Minecraft Noteblock Song

For my final project I created my own song and then recreated it in Minecraft through the use of noteblocks. The biggest difficulty I faced was transferring the song I'd made in Abelton Live into Minecraft. It took me a few attempts and I ended up having to look for help online. I found a program called Minecraft Noteblock Studio, using it I recreated my song note for note. An incredibly strenuous process because the measures in each program didn't line up. Once complete there I exported the note block song into my world using the program world edit.

How it works: In Minecraft there are blocks called "noteblocks" when activated they play a note. This note can change in pitch by hitting it and in instrument by changing the block below it. Using redstone notes can be timed to sound at specific moments. Combining these principles makes creating music a reality.
