ozu_Pianola.js 1.3
by ozubon
Introduction
This silly plugin attempts to create procedural music based on music theory.
The pianola creates a song for itself, with varying length, scale, key, chords and fullness. When it's done playing its song it will make a new one. And a new one. Forever.
Maybe use it for the piano player at the inn, for ambient adventure music or a haunted piano?
It's entirely a sound plugin but why not show it off with a piano dance:
How to use
To make a pianola you need a parallel event.
Step 1: Add a Wait to the event, this adjusts the tempo of the pianola.
The Wait defines how long a quarter note should be.
So Wait set to 30 roughly translates to 120 bpm (allegro moderato), a very popular tempo.
The longer the Wait the slower the music. If you're unsure, set Wait to 30.
Without a Wait it will be a confused, cloudy and loud ooze of sound.
Step 2: Use script call and enter pianola()
That's it! The event will now play the piano!
Bonus: You can define a max volume, for example 50, like this: pianola(50)

How to install
Move the included audio files to your audio/se folder.
Put ozu_Pianola.js in your plugins folder and load it in the plugin manager as usual!
Terms of use
Credit me
Free to use even commercially. If you want to publish an edit or include it in a plugin pack you must distribute it with the same terms of use.
