MUSIC TRANSITION DESIGNER

State-driven dynamic music system for Unity

Overview

Music Transition Designer (MTD) is a state-driven horizontal music system for Unity, which lets you easily map music tracks to game state combinations and craft musically informed transitions.

Features

State-Driven Playback: Link specific music tracks to game state combinations for a highly responsive, dynamic soundtrack.
Sample-Accurate Scheduling: Guarantee seamless, pop-free transitions with precise audio timing and pre-roll calculation.
Deep Playback Control: 16 different playback position and synchronisation options, including the ability to sync tracks with different tempos.
Extended Transition Configuration: Set up transition rules between entire categories of tracks, and use both-ways transition definitions, minimising redundant configuration and keeping your asset count manageable.
State-Spamming Protection: Automatic latest-only queueing, plus options for minimum play durations and in-progress transition reversals.
Gameplay Rhythm Callbacks: Synchronise your game's visual effects and mechanics to the soundtrack using musical context callbacks.
Stingers & Bridges: Fire stingers independently of the main music system and configure musical bridges between BGM tracks.

Performance & Integration

Centralised Asset Manager: Configure and organise assets in a dedicated dashboard with real-time cascading validation before runtime.
In-Editor Preview Window: Audition transition rules and fades directly in the Unity Editor without entering Play Mode.
Zero-Code Implementation: Control the entire music system using intuitive trigger and action components with no programming required.
Comprehensive API: Access deep control over playback, states, SoundBanks, and event subscriptions via a single static facade.
Memory-Efficient SoundBanks: Load and unload audio precisely when needed using Unity Addressables for optimised memory management.
Minimal Garbage Collection: Keep your frame rate stable with highly optimised, near-zero post-initialisation GC allocation.
Bulletproof Asset Referencing: Rely on a custom GUID system that ensures stable runtime references even if files are renamed or altered.
