You are right, but we are wrong  :-)  I was only hoping that there's a single byte mask like Arirang. Based on your test, if it's MThd then we don't know the length of the mask. That's also possible. That's was the case in California Electronics. The mask is embedded in each song. There were even double mask. My great respect to woid, he found the variable length double dynamic mask. We basically had a discussion about our patch results. That's how we got the masks.

Just like any spy work, we are "waiting" for a mistake of the opponent  :-)
Have a look in:

If the mask is variable length only patching could help. Collect results of different songs and patch new songs according to your speculations.

I can do some speculations here (without looking in your data)  :-)
It's highly possible they are using MIDI format because each song is a single file and no offset info for music/lyric address required.
Possible static mask, based on the first few characters.

Good luck in patching  :-)
