Tools for playing music in-game!

[Seksys]

So in Hyperion I tend to play a lot of venues as a performing bard. I got so busy i decided to make a program to make this easier so ANYONE can potentially be a RP performing Bard. I wrote a program called MacroMusicUI (Soon to be rebranded as Mooey). It allows perfectly timed musical playback based on digital MusicXML sheet music files. I'm adding in more import formats such as MuseScore. Right now GuitarPro5 is the preferred MusicXML exporter, but it works okay with MuseScore MusicXML exports.

Here's a video demo of an older version of the app: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fvHzWritODE

And a video of "Band Mode": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sRJ3_5XVJoM

 

There is a discord for users of the app, and some users share their scores. The app supports networking so you can sync multiple players together with some careful sync delays. There's even an "Emote Mode" for a front-person to sing lyrics and do emotes (but its still in development and uses fixed emotes). If you want to see a demo theres videos on the website, or if you are in Hyperion I can do an impromptu show/demo.

I download sheet music from MuseScore, print them out, and play it on my real Yamaha MIDI keyboard, connected to the PC via midi cables.

 

 

Before I got the MIDI figured out, I did write a program (.net) to take in XML formatted music, translate it to the PC keymappings, so it could still be played by actually playing it.

But once you can get the MIDI connection figured out, if you can play keyboard/piano you can play "for real".

 

Personally, I don't like seeing/hearing all of these "bard bots". 

 

But nice job on the program - Midi XML isn't easy to parse and weed out what isn't needed.

Plus there are issues translating into the proper three octave range limitation of FF, and basically only paying attention to the melody line since chords aren't allowed.  I wish they'd fix that.
