yml ​

A mid-eighties synth-rock anthem in the manner of The Final Countdown, on that song's chords in another key, with a fanfare of its own in sixteenths on synth brass. A Guitarify makes the guitar's held notes power chords, ringing under the fanfare and a muted gallop in the verse.

Jazz-Rock: annandale.yml ​

A seventies jazz-rock song in the manner of Steely Dan's My Old School, lightly swung: an electric piano on the scale chord 7, so that the Progression gives each chord the seventh its scale says, and a horn line answered two scale steps below by a transposed second horn track.

Pop-Punk Strumming: green_men.yml ​

A pop-punk song in the manner of Green Day and Sum 41 at 180 beats a minute. The guitar track strums every power chord down, tight, as a pick rakes the strings, and in the bridge a Strum generator in the clips' chains wins over the track's strum and rakes down and up, looser.

Indie Rock: know_your_slang.yml ​

An indie rock song in two moods after the Shins' New Slang and Know Your Onion, with melodies of its own: a strummed acoustic guitar with a tambourine, then a jangling electric guitar and a full kit. The acoustic guitar's track strums down and up.

Outlaw Piano Rock: not_werewolves.yml ​

An upbeat honky-tonk piano rock song on the chords of Warren Zevon's Frank and Jesse James, in its key of F major, with a melody and a solo of its own. It opens like saloon music, a stride left hand under a ragtime right hand, before the band comes in and the upright piano plays the tune in octaves, with a ragtime solo and a quiet ballad scene before the last chorus.

examples/by_genre/rock/not_werewolves.yml · F major · 106 BPM · 3:01 · 7 scenes · 11 tracks

Power-Pop: spot_over_there.yml ​

An early-2000s power-pop song in the manner of Stacy's Mom, with a melody of its own: driving eighth-note power chords, a pick bass and a crash on every chorus bar.

Arena-Rock: training_montage.yml ​

An early-eighties film anthem in the manner of Eye of the Tiger, on that song's verse and chorus chords in another key, for a training montage: a Guitarify plays muted power-chord stabs with the kick, then down strokes and a chug under a driving rock beat and a brass lead. The rhythm and the melody are its own.

examples/by_genre/rock/training_montage.yml · D minor · 108 BPM · 2:58 · 8 scenes · 8 tracks

Guitar Showpiece: volcano.yml ​

A solo guitar showpiece of a minute and a half in the manner of Van Halen's Eruption: the band hits a chord and leaves the guitar alone for picked runs, a dive, tremolo picking that a Drift moves about, a fast study a Progression takes round the circle of fifths, and tapped arpeggios, a triad broken up by an arpeggiator in sixteenth-note triplets. No episode comes back, and each has a tempo of its own.

examples/by_genre/rock/volcano.yml · E minor · 100 BPM · 1:29 · 11 scenes · 5 tracks
