Here you’ll find answers to the common questions faced by most Infinite Album users.
What does Infinite Album do?
Infinite Album creates an infinite stream of music that dynamically adapts to the game you’re playing.
What games does Infinite Album support?
Any game you like, if you’re looking for an infinite stream of music. However, Infinite Album’s mappings rely on Overwolf’s API, and are currently only available for the following games:
- CS:GO
- Dota2
- Fortnite
- League of Legends
- PUBG
- World of Tanks
We’ll be adding new titles as the Overwolf platform expands, so check back here often!
What is a “theme”?
A theme is a basic tune (melody + chords), that Infinite Album uses to generate an entire piece. Think of a theme as a building block. Infinite Album can implement the same theme in a number of different styles and emotions. When you create a new theme, you’re changing the basic musical content used in a piece. In other words, it’s like changing the currently playing “track” in Spotify.
Can I save a theme?
Yes! Just look for the “Save theme” item in Infinite Album’s menu (the 3 bars on the top left). If you create a theme you like, be sure to save it, so that you can call on it in times of need (or anytime, really).
What is a “mapping”?
A mapping tells Infinite Album how to change the state of the music (that’s the emotion and style), based on what’s happening in your game. For example, a mapping might tell Infinite Album to switch to excited music every time your hero kills an enemy. Pwning never sounded so sweet.
Can I build my own mappings?
Yes! Check out this article to start building your own mappings.
What is a “style”?
Not just something your Fortnite avatar has in spades. A Infinite Album style is an arrangement of instruments and way of playing those instruments. When you change a style, you’re changing the overall flavour of the music. Some styles differ more than others — try a few and choose the ones that fit you like your own iron-man suit.
How do I tell Infinite Album to generate music that responds to the game I’m playing?
Click on “Mappings” from the menu. You’ll see a list of mappings with descriptions. Choose a mapping that supports your game. To be sure that a mapping supports a game, double check that the game’s title appears under “Supported Games”. Switch on the mapping in the top right. Now you’ve hooked up Infinite Album to the game. Be one with the music!
How does Infinite Album generate the music?
In some secret underground bunker with a mad-scientist behind a keyboard. Actually, Infinite Album uses an AI music engine called Melodrive SDK to generate the music in realtime, completely from scratch. We use a number of different AI techniques to compose, perform and render the music on the fly. We love to think we’re turning our AI into our very own Hans Zimmer meets Koji Kondo meets a better version of Depeche Mode.
