Pianimator - MIDI to Motion
Studio VYS
in VSE
Blender 5.x support and a round of bug fixes.
• Blender 5.x support — the "This Python version (3.13) isn't compatible with (3.11)" install error is fixed. The add-on now installs and runs on Blender 4.2 through 5.2 from the same package.
• Fixed key animation drifting out of sync with the generated audio on MIDI files that contain tempo changes.
• macOS / Linux: FluidSynth can now be installed with one click from the add-on preferences (Homebrew, or your system package manager). Windows remains fully bundled — nothing to install.
• Fixed a crash when selecting an armature that has no piano-key bones.
• Fixed leftover keyframes stacking up when re-baking in Blender 4.2.
• Much faster baking on dense MIDI files.
• Lighter download: removed an unused 11 MB debug file and the heavy compiled SciPy dependency.
• Added third-party license notices.
How to update: Edit > Preferences > Get Extensions (or Add-ons) > Install from Disk, then select the new .zip. Your existing scenes, rigs and settings are unaffected.
