scroll with mouse or arrow-keys or drag. fullscreen recommended the visualization turns off sometimes for better performance. on scratch i recommend disabling it (disabled by default) because else the clone limit would prevent some songs from playing. you can enable it by setting "scratch_visualization" to 1 (in the settings). when you disable it you see the clones wich play the notes turbowarp link: https://turbowarp.org/872222551/fullscreen i recommend disabling the "warp-timer"-option for this project when in editor mode. it usually prevents crashes, but also makes projects slower. the risk of crash for this project is low. it has own crash-protection(the visualization gets disabled when causing too much lag) imaginary asked questions: Q: you said visualization. i only see colorful dots blinking to the music. what am i supposed to do with that? A: thats the visualization that is default when you are using it on scratch. its better for performance. the color means: yellow-ish color are low notes and the more blue it goes, the higher is the note. Q: thats not a good visualization. i want these lines falling on a piano. can you add these? A: they have already been added. you can enable it (on scratch) by going in the settings(that gear-icon at the main screen) and setting "force_visualization" to 1. but i have to warn you. it has an impact on performance and some songs (rush e) hit the clone limit when this is active. try it on turbowarp. visualization is enabled there by default. link is in description. Q: the visualization turns off sometimes. A: i made that to ensure better timing. you can see what happens without that if you go to the settings and set "visualization_autodisable" to 0. warning: it also works as a kind of crash-protection. if it is disabled it could slow down/lag alot and potentially crash. Q: loading takes long A: thats probably because it has a big list in it. not with many entries, but with long ones. the list where all the songs are stored in. Q: no, i mean when i clicked at a song it takes long time for the song to start. A: oh sorry, thats because the song is saved as one element in that list and that element has to be split into the notes before it can start playing Q: thats a lot of text in that list. do you have a program for that? i can't imagine writing that by hand. A: yes, i have a program written in python for reading midi files and converting them into that music format. if you want to know how that format works, take a look at the comment in the stage-scripts. Q: how long have you been working on it? A: i made a simmilar project at the end of 2021, but it was only single-track. i started a copy of that and tried making it multi-track, but then i lost motivation and did other projects. then on April 2023 i saw the Rush E player by it gave the motivation to continue with this. and now, about 4 months later i have this project. it was a lot of work. i would appreciate if you leave a like and maybe a fav. thanks (actually, i spend more than a month thinking about really publishing it, because i wanted it to be featured, but i realised that it doesnt fit the requirement for beeing featured) Q: why do you think it doesnt fit the requirement? its a great project. A: reasons why this will probably not be featured: 1) its from a big scratcher 2) which is following alot of others. 3) the code is complicated and hard to understand if you didnt make it 4) its a good project 5) only 3 sprites (if you are from scratch team: show me that im wrong (please)) Q: why did you use clones after all this pen-projects? A: one explaination could be: i wanted to see if im able do do clones anymore. also: using clones here makes it easier, i think. and this is a bit pen too: if you look at the piano visualization. the lines and the piano is drawn with pen Q: that songs are boring. can i suggest new songs. A: I respect your opinion. and yes, you can suggest new songs. there should be a midi file for it(it would help if you provide a link to that midi file, but i can also search for one myself) and it shouldn't be for example rap with only one singular note. that would be even more boring(my opinion) because this project can't speak Q: i've seen a video on youtube where someone made a piano say words, by playing the frequencies of a voice recording. could you do that? A: yes i already did that and it worked, but that entry in that list was too big for scratch to save the project, so its not a public version Q: the song <insert song name> doesnt sound like the original. A: that's probably because i used a midi-file. and these aren't always identical with the original. if you have a better one, you can post the link in the comments and ill replace it Q: why did you write that imaginary conversation in the description? A: 1) i was bored. 2) i thought it could help answering some questions. if it didnt, feel free to post it in the comments
