I would also love to know if we can have more than one musical droid out at a time.
not as of yet... still only one PET per non CH character, and CHs can have multiple creature pets only
but I would really like for this to be changed at least for non combat droids...
anything that accepts a standard droid module including
- all R units
- MSE droids
- Probots
- BLLs
- more (but I'm not sure which ones)
The playback module requires a component made by a musician; the schematic will be released with the patch. If you wanted to help out your friendly neighborhood much-less-abused-now DE, send them an email and offer to make a manufacturing schematic for them; they will probably gladly pay you.
One thing of note: there are six entertainer effects modules. That means that in order to get an uber-entertainer droid with playback and effects, you will have to give up one of the effects modules -- the R3 ADV only has six slots available for modules.

The entertainer droid effects look fantastic. In addition, it's been confirmed that you can put BOTH a playback module and an effects module into a droid, and they both work. (As a DE, I can tell you that two different modules working at the same time in a droid at the time of release is a near-miracle)

I think it's five.
Let me see if I have this straight...
Each effect requires a module (1 for Jawa Dancers, 1 for Foam, etc), but you can have multiple playback tracks on a playback module. How many tracks fit in a module? I can see having one droid have all songs played on a Bandfill, another with all songs played on a Chidink Horn, and so on. I realize that to have all instruments playing at the same time, you would need multiple people using the droids, but I think it will still work.
Hopefully this post makes some sense. I am pretty out of it right now.

Thank you much.
Looks like only one track per module and multiple modules per droid. So, assuming the most modules I can have on a droid is 6, then I will need to pick the 6 songs I want my droid to be able to play.

OK I read the DE thread and am still kinda confused....
Are the recorded "tracks" on the module.....
a) A specific instrument i.e. "Mandoviol" such that the droid, when playing the track will add Mando to the song being played, whatever song that is.
2) A specific song for a predetermined instrumenti.e. the droid module is set for a specific instrument and then the song must be recorded into the module.
III) A combination of the 2 such that a specific song/instrument combo is recorded and is the only thing that the module can play until it is re-recorded.
Just wondering in advance. I'll find out soon enough as soon as I get one.
