BUMP
Melodious Tron has been fixed / updated!
There were a couple designs I fiddled with, but I've finally decided on the one currently being used (4 tracks / cycles = polyphonic songs).
I had a few other designs, including one that could have varying volumes, for 10 tracks! Even possibility for "percussion" (just abuse of the cycle speed and sound).
I may still attempt that other design in the future, but for now the one decided on is the most compatible / stable; plus it still supports monophonic songs too (the original melodious).
Melodious Tron is now self-serving!
Meaning you can join the server and play the songs you want, and I don't have to be there.
Commands:Code: Select all
/list
The above command lists the available titles one may choose to play
/play <title>
The above command loads a song for playing.
Notes:
- it is probably better to try it on your own / at night when the host isn't using their internet connection
- other users may join and watch, but it's better for lag if you're alone / if they are all spectators
- when a song is chosen, no other song may be chosen until the song is finished playing and you see the "Ready!" message in green.
- given the above point, there is currently no queue, and no priority for anyone; the /play command is a first-use first-serve basis. (be kind and take turns)
- when loading a song, each song will take about 20 seconds to prepare (delay may reduce later on; it's a safety measure to ensure the best playing possible)
Personally I suggest the "familyguy" theme song - it seems to be the one that plays the best (most accurately).
But feel free to let us know which was your favorite!
Adding more songs:
There's not too many songs on there now (close to 10 I think) and they aren't the best selection either (most are tests from the design phase).
I'm currently looking into adding more songs, and am open to suggestions.
What I'm looking for: a MIDI file. It is best if the MIDI has easily discernable tracks (any MIDI editor should tell you).
Here's a MIDI sequencer - use to edit or CREATE your own MIDIs.
Here's a MIDI editor - use to select / isolate specific tracks in a MIDI file, crop length, adjust volumes, etc..
If all you do is give me a name, I can find the MIDI and add the song myself, however, I can't guarantee that I will find a MIDI of your song request, and the whole process will take longer anyway.
Find me a good MIDI file yourself, and the process can go much faster, and I can add it into Melodious sooner.
The song cannot be too long (or else tron will have trouble playing it), and as you can see with some of the faster songs (fzerobb or powerrangers) having notes that are too fast might be skipped randomly (lag?).
I have yet to add in the original monophonic songs, and already have a list of new polyphonic MIDIs to add ("Pirates of the Caribbean" among them).
Hope you guys enjoy it; I'll be adding what I can to it soon (so there's more than just 10 or so songs, there can be hundreds).
Feel free to post MIDIs, links, and song requests here; I'll add it to the list when I can.
Suggestions for improvement are also accepted; though you should note that I'm already working with a very finicky tron and some things just aren't possible (I might not even be able to get that 10 track design to work) so don't expect miracles (especially on the hosting it is on).
