Stems, Lyrics, and Timeline

Short answer: feedpak files can include more than notes. They may also include audio stems, lyrics, timing maps, sections, tempo, and related song data.

Stems

Stems are separate audio tracks such as:

  • Full mix.
  • Vocals.
  • Drums.
  • Bass.
  • Guitar.
  • Other.

Not every song includes stems.

Lyrics

Lyrics may include timed words, lines, translations, or transliterations depending on the song package and format version.

Timeline

Timeline data may include:

  • Beats.
  • Sections.
  • Tempo changes.
  • Time signature changes.
  • Keys or harmony where available.

Why This Data Matters

Plugins use this data for lyrics, stem mixing, section navigation, metronome behavior, and practice views.
