[1.9.x] KSP Original Score Project - Over 2 hours of music for KSP!

There is a way to "procedurally" create music, using modular synthesizers or restricting a random MIDI modifier, although I can't imagine a way it could be implemented in a game.

I believe Portal 2 actually did this! I haven't had the time to mess with the mod yet, but i saw this comment and wanted to insert that fact. The Portal 2 soundtrack in game is modified somewhat procedurally, tracks layering in and out, advancing as you go through a chamber, if i recall correctly.

From that description, it sounds like something a little different called dynamic score or dynamic layering. The idea that multiple tracks are composed with the same beat/tempo/format so depending on where you are, it will seamless fade into new tracks. One of my favorite examples of this is Grant Kirkhope's scores to the Banjo Kazooie games!

Just wow. KSP feels totally different with this mod (in a good way). I've been playing with the music muted for years but after installing this I don't think I will mute it again. Congrats on this awesome score, you deserve it

[NightBlade45]

Quick question, I stream KSP, and plan on making a YouTube series of KSP in the near future. I noticed under the README that the music is not for commercial use, and wondered if me streaming with this mod on would count? I would assume so, but wanted to make sure!

Streaming would be fine, even uploading to YouTube would be fine but you wouldn’t be able to monetize the videos.

I've never stayed on the main menu for that long. Excellent music, it completely changes the atmosphere, the game is more contemplative, especially in orbit.

Okay, I appreciate the reply, great stuff! We can only hope KSP 2 can come remotely close to these wonderful tracks

Has anyone of you had a crash with this installed? For some reason my game crashes  see the thread here:

 

[έķ νίĻĻάίή]

Good lord, this is amazing! Kudos to you for actually doing this!

[rettter3]

So in the last few days, I finally got the time to try this out. It's awesome, you really added much to KSP!

I actually always turned of the original music, because after some hours it just got annoying.

Really nice work

Has anyone checked how well the latest version works in 1.10?

It's just audio files, they'll work fine. Soundtrack Editor seems to work fine in 1.10 as well, not not "cleared" for it yet.

[Bej Kerman]

I really want Squad to consider adding this to the base game.

[Aelipse]

Quite an interesting music you've got there. Shamefully, I am unable to install the mod as I play under an older version of the game, but I am used to listening to playlists on youtube while playing KSP. I think I managed to find your channel there and am currently listening to the 'Celestial' album, which I assume is the one you used for this mod. Time-wise, however, it seems to be somewhat shorted than the advertised two hours, so I am wondering if there might be a few pieces in the mod not uploaded to youtube?

Anyhow, I too tend to dip my toes into music production and I have to say your music has a lot of atmosphere to it! What a marvelously pleasant surprise.

I have a question, I tried to get Duna space  working but it appears to not work.

Here is the code, you can tell me if I should talk to the developer of the soundtrack editor or not.

Quote

playlist
{
    name = Duna Space
    loop = True
    shuffle = False
    pauseOnGamePause = True
    disableAfterPlay = False
    tracks
    {
        track = Duna Space
    }
    playWhen
    {
        inAtmosphere = No
        scene = LoadingBuffer | Flight | PSystem
        situation = 112
        bodyName = Duna
    }
}
playlist
{
    name = Duna Land
    loop = True
    shuffle = False
    pauseOnGamePause = True
    disableAfterPlay = False
    tracks
    {
        track = Duna 1
        track = Duna 2
        track = Duna 3
    }
    playWhen
    {
        inAtmosphere = Yes
        scene = LoadingBuffer | Flight | PSystem
        situation = 139
        bodyName = Duna
    }
}

That is correct. There are some versions of cues in the mod that aren’t on the released album because they’re very similar / variations of the same cue. You can always thumb through the files but I appreciate you using a playlist as it helps me out as a musician! 
 

If you have any questions about the production side I’d be happy to answer them through PM. I’m glad you appreciate this atmospheric style!

Are either of the Duna tracks working for you? Just glancing at the code it seems like it should be working. Duna Space should play while you’re in orbit / in Duna’s sphere of influence. Once you’re in atmosphere, it should cycle between the three variations of the Duna ‘ground’ cue.

This music makes me want to crash into the sun with the music  blaring.

[Ryugi]

I don't currently have this mod installed, but I downloaded it to give the tracks a listen, and holy crap.

I might just have to install this if I can ever get my 1.10.1 install working correctly.  This music really is a breath of fresh air.  MAJOR kudos to you!

[J_KING30]

I'm having a few problems with the audio where the sound would just cut out all of sudden, any suggestions?

[EimajOzear]

Love the music! Is there any way to allow any track to play in any circumstance? I'd much prefer some music to play rather than none when I'm visiting non-stock planets.

Where were you when the audio cut out?

When switching songs, this can happens as the next song loads. If you mean the music stops entirely and doesn’t start playing again, then that’s a different issue to troubleshoot.

There is, but it requires a lot of work with the playlists (in other words, I won’t offer support  ). Using Soundtrack Editor, you can modify the songs and/or add more playlists for whatever planet mods you have installed.

I did the playlist editing to get the Space 1-5 tracks to play in space around all the OPM planets + moons, if anyone wants to use it my playlist config file is below:

Just replace your playlist.cfg file (in the playlist folder) with the spoiler.

Also, I'm not sure if anyone else has seen anything like this, but every time the orchestrated main theme finishes on the main menu, KSP becomes a RAM hog for some reason. I just tested this and it did exactly what I described - it does eventually recover and save files can be loaded, it just takes a while and KSP does not respond until it fixes itself.

No longer a problem

I've been playing with this score for several months now. It is so good. The space scenes have a more wonderous feel. The build scenes are given a good industrial feel.

I tried some other scores that are out now. They were a bit to video gamey and distracted from the play. Your score is subtle and really blends in well. Great work!
