Rhythm Games (Roblox / Love2D) If you are building a Dance Dance Revolution or Guitar Hero clone in Roblox (Luau) or Love2D, timing is everything. midi2lua allows your level designers to compose in FL Studio or Ableton, then drop the exported file into your game’s asset pipeline.

function love.update(dt) -- Convert real time to ticks (simplified) current_tick = current_tick + (dt * (bpm / 60) * ticks_per_beat)

If you are tired of guessing note timings or hardcoding arrays of integers, give it a try. Compose in the piano roll. Code in Lua. Let midi2lua handle the handshake. Have you used MIDI with Lua before? Are you building a rhythm game or a synth tool? Let me know in the comments below. midi2lua

Bridging the Gap: An Introduction to midi2lua for Interactive Music

If you’ve ever built a rhythm game, programmed a generative visualizer, or tried to sync a light show to a backing track, you know the pain of manually transcribing note data. You have a beautiful melody in your DAW (Digital Audio Workstation), but your Lua script just sees a list of numbers. -- Output from midi2lua { ticks_per_beat = 480,

Turning MIDI notes into executable code for games, visuals, and custom DAW tools.

for _, track in ipairs(midi_data.tracks) do for _, event in ipairs(track) do if event.tick <= current_tick and not event.triggered then if event.type == "note_on" then playSound(noteToFrequency(event.note)) end event.triggered = true end end end end Most midi2lua converters are command-line tools or simple Python/Lua scripts. function love

Enter —a lightweight utility that acts as a translator between the universal language of MIDI and the elegant simplicity of Lua tables. What is midi2lua ? At its core, midi2lua is a parser/converter. It takes a standard .mid file (or raw MIDI bytes) and converts the event stream into a native Lua data structure.
