Is there any way to hold the notes down? #16

Axarea commented 3 years ago

I found a new virtual piano platform, and it has a way to manually sustain notes. Is there any way I can mess around with the code to make it detect when to press a certain note, and when to let go?

Yes it is possible, and it would require changes to the code. The source files are in the Source folder directly if you know a bit of python3 or would like to learn.

Is the sustain is done on a per note basis by holding the note down, or is it done through something like a piano sustain peddle where all notes played are sustained as long as the peddle is down? The Midi specification has both a notion of "Pedal" track events and key press / key release. The midi file you are using would of course need to have one of these modes of sustain encoded in the first place.

It would be for each individual note, the easiest way to explain it would be the visual in synthesia, do those note sustains transfer over?

I should also mention that I don't know python to the slightest, I've only learned a little bit of lua, and I'm not exactly sure what to even be looking for in this situation...

Information about held notes is now pulled from the midi file.
