Note of the Week

Since we were adding various quality of life feature into the visualizer template, we got no video to showcase. We apologize.

The features include putting our API (expressions) into a set of text layers (This is due to the After Effects CS6 not supporting relative paths in the evalFile function), creating two sets of expression controls (one for MIDI messages, another for audio files) to make importing files for each menu easier, and further adding more ways to pick the value from MIDI with functions.

Now, we are currently facing two big problems. One is that either the current MIDI value picking algorithm, or the particle effect itself, iterates once per frame. If you watch the video below, you will see inconsistent note length in the power chord notes after the 20 second mark. We checked the keyframes generated from the MIDI plugin and the keyframe data did not get quantized by frames. That means the keyframes lie exactly where the note start points are. Another problem is around the percussion notes. The previous problem explained causes the percussion notes to simply disappear due to these notes having the length of zero. Ideally, the percussion notes should be displayed as dots. We are trying to fix them right now.

Commission Details (not yet opened)

We are going to write down all the details in the Noisysundae HQ. It will be available once renovation is finished. As of now, the styles we intended to go for the commissions are atmospheric and melodic stuff as you usually taste from our menus like Oceanside, Heart of the Mountain, and many other. We also prefer epic (fake) chiptune like Midnight Phantoms and piano stuff too. All is mixed with the current mastering approach (Cosmic Observer and Your Everyday Happycore, for examples). Currently, we set the main focus on the renovation and we are going to finish it first within a few months. 1st of April is the ETA.
