Musician Archive

I'm an aspiring musician on Chilastra and I just thought I'd make a petition-like thread for everyone to "sign" - I think it's just awful that there are instruments that have different names but the same exact sounds! Can't it be a bit more realistic? I've never seen two instruments in real life that look nothing alike, have very different names, and yet sound the same. I think it would be a wonderful improvement if each instrument had a different sound. Ok, so the devs may be a bit too busy to create entirely new sounds. Maybe they could alter the pitch of some instruments so that, for example, the slitherhorn would always play the song an octave higher than the fanfar. That would at least add a bit more depth to the songs and give a real reason to have different instruments. And, for the omni and banfill - they look nothing alike, so why would they sound the same?! I agree with the other thread on this forum - the bass and percussion sounds should be split.

Now, as long as each instrument sounds different, I think the number of instruments is fine, but it would always be a nice addition to implement some new ones every once in a while. And some new songs, for that matter. Just a thought - maybe they could implement some "rare" instruments and songs that can be found as loot, or perhaps you could learn it by completing gig missions or something. I think that once we hit master musician, there should be a way to continue learning new songs, even if it's just a couple of them over a long period of time. There is no point in time when a real musician learns every song and instrument there is and can't find anything new! All of this goes for dancers too - there should be additional dances to learn after master. Maybe there could be certain dances/songs/instruments that are culturally unique to certain planets? Bla bla bla, I'm just spitting out some ideas here - lemme know what you guys think.

I'd love for this to happen as well; do I think it will? No Here's to hoping though:

/sign, although nothing will come of it.

Actually, they don't even really need seperate sounds for each instrument... just make the flourishes different. Do something!

Seems like it wouldn't be too too hard, to add a few sound samples for different instruments. Adding new songs would be great, but would require a lot more architecture changes. But different sounds for different instruments should be simple codewise.

I sign too.

though i know this may be a bit to ask, with more people wanted to form real bands in the game. We should down the line be able to choose basic things to spice up any song. Adjust the bass tempo, adjust the drum tempo, the horn or string tempo and pitch and 'riff' design kind of thing. I think playing music out to be more customizable. It would make it more entertaining for listeners as well as the musicians.

Even though I haven't played a instrument other then a slitherhorn, I have heard the other instruments and understand what your saying I'm working my way up to be novice musician ( Only been musician for 3 days ) so, even though I don't think this will happen; I hope the dev's can pay attention to this petition.
