You'll have to use sustain pedal if you have MIDI keyboard, or just use original Playable Piano addon if you use PC keyboard to play.

Hi, how to disable the option "- Enhanced sound processing: note sound is stopped when a key is released." Thanks
Because it cut very brutally the song sometimes.

baller

nevermind, it's in fun+games

im trying to use this, but it just isn't anywhere in my spawn menu

If a file that corresponds to GMod branch in use is present and you're still getting the same error, try installing the Microsoft Visual C++ runtime libraries package (https://aka.ms/vs/17/release/vc_redist.x86.exe for default branch, https://aka.ms/vs/17/release/vc_redist.x64.exe for x86-64 branch).

Apparently, there is a problem with your GMCL binary LUA module installation. If you're running Windows and you're using the default GMod branch, there should be a file called 'gmcl_midi_win32.dll' inside the garrysmod/lua/bin directory of your GMod installation directory. If you're using the x86_64 branch, there should be a file called 'gmcl_midi_win64.dll' in the same directory.

Hi! I have a problem, I did everything as needed, but the console error "[MIDI Playable Piano] Couldn't include file 'includes\modules\midi.lua' - File not found (@lua/midi_interface/base.lua (line 150))
" Tell me if you know how to solve the problem. Thanks!

Just going to confirm, this lets me use a midi file, and play it on a PC keyboard?

If you're using Windows, try this: https://www.tobias-erichsen.de/software/loopmidi.html

I tried it allready and the one i had didnt work. If you got any tools that do this, i'm happy to use it

It would if your application can propagate key presses as DirectInput events to the game. otherwise I suggest you to use software which can emulate a MIDI input device, or one that can create MIDI loopback device (if you're using Linux, you most probably don't event need a separate software because you can just configure a MIDI loopback device using ALSA userspace tools).

I have a software, app, whatever you'd like to call it, that takes .midi files (The music, not the plug-n-play) and play the notes on the PC Keyboard. Will this work with this mod? I remember it didnt with the origional one.

Nice! Thanks a lot!

Video demo, I recored and played as client, then host played.

It's all right, I've tested MIDI input myself. I was worried that some clients might not hear all of the sounds played or they might be cut off in the middle.

Keep in mind, I don't have midi device, i can't tell if it works

Thank you very much for testing this!

Yeah, this is most probably caused by the fade out effect (the SoundPatch.ChangeVolume call). I tried to minimise the chances by adding an artificail timeout which, when elapsed, prevents the fade out from being executed. Might try decreasing the NOTE_PLAY_TIME_MAX value in the cl_init.lua of the kbd_instrument_base entity.

Overall, it works fine. Tested being connected to server. All keys were transmitting fine.

Sometimes key is played on release
