About this mod Author’s original text
Bugle Hero
Play the in-game bugle using a connected MIDI device.
Example:
Features
- Control the bugle using MIDI input (keyboard, MIDI player, etc.)
- Single-note output (no polyphony)
- Automatic MIDI channel detection (configurable if needed, hopefully it works)
⚠️ Early Development Notice
I made this mod in maybe 8 hours or so because I was disappointed there wasn’t already one that did this.
Immediately afterward, I became bedridden, but wanted to upload it so others could use it.
This means it may still be riddled with bugs and is very much in early progress.

Please open an issue on the GitHub repository: Bugle Hero Issues
How It Works
- Listens for MIDI note events and maps them to the bugle’s pitch controls
- Does a best attempt to transpose notes within playable range (from my testing anywhere inbetween roughly C4-C6)
- Supports both local and multiplayer use (or at least, it should)
- Optional MIDI channel override in the configuration file (hopefully this works)
Installation
- Install BepInEx for PEAK
- Download Bugle Hero
- Extract to the PEAK/BepInEx/plugins folder
Usage
- Equip the bugle in-game
- Play notes on your MIDI device to produce bugle sounds
- Only one note will play at a time (latest note overrides previous)
- If auto MIDI detection fails, set your MIDI channel in:
PEAK/BepInEx/config/BugleHero.cfg
Limitations
- Does not work on linux
- No chord/polyphonic playback
- MIDI channel config is untested
- May behave unexpectedly with multiple connected MIDI devices
Install & use Install: BepInEx plugin
- The archive from playbuff is the mod itself — usually a BepInEx plugin (a .dll or a plugin folder once unzipped).
- Recommended: use a community mod manager (such as r2modman) — pick this game, import the mod, and the manager sets up BepInEx and its dependencies for you.
- Manual route: install the BepInEx loader in the game folder, then drop the unzipped .dll or plugin folder into BepInEx/plugins/.
- Launch the game — the BepInEx console logs every plugin it loads; seeing this mod in the log means it is installed.
Mods with listed dependencies need those installed too, or they will not load. Options are usually changed in-game or in the plugin's config file.
Install these first, or the mod will not work:
