your stuff is so underrated -- thank you !!!

[@DimitriosDenton]

Love your tutorials. Learned a ton from them. I don't think I could have made it without you. But just wanted to say those are not cool laser sounds. Those are cartoon laser sounds. That's it. That's the most criticism i could find for this wonderful series.

[@brianmichaelfuller]

I think they’re cool;) Yeah, this was more of just an experiment to show how to use synthesis. Not anything to ship and win audio awards lol

How to print out the duration of MIDI notes in music playback for Blueprint usage?

[@brianmichaelfuller]

I’m not sure exactly what you are asking? What midi software or plug-in are you using? Are you asking how to determine the length of beats at a certain tempo? If so, there is a BPM note in Unreal you can use to set pulses at different divisions …. You can also find a midi note calculator online that can give you exact note lengths at specific tempos…

[@AIGameMonster]

The source of Midi can be produced by other general MIDI software, or it can be a song edited through Meta Sound. I want to output Meta Sound note data as events for a rhythm game. I need the time and duration of each note. @@brianmichaelfuller
