Can't wait to see the following videos. It's very interesting !

[@benblaumentalism6245]

I look forward to finding out how it deals with Type 1 MIDI files.

[@emmd1137]

love your videos dude thank you!

[@andbur7]

Great, keep with the series. Very helpful. Wondering how it works with chords and multiple tracks of instruments?

[@brianmichaelfuller]

No problem on both of those. You can play multiple tracks at a time based on midi channel

[@Rezgi]

Useful content for us gamedev musicians ! I've been wishing for a daw transport in unreal in order to visualize music events in bpm instead of seconds like in the sequencer, do you know of any feature or plugin doing that ?

[@brianmichaelfuller]

Not that I know of! But in theory you could build some sort of interface in C++

[@Rezgi]

@@brianmichaelfuller meanwhile I found a workaround. I'll use reaper to place midi notes where events should be and I wrote a small script to export the event list to a csv. I'll use that to drive the gameplay. I could try to build an editor with utility widgets but I'll prototype first before trying that. Thanks!

[@benblaumentalism6245]

Nice! Is it async? No need for setting up Quartz?

[@brianmichaelfuller]

You don’t need Quartz unless you want to sync other things not related to it on the audio thread separately.
