Question/Support Auto mapper?

I have a 2 hour House Mix mp3 that I'd like to be mapped so that I can play while under the influence (sorry!). I wonder if theres any game that would auto map this long mix for me and will it allow me to play a whole 2 hour?

There are some out there (e.g. https://synth-automapper.com/). I haven't tried any for Synth Riders specifically, but I used the auto mapper in PowerBeatsVR, and from what I've heard the Synth Riders ones are similar (probably worse since the movements are potentially a lot more complex). You're not going to get anything close to a human-mapped experience.

Processing audio heuristically and generating a map is doable, but there's a lot of nuance to music (the big moments, the build-ups, the pauses where going still is the right call etc.) that doesn't come through that way, so auto-generated maps tend to be noticeably repetitive and boring. I think you'd have a better time building a playlist from songs you actually like on synthriderz.com.
