The default range for Bard Music Player is C3 to C6, so I would reccomend fixing your song so it's within those three octaves before you feed it to AllaganHarp. If a chord doesn't get arpeggiated right, go back to the original file and make sure all the notes start on the same tick. There are plans in the future to have it look for chords where some of the notes might be a tick or two off.
Usually this is enough, but sometimes notes start 1 tick after another note in the chord, and this can mess things up. Right now, the program looks for chords by looking for "note_on" messages that start exactly on the same tick. If all things worked as planned, it should get to work creating your new MIDI file and save it in your "songs" directory! If you are not running consistantly at 60 FPS, you may need to raise this number. It will reccomend 0.035, which has worked best for me in my personal testing. Select how long you want your arpeggio spacing to be. I do not recommend overwriting your old song. By default, it will simply add " (Harp).mid" to the end of the filename. The program will ask for the name of the file you want to arpeggiate. You can do this if you prefer not to work with your Bard Music Player songs folder.

exe file somewhere else, it will still work, however it will make its own "songs" directory upon booting up for the first time, tell you to put a song in it, and then exit. This is so that it has access to the "songs" directory where you hopefully store all your MIDI files. Move AllaganHarp.exe to the same directory as FFBardMusicPlayer.exe. Installationĭownload AllaganHarp.exe from the releases page. However, this will likely save you a bit of work when you're making songs. There are still a number of edge cases to accomidate for and issues to fix, so it can't fix EVERYTHING about every MIDI file. This program automates this process! Give it a MIDI file you want to edit, and an arpeggio spacing time (0.035 seconds is a good start), and it will spit out a midi that is suitable for playing on a harp in FFXIV using Bard Music Player! This does mean that any MIDI files you use with programs like Bard Music Player have to be tediously edited so that all chords are slightly arpeggiated, though. Luckily, this sounds good in-game on harps and lutes, like you're strumming on the strings. To play a chord, notes have to be "rolled", or played one at a time very quickly.
In Final Fantasy XIV, bards can really only play one note at a time, which severely limits their ability to play chords. A prototype tool used to "arpeggiate" chords in MIDI files so they can be played in FFXIV using Bard Music Player with instruments like harps or lutes.
