If you're experiencing issues with the preview video/live visualizer giving you a black screen, you may need to go into your config.json file with a text editor (directory is listed at the top of the player's window) and make sure none of the indices you're using for your midi tracks are null. If they are, assign them a value. save your changes, then try opening ALMAMPlayer again.
For example, I had 5 midi channels, but despite that all the values under parallax were listed as null. Assigning everything I was using a value fixed the visualizer and preview video.
Hi! Awesome visualizer, just one thing that I've been noticing (I guess I should specify I'm on Windows 10) is that the live previews work great, except the moment I try to export the file the hearts and effects are applied later than they should be and I'm not entirely sure what I can do about that? Maybe in the future you could make an update where you can manually offset that effect in each direction or something?
Hello, I am trying to do literally anything on this cool looking program and it only plays the preloaded MIDI screen with no sound. I am unable to load or delete anything. I see there might be an issue with running this on a Mac, which I am on. Any help anywhere?
Is there any sort of tutorial for this, as I want to use it for my songs in the future but am not quite sure how to change the visualiser's notes to correspond to the JSON?
I love using it, but I’ve been doing some customisations and want to reset my settings to the default way the software was set up when it was installed. Is there an easy way to do this, or can you add a button to be able to reset everything?
Currently, I can reset everything except the background image. I’d really like to have a way to reset the background to the default black one.
Once again, thanks so much for this very useful app!
Hi, I love your player!! But there's just a few bugs. Thanks to you making it open source I was able to investigate the occasional "zero duration notes" issue even in non-staccato channels. I think the fix is to simply alter sort_ascending() in beat_detection.gd to look like this:
func sort_ascending(a, b):
if a[2] == b[2]:
if a[1] == -100 or a[1] == -128:
return true
if a[2] < b[2]:
return true
return false
With that little addition the MIDI note off events will be sorted before new note on events. I didn't look into your note processing logic for a reason as to why that causes an issue, but it was definitely related to note on/off triggering at the same time, and with this change I didn't see the issue come up on my test songs.
Hope it's useful, and thanks for making this great player!! :)

anytime i upload my files a black screen is there and even when i delete %appdata% it still doesn't work
Yeah same and I don't know if we'll get any answers. the creator doesn't seem to be active anymore.

No matter what I do all when I open the program it is just a black screen.
idk why but i can't play any midis nor mp3s, does someon know what's up?
i cant find any option to set a bpm i think im stupid
the bpm is set in the midi itself

Hi Almam!
Thank you for this visualizer. I've been slowly figuring it out for the past couple days.
One thing: the live visualization is broken more often than not on my end, and resetting it sadly doesn't seem to do anything.
Strangely, it always works perfectly with the demo config that comes with the program. WHat could it be?
Hi Almam!
Thanks for this amazing visualiser!
