Music

Outdated Page This article has outdated information. Please update this page to fit our current standards! Specifically: There should be an article about music, but these Roblox.com links won't work anymore. Maybe this article could be replaced with a new guide about how to make use of the Novetus shareddata folder for custom music (and other asset) files?

Uploading your Music

On March 22nd 2022, all existing audio that were more than 6 seconds long — alongside any other audio uploaded past that date — were made private on ROBLOX. This, unfortunately, left players of old ROBLOX launchers and revivals with only bland songs and legacy sounds to use for their games. Fortunately, there are ways to bypass this and once again fill your games — both new and old — with wonderful music.

Work In Progress This is currently being worked on! Check back later for more information... hopefully.

Local Assets

After long hours of looking through old ROBLOX games in studio, it would not take long to discover a link which includes the term rbxasset://. This phrase, rbxasset, is in reference to the content folder which is in every old ROBLOX client folder. An example of this link used in action is with the default face, which is called face.png in the textures folder. The link would be formatted as rbxasset://textures/face.png.

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. One of the best collections 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 contain 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 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 to 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.
