What is Reactional Music?


Reactional Music offers a collection of tools for enabling real-time, note-by-note interactive music in game engines.
These tools help you create fully interactive music experiences alongside licensed tracks.

Bundles

Whether you choose to:

  • Composing in Composer to build interactivity from scratch
  • Use existing assets on the Platform'

To integrating music into a Game Enigne our Proprietary Format bundles your selected Tracks and Themes together into a single Bundle.

Reactional Themes

A Reactional Theme is a composed format for fully interactive music where every note is generated in real time, within the game engine, using virtual instruments.

Composing

  • From a composer's point of view, you compose as usual in a DAW (Digital Audio Workstation) and then add a structural layer that explains the various parts and functions of the music using regions and markers.
  • After completing a composition, converting it to the Reactional format expands it with controls for musical modifications. Using our Composer Tool, the composer sets up a collection of control parameters called Macros, Stingers, Parts and Playable Instruments which allow integration with in-game events.
  • Last step is to Upload your Theme to the Platform where you and your team can access it and test it.

In Game

Once inside the game engine, developers can use the Composed Theme to create Game Mechanics, Animations, Effects or anything else that respond Dynamically and Interactively to music in the game. Via the Macros, Stingers, Parts and Playable Instruments

Find your Theme on the Platform and get full control of the macros and progression of the music inside your game.

Reactional Tracks

On the Platform, you can find hundreds of thousands of Reactional Ready audio tracks from both commercial recording artists and library music catalogs. All of these can be licensed for use in your game, allowing you to achieve a professional-sounding game within minutes.

The Reactional Tracks have undergone thorough Musical Analysis, allowing them to pair perfectly with Reactional Themes. Essentially, whenever a Track is playing, the Theme will adapt to the Track's tempo and harmony. For instance, a fanfare or action Stinger will stay in perfect sync in terms of timing and pitch, regardless of the music.
