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

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 calledMacros
,Stingers
,Parts
andPlayable Instruments
which allow integration with in-game events.- Last step is to
Upload
yourTheme
to thePlatform
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.
Test and pair different Example Reactional Themes and Reactional Tracks on the Platform.
A simple comparison of themes and tracks would be the following:
Theme | Track (Playlist) |
---|---|
Generative / Interactive | Audio file(s) |
Note by Note | Production quality |
Can adapt to Track | Reactional Ready (musically analyzed) |
Standalone or Adaptive to Tracks | Hundreds of thousands of music tracks |
