Arcade Games - Space Invaders and Pac Man

These Ableton Extensions were created using open source MIT licensed JavaScript files available by EJINEROZ on github: They are really just a bit of fun and allow you to play retro games within Ableton Live and output the 'game results' as MIDI notes within a MIDI Clip. The Space Invaders Extension lets you play Space invaders. Once your turn ends, any remaining aliens on screen become MIDI notes in a 1-bar, 16 step sequence. The MIDI notes and optimized to be used with a Drum Rack Instrument. Use the Z and X keys to curve your lazers. The PacMan Extension generates MIDI notes dependent on what colour ghost you eat and when you eat them. It picks from 5 notes in C major Pentatonic, with pitch defined by where in the game you eat the ghost. This works nicely for making semi-random ambient melodies. https://winterparkmusic.com/2026/06/03/ableton-extensions-arcade-games/
