Description
Update 2: Now it's finally fixed
UPDATE: Now your choices are being saved.

Fixed for 1.3 by Degranon
A mod, that lets you play music with keyboard keys, or midi instrument.
To use it, open Matter Manipulator upgrade interface, press button to open MoM interface.
Then spawn item with the button in top right corner and hold it in character's hand.
Then you can play music by typing in "Type music here" field. -- obsolete, read below
You can also modify some settings, like sound envelope or starting octave.

Default layout is piano: rows, that start with "qwerty" and "zxcvb"are white key rows, "12345" and "asdfg" are black key rows.
When you play a note, you can see it displayed for some time next to your character.

To play midi instrument with this mod, you will need to turn midi input into keyboard input with an external program, and use midi layout.

UPDATE:
Added readme.txt
The control scheme for this mod has changed:
now, to play music, you need to click mouse button while holding the music box item
the window will open
then you can play music by pressing keys, while that window is focused.
mod interface still remains in matter manipulator upgrade interface

this change was to enable variable length for sounds: the longer you hold the key, the longer the sound is
this feature can be turned off by switching ADSR switch

about delay between key press and sound playing:
the delay mostly correllates with your client frames per second(FPS)
to reduce the delay, you need to increase your FPS
that can be done by zooming in, turning off vertical synchronization, turning off background programs and other ways



Magicks, 0x00FF00 and Silverfeelin helped the most in creation of this mod.

This mod is dependent on QuickBar Mini mod

Потрясающий мод, жаль только не все музыкальные инструменты есть. :steamsad:

So if I got it right, in order to use MIDI you have to:
1) Download the program that will interpret your midi input as keyboard keys
2) Configure it
(Or you can configure your input via midi driver if you are really cool experienced user)
3) Disapoint in this method, because you can play only 3 octaves (unless you have only 3 on your midi, if so have fun)
I have 4 octaves on my MIDI so i'm quiet sad, but I will still use it

wish we could play in-game music, like my favorite "I was the sun(before it was cool)" theme i know where the theme plays, its like after Nuru is at the outpost and in the gladiator area as the novakid. i just wish that there could be music boxes just like terrarias you could listen to music in your slot without changing but playing over and over

In the description it's stated that in order to use a MIDI instrument, I would be required to use an external program. But what program exactly? :)

btw i will also give this mod an award if you can add the virtual piano website layout, or at least the ability to rebind the keys and include capital letters, because i'm addicted to virtual piano and would really love the ability to play as if i were on the website
Nerezza 17 Jul, 2021 @ 8:54am 
could you make it so you could rebind keys (including shift+letter for the black keys) because i want to play with the same layout on the virtualpiano website. all of the songs i like playing are songs with that layout

Degranon  [author] 8 Jul, 2021 @ 2:41pm 
Already done, just too lazy to polish and publish
Archi 8 Jul, 2021 @ 12:57pm

I don't understand how to open this mod what key do I press to open the HUD, and what do you mean of a MIDI keyboard?
