How Music Helps a Game

Music in your game can help with several things...

• Gives professional appearance (or rather, sound)
• Makes the game more fun
• Creates a mood

You may want to use sounds.

Uploading your Music

The ability to upload Sound files is currently limited to administrators only. There is no official way to upload your sounds, and the unofficial way was nuked in 2010. The reason for the lack of sound playing is the massive amount of files that ROBLOX would be forced to stream. . Some songs were uploaded by the Developers and will work, you can find these in official models, Tools and Gear.

MIDI and RIDI

Some ROBLOX users have taken the initiative and created their own music playing scripts. Combined with custom programs that convert MIDI songs into ROBLOX MIDI songs that run with the script, songs can be played. The best collection so far can be found in this set by Aaaboy97. These use Blobbyblob's MIDI. There are 3 known scripts that will play custom music. All of the MIDI scripts on ROBLOX use the pitch property of sounds to create the correct sound. Many also container a database of different sounds you can use, and the fact that some of the scripts load

MIDI, by Blobbyblob.

The MIDI made by Blobbyblob has several advantages. These include.

• Having Aaaboy97's music collection
• Having a composing tool
• You do not need a reference table to use it, the keys are human readable.

RIDI, by Brandonhare

The RIDI made by Brandonhare also is nice. The code itself used too play the music is shorter, so once you memorize the reference keys, it's quite simple to write music.

• Has it's own music collection.
• Has a music composer.
• Having a reference table

Komposers Kit

The Komposers Kit made by Ozzypig is another nice MIDI alternative for ROBLOX.

ROBLOX uploaded songs

These songs were uploaded by ROBLOX. The quality is generally better then the ones you would find that were made by a MIDI. However, it doesn't have a graphical music composer, and it doesn't have a music collection.
