Bard Warframe Speculation, Discussion and Feedback Thread

[ArcaneSnowdrop]

@AM-Bunny ...Well, I can't count, can I! But yes, an entire octave is IMPORTANT.

[Aniawn]

I could see two possible reasons for why they are giving us only twelve notes instead of sixteen.  The first is the UI getting too crowded with so they capped it off at twelve notes.  The second being that they may not want to overwhelm users with too many options.

Maybe what they could do, to avoid overwhelming users, is start with a set amount of notes and as we level up the powers/warframe we unlock additional notes until we reach sixteen notes.  For example, we start with four notes, and with each rank of our fourth, or third, power we unlock an additional three notes.

I had the exact same thought, but upon watching the Pax AUS stream, the working prototype does seem to currently have 16 beats.

EDIT: My request though, is can we PLEASE have at least one whole octave? 

It is indeed 16.

Please explain how it has 16 beats? I know next to nothing about that topic.

Darude Sandstorm of course. Queued with 3 Inaros for maximum immersion.

Here is a better one for Inaros, in a duo with Zephyr.

See how the first column is 16 A's stacked on top of each other? Each A in that column is a beat.

How it works is that yellow line radiates from the middle, and as it reaches each note, that note is played. So the lowest ones will play first, and as the yellow line radiates outwards, each note it touches will be played until it reaches the highest note in the column, which will be the last note.

Sorry if that makes zero sense.

The columns of letters each represent a note at different times in the song that plays on a loop, which begins from the lowest part of the columns and goes up.

The columns are divided in 16 beats. The position you turn the note on determines when it plays in the loop. If you just turn all the beats in a single column you'll just get a single long note lasting 16 beats.

Watching the demonstration at Pax Aus really helps understanding it, if you haven't yet.

Hmm. Does this thing support chords?

I see no reason for it to not support chords.

Ah, I got it, I was confusing the lines with the columns.

But seems to be a shame if we are unable to make a full music, or a choirs at least, I would have liked to make a "Cara Mia Addio"

Yes, you can have multiple notes sound on a given beat. With less than a whole octave to choose from though, your options for harmonization are pretty limited.

Also, at Pax AUS, they mentioned they might limit the maximum notes you can have in a loop to prevent troll-ish players from creating a cacophonous mess by having every note play on every beat.

It looks like it does support chords looking at the first beat of the above image.

Thinking of the note composition of that "song"...this is a distinct possibility.

I'm looking forward to a megathread with everyone creative snippets. My vote on popular songs as the most imitated "sampling".

I know nothing about music but what I really hope we get is a way to draw out the notes into one long note. like holding down a key on a piano.

Your use of quotation marks when referring the most majestic meme ever to be conceived by the internet is... unsettling.

From the demo Steve gave at PAXAus, you will be able to have sustained notes up to fifteen beats long or continuous.

Hmmm 

The sax solo from this

Or the main meoldies from these

Or something video game related

Though they haven't said anything about being able to change the tempo.
