Mandascore: Mandachord loop viewer and editor

[Buff00n 4,448]

https://buff0000n.github.io/mandascore/

 

 

I built this app mainly to provide an easier way to let people copy songs from my stupidly big Mandachord library:

But it's also a full featured editor, letting you try out instruments, build Mandachord loops, and share them with links, song codes, or generate images.

 

At some point I'm going to try to add my Mandachord library to the app itself, but for now there's a direct link under each of my videos.

Updates:

v1.0.3: 2020-12-27:

• Fixed the volume encoding (thanks HZDeluxe)

Update v2.0.0: 2021-02-03:

• I added a playlist function to Mandascore for no reason

Update 2.1.0: 2021-02-15

• Added my entire mandachord song library and a search function to the Mandascore app. 

Update 2.2.0: 2020-02-23

• Added the Bombast instrument set.  This was actually pretty complicated.  Bombast is the first instrument set that's monophonic: only one melody note will play at a time.  The bass does the same thing but it's less noticeable.

Update 2.2.1: 2020-03-05

• Added color coded tag displays to the library list for filled, sparse, perfect, multiple shots, and instrument sets.

Update 2.3.0: 2020-03-11

• Oh man there's a full per-track mixer on this thing now.

v2.3.4: 2021-03-19

• Re-recording Bombast for melody sound change on the low D, also adding support for multiple samples for each sound, like it does in-game, and re-recording Bombast and Adau in full. I'll do the other instrument sets at some point.

That's really cool as trying to follow a vid can be a pain with having to pause; add the markers, play a bit, pause...

 

Having it as a regular music note chart is far easier so thank you.

Awesome stuff!  Thanks for posting.  Is there a link anywhere to that MIDI config video you have on YouTube?

Do you mean the Shawzin one?

Now that I have the chat link format entirely figured out, it would be nice if pasting Mandachord chat links back into in-game the chat window worked again.

Update 2.1.0: 2021-02-15

Over the weekend I added my entire mandachord song library and a search function to the Mandascore app.  I'm curious how well it works on various browsers/devices.

I'll have a video up about it as soon as I'm not in the middle of a winter apocalypse.

Is there a way you can filter down the results to show songs that only use one "pack"?

Yeah, just enter the name of the pack in the search bar

edit: It's not perfect, like if you search for 'gamma' it will show songs using only the Gamma pack and songs that have "gamma" in the title.

I also coded up a tag pass through my library and fixed quite a few tags.  They're not fixed in the thread, yet, though.

Is there a way to copy songs from mandascore into the game easier? So I need to copy note by note?

Nope. 

You used to be able to take a mandachord "song code" and past it back into chat and get a link back, but that hasn't worked in a couple of years.

tbf buff's site is super handy as the older method they had to use was YouTube uploads that, if you weren't pausing each turn of the mandachord- was easy to miss notes. This way we can easily see how each segment is populated and thus a more accurate copy of the posted version :)

Is it me or does Octavia Prime's mandachord seem larger? I borrowed your Chocobo theme for Octavia and it was so funny grabbing Nocturne whilst grooving to it heh but it looked on Octavia Prime as if the notes had been spread wider apart... Just curious if it is or I am seeing things :P

I think you're seeing things.  There have been a few subtle changes to the Mandachord UI over the years, but it's the same screen on both Octavia and Octavia prime.

ahh thank you for clarifying it's just me at least I know there is no change :)
