How to play MIDI Song's in SCUM
By FlapJack
So, I've previously written up a guide on how to get your MIDI devices working so you can play them while in game. I know that SCUM already has support for that, but
I wanted something with more options. Plus, that guide was a lead up and helped me understand better how to do what I will explain here in this guide.

I'll do my best to lay it out as simple as possible, and by the time you are finished setting thing's up you will be strumming to your heart's delight as your teammates take on
a horde of puppets.

If this work's for you and you end up using it, my only request is some shameless link sharing that I will post at the end of the guide. It helps me gain more support for the project's I create
also helps bring like minded players together.

That being said, Let's get on with the show.

*Setting up Ableton,Importing & Editing songs, and playing music covered in video.


*NOTE For some reason YOUTUBE cut the sound near the end of the video for 20 sec (Music playing low in the backround). don't fret, all the important stuff is before that, and you can still see what was going on in the video to help understand.

Shameless link sharing...
Just to help support myself, and a link back to the guide to help other people in the future.

Hey there.

The Website you´ve uploaded the Projectfile doesnt send any Emails to Login and download anymore.

Would you like to upload it somewhere else?

Regards.

I don't know how you are the only person on the entirety of the internet to post anything useful on this. The download links are bunk though. Says it will send email, and never does.

@tarenharochat You can edit the entire midi file in 1 shot, just highlight all the notes and drag them up so that the lowest note in the file matches the lowest note playable in scum.

So i managed to get this to work BUT. How long does it take for you to edit a god damn song? Some notes wont play (i think if they are to high or low?) Is there any site for "simple" midis or something? :P
