Insane Minecraft Music Generator Tutorial

Welcome back settling here today I’m going to show you a system for creating randomized music first let’s listen for a moment so obviously this isn’t you know the best music ever but and and I am by no means an expert in music theory but I know enough to make this and it’s also

Not the worst music ever so this is this is a system uses redstone randomizers to create randomized music and it’s totally buildable in survival so that’s the cool thing about it it would be a pretty large project as you can see but it’s definitely doable let me go over how

It’s done and I’ll go over the music theory and also the redstone theory behind it you can see it’s kind of split up into groups of four note blocks each note block represents a different major chord this one down here is an f-sharp major chord this one is a G major chord

Etc and the way that the system creates music is is it picks a group like it just picked this one and it plays four notes from that group at random so it plays four random notes see if we can find another one so there you go played

Four notes from that one and that goes on to another chord and then plays four notes for the next next chord so just picks a random chord then plays four random notes and and the the randomizer here is actually crucial this is something I invented just for this

Purpose I actually built it during a live stream I filled this entire thing during a live stream on my twitch channel twitch.tv slash sethbling a little plug there and it’s pretty cool it’s it’s pretty compact I don’t know if anyone’s built this before or anything more compact

I would guess probably somebody has but you can see this is this has two outputs it’s got the two note blocks here with outputs half the time it’ll pick the right and half the time it’ll pick the left and it’s just random which one it picks you

Can look at it and copy it for yourself if you’d like there’s a one tick repeater here’s a tube stick for Peter there’s a parody etc you so you can see everything except the one thing you can’t see is inside here I have a diamond this could be any pretty much

Any stackable item and a minecart and so when I push the button here or give a redstone signal to the dropper the dropper will put one of those two items at random into the hopper the hopper will put them immediately back into the dropper but before it does that it’ll

Output a redstone signal depending on whether it’s the minecart or the Diamonds it’s the minecart it’ll output a signal of two if it’s the timing to output a signal of one because the minecart takes up more space in the hopper so if it’s a signal of two we get

The right notes and it’s a signal of one we get the left note and that’s that’s just how it works get the right one there we go and the cool thing is this isn’t set up so that it’s timed so that it’ll take the same amount of ticks to pick either

Left or right so it’s also nice that it’s flush here so I’ve used a lot of these a lot of these randomizers so when we want to pick a random note from this group of four first it picks left pair or right pair with this randomizer then

If it picked less pair it’ll pick left or right note here or if it’s right pair it’ll pick left note or right note from here so that’s how it picks between those four now there’s a little thing here that that will pulse four times and

When I push this button you can see it pulls four times three four so pulses four times when I want to do that there we go there’s another pulse of four and so that’s why it plays four notes in the group now driving the entire system and

Picking the chords is this clock so this clock has a loop of 24 redstone ticks and there’s three layers of randomizers there’s this one here there’s these two here in the second layer and then there’s these four here in the third and so those set those randomizers will

Pick will pick which chord to play so you know each one of these has two outputs and it’ll pick another randomizer etc until you get to a chord in which case it plays four notes and that’s pretty much how the Redstone works it’s just a lot of these arena

Misers hooked up with with wires and then this pulse pulse quadruped player also so that’s how that’s how that system works and yeah again not the necessarily the best music but it’s it’s fairly pleasing ambient music I would say and this might be nice addition to a base that you have somewhere or

Something definitely buildable and survival so that’s pretty cool yeah so there’s the music theory if you want to do the chords the way I set it up was this is the F sharp chord I did zero ticks seven ticks twelve ticks and nineteen ticks and then is all the other

Ones are the same thing just offset by a certain number in order to be instead of F sharp G this is offset by one tick because G is one half step above F sharp you might have to know a little bit about music theory to try and set this

Up but I’m sure somebody can come up with something better than this to somebody who actually knows some things about music theory I think this is pretty cool for kind of a layman’s attempt at the music randomizer that’s about it thanks for watching you
