The user interacts with a MIDI device, sending a raw data packet (usually a 3-byte message containing the status, note/CC number, and velocity/value).
local song = require("output") local tps = (song.tempo / 60) * song.resolution for _,t in ipairs(song.tracks) do for _,n in ipairs(t.notes) do schedule(n.start / tps, n, n.duration / tps) end end
If you want to control different game elements (e.g., drum track affects particles, piano track affects lights), separate them into different tracks in your DAW before converting. midi2lua
lua_table += " \n"
At its core, MIDI2LUA is a converter that translates data—which consists of instructions like note pitch, velocity, and timing—into Lua code. Instead of manually coding every note for a virtual piano or synthesizer, this tool generates a script that "plays" the music for you by simulating keypresses or triggering internal game functions. Why Use It? The primary appeal lies in automation . The user interacts with a MIDI device, sending

The output is – no external MIDI parser or real-time MIDI playback required at runtime.
