Music

In order to get potential users headed in the right direction, AdLib Visual Composer was released with several brief example tunes, each named after the genre of music they represented.

Though not in the recording, "Hard Blues" was used in the arcade game Multi Champ (ARC), albeit pitched up and a few instruments changed. Also, Classic is used in the game Puzzle (NES).
