Suggestion To Add More Notes to Octavia's Mandachord

[Twisted_Haven]

Just wanna start a suggestion of adding just a few more notes to the mandachord which would help make generating enjoyable songs less of a chore. As Octavia's name pretty much originates from the word octave which means a series of eight notes (do re mi fa so la de do) yet both the resonator(harmonics) and metronome(melodies) only have 5 notes I think it would just be more fitting to have a full octave to work with in the mandachord for both the resonator and metronome sections.

Regarding the name:
While an Octave did originally mean a span of 8 notes on the diatonic scale, the term is also generalised into any interval that doubles (or halves) the frequency. The 5 notes we have now on the mandachord also spans a full Octave in the pentatonic. If indeed we wanted to be fully flexible with our compositions, we would be asking for the ability to play the chromatic scale, which contains 12 notes per octave.

This was mentioned in the devstream that introduced her, that limiting the key and notes available helps keep two or more Octavia stay in tune with each other. This along with the relative ease of staying in harmony in the pentatonic scale to minimise noise-griefing. I see that it could be limiting, but considering these other factors, the current decision is a good compromise.
