Red Stapler's Music Melomania Mod (RSMMM) Stock-alike Instrumental & Ambient Tracks for KSP RSMMM is a mod/add-on to Soundtrack Editor that adds 169 stockalike music and 57 ambient sounds in order to further enhance and add a bit of groove to your Kerbal Space Program experience. All tracks are instrumental, some are whimsical, some are loungy...all approved by the Kerbin Instrumental Sound Society (KISS). Reggae/Dub, Funk, Jazz, Disco, World, Classic Guitar, Latin/Brazilian, Blues, Mellow Rock, Loungy Stand up Bass Types, Groovy Space Rock, Futuristic Modern Spacey Stuff, Chilling in Space Ambiances, 1960s Star Trek TV Series sound-alikes, and a splash of Austin Powers-ish cutscene music to keep your Kerbals (or you) from going daft on long missions. - Downloads - Note: Soundtrack Editor installation is required RSMMM (mod): GitHub | SpaceDock | CurseForge RSMMM (source): GitHub Image Gallery (Some late night ‘concert’ screen shots, just for fun) Sample Music Bummin on Tremelo Chill Wave Bicycle Deadly Roulette Secret of Tiki Island Sneaky Snitch Jellyfish in Space Eternity Kool Kats Your Call Additional music at: https://incompetech.com/music - This is Kevin MacLeod’s site http://freemusicarchive.org - Tons of music https://www.free-stock-music.com - More tons of music https://freesound.org - Gazillions of ambient sounds Installation You need to have Soundtrack Editor already installed in your root KSP folder as per the instructions for that mod. Extract the entire contents of this zip to the KSP root folder, merging the Licenses, Music, and Playlists folders with the existing folders (RSMMM will not overwrite anything in these folders unless you have installed an earlier version of this mod). Open the Playlists folder, make a backup/rename your current playlists.cfg file and rename RS playlist.cfg* to playlist.cfg. * NOTE: RS playlists.cfg is a 'Read Only' file. REASON: There is a minor bug in Soundtrack Editor that changes 'vesselState' to 'vesselSituation' when you save changes via the in game editor (affected playlists will not work correctly the next time you fire up KSP). Feel free to manually edit the playlists file but remember to make it 'Read Only' again or you will get musical 'surprises' in flight scenes. 4. Launch KSP and enjoy the new instrumental and ambient tracks! Other/Helpful Info Opening Soundtrack Editor (per instructions from Soundtrack Editor): Start up KSP and go to the KSC or flight menu. Click on the music speaker icon in the application launcher to open the Soundtrack Editor. Adding custom music files (per instructions from Soundtrack Editor): Drop any new .wav, .ogg or .mp3 files you want to use into the Music folder, next to KSP.exe. These will be available to use in Soundtrack Editor playlists. You can create as many sub folders here as you want to organize the tracks. The ‘Not Used’ Folder (located in Music\RSMusic\Not Used): Contains a few tracks that were interesting but did not make the cut for now. Kept the files since others might find a use for them. Works great with other sounds mods (since it’s instrumental): I have Chatterer installed and both work great together. I just tweaked my sound settings a bit as I like the music lower in the background with sound effects & chatter a bit louder.

Soundtrack Editor The latest result of the Kerbal Sound Overhaul Project, this mod allows you to add and remove music from the game, and set up playlists which decide when each song plays. Always wanted to hear Blue Danube when docking with a space station, a metal version of KSP's theme song when you start up the game, or Danger Zone while you buzz the control tower? This is the mod for you! Just drop some music files in the KSP\Music\ directory, launch the game, and use the in-game playlist editor to choose when you want them to be played. A selection of free stockalike tracks are included from musician Kevin MacLeod, who created many of the tracks used in stock KSP. Several thousand more tracks are available for free at his website here. If you find any that work well with KSP, leave a message and I'll add it to a future sound pack. A replacement for the Kerbal Space Centre birdsong ambience is also included, edited from the original recording here. Currently .wav and .ogg filetypes are supported, as well as .mp3 on Windows (still working on a fix for Linux and Mac, but .wav and .ogg work fine).

If you've enjoyed this, consider donating a cup of coffee to help with late night coding: Included Tracks: Forest Investigations The Other Side of the Door Darkest Child Dragon and Toast Fairytale Waltz Martian Cowboy Mysterioso March Numiinous Shine On the Shore Peaceful Desolation Playlist Settings Enabled: This allows the playlist to be prevented from being played without deleting it. Loop: Once this playlist finishes playing its last track, it will start at the beginning and play all the tracks again, indefinitely. Shuffle: Before being played, the order of the tracks in this playlist is randomised. Pause On Game Pause: If this is selected, the track will stop playing when the pause menu is open. This is useful for atmospheric effects that shouldn't continue when time has been paused. Disable Once Played: Once this playlist has been played once, it won't be played again until you re-enable it again. Useful for setting up music for once-off, first-time events or achievements. Next Playlist: Once this playlist has finished playing, the playlist listed here will be played. Sort This Playlist Before: If multiple playlists are all valid to be played with the current situation, this playlist should be played before the one listed here. Sort This Playlist After: If multiple playlists are all valid to be played with the current situation, this playlist should be played after the one listed here. Preload Time (s): When changing between tracks in this playlist, the next track will be preloaded into memory this many seconds before the current track ends. This can be used to reduce gaps or stuttering between tracks. In Atmosphere: Whether this playlist should only be played if the active vessel is in atmosphere. Time of Day (KSC): Whether this playlist should only be played when it is a certain time of day at KSC. Twilight denotes that the sun is just below the horizon. This only works with the stock KSC. Schene: Which areas of KSP this playlist should be played in, for example the Tracking Station or SPH. "Flight" is the main rocket-flying game scene. Vessel Situation: What the active vessel is currently doing. Landed: Has been moved, but is currently in contact with the ground. Splashed: In an ocean. Prelaunch: Has not yet started moving quickly after being loaded. Vessels can stay in Prelaunch while moving slowly over land. Flying: Moving in atmosphere. Sub orbital: On a path that leaves the atmosphere of a body, but will fall back down to it again. Orbiting: In orbit around a body. Escaping: On a path that will cause the vessel to leave the current body's sphere of influence. Docked: Docked with another vessel. Camera Mode: What the current view is: Flight (normal view), map, external (?), IVA (inside a vessel), Internal (using one of the IVA window views), any (any camera mode, don't care). Body Name: The name of the body (e.g. planet, star, moon) that this vessel is currently in the influence of. This supports bodies added by mods, but be sure to spell them correctly. Vessel State: Use this to have a playlist played when a vessel has been destroyed (dead). Max Surface Velocity: This playlist won't be played if the vessel is going above this speed as displayed in the navball's "Surface" mode. Min Surface Velocity: This playlist won't be played if the vessel is going below this speed as displayed in the navball's "Surface" mode. Max Orbital Velocity: This playlist won't be played if the vessel is going above this speed as displayed in the navball's "Orbit" mode. Min Orbital Velocity: This playlist won't be played if the vessel is going below this speed as displayed in the navball's "Orbit" mode. Max Altitude: This playlist won't be played if the vessel is above this altitude (relative to sea level, as displayed in the main altimeter). Min Altitude: This playlist won't be played if the vessel is below this altitude (relative to sea level, as displayed in the main altimeter). Future plans "Close" button in the main window. More options for playlist settings (suggestions welcome): Apoapsis max/min. Periapsis max/min. Vessel has a target selected. max/minDistanceTarget, max/minVelocityTarget.
