Randomly generating cave music in Pikmin 2 needs to have two files: a .bms (sequence) file, and a .cnd (conductor) file.
The BMS file type is a sequenced music format used in many games. For the cave music in Pikmin 2 however, it is specially-formatted. It mainly contains many short snippets of musical information to be randomized.
The CND files are the actual "songs"; they take specific groups of snippets from a BMS file, and endlessly puzzle-piece them together to form a coherent piece of music.
This guide will cover all functions of these files, and walk you through all the necessary steps in creating a simple, randomly sequencing cave song.
Overview of file functions
Here is a summary of all the available functions in CND files, and how information is stored in the BMS, just so you will have an idea of what you're getting to.
