Load and play your note grid.

• Determine the timbre of the music box according to the block below:
  • Similar to the original note block, and can be used with other mods that add timbre to the note block( e.g. Instrument ++).
  • When the block is a sound box, it will play according to its timbre.
• Use the awl to adjust the playing speed of the music box:
  • The unit is tick/beat, which is the number of ticks consumed per beat.
  • The speed range is: [1, 20].
  • The default speed is 10 ticks/beat.
• Without note grid:
  • Use a note grid to insert it into the music box.
  • Use a hopper to insert the note grid into the music box, and items outside the note grid will be blocked in the hopper.
• With note grid:
  • Press Shift and use with empty hand to take out the note grid.
  • Digging or using the music box will play one beat.
  • When activated by a redstone signal:
    • Play the note grid at the set speed.
    • Using a comparator will output a redstone signal of [1, 15] strength:
      • Strength 1: not played yet or no notes in this beat.
      • Strength n (1<n<15): the index of the lowest note in this beat (starting from zero) is n-2.
      • Strength 15: the index of the lowest note in this beat (starting from zero) is greater than or equal to 13.
  • When not activated by a redstone signal:
    • You can use the hopper to suck out the note grid.
    • Use the note grid or book and quill on the music box to superimpose its content on the current note grid. ( Only available in creative mode)
• When the note grid is finished:
  • If there is a container behind the music box, the note grid will be directly placed in the container.
  • If there is no container, or it cannot be placed in the container, it will be ejected forward.

        • Stop when you encounter reference data that has not been punched, and continue after punching.

A tool for punching or viewing and adjusting the speed of the music box.

An item that listens, records, and plays sound.

• Listen sound:
  • When the sound shard does not record sound, use it to listen to the surrounding sound.
  • When a new sound event is received, it will be displayed in text form.
  • When stopping using, the last sound listened to will be recorded and displayed in text form.
  • Only the sound event will be recorded when listening to sound, not the sound seed.
• Record sound:
  • Sound event:
    • Such as "moo", "baa", etc.
  • Sound seed:
    • Used to determine the specific sound in the sound event. In the same sound event, different seeds will play different sounds.
  • Play sound:
    • When the sound shard records sound, it can play its sound:
      • When the sound seed exists, the same seed will be used every time it is played, and the same sound will be played.
      • When the sound seed does not exist, a random seed will be used every time it is played, and the sound played will be different.
    • Playback interval:
      • The default is 55 ticks.
      • For each level of efficiency enchantment, the interval is reduced by 10 ticks, up to a maximum of 50 ticks.

Load and play sound shards.

• Without sound shard:
  • Use a sound shard with sound to load the sound shard.
  • The note block above will play silently.
• With sound shard:
  • When digging, using, or activating with a redstone signal, play the sound of the sound shard:
    • When the note block above is a note block, it will no longer play.
  • The note block above will play according to the sound of the sound shard.
  • When a lightning rod adjacent to and pointing to this sound box is struck by lightning, the sound seed of the sound shard will be refreshed and fixed.

By writing the content of the book and quill, it can be used as reference data to facilitate the punching of the note.

• Conversion rule:
  • Each beat uses the keys in the Note Block Studio to represent the notes, using "." as the end of the beat.
  • Take "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star" as an example:
    • Numbered musical notation: 1, 1, 5, 5, 6, 6, 5, 0, 4, 4, 3, 3, 2, 2, 1.
    • Book content: r.r.i.i.o.o.i..u.u.y.y.t.t.r.
  • Use the NBS File Export Tool to automatically convert your nbs file into the content of the book and quill:
    • Only supports new version nbs files. If it cannot be loaded, please use the new version of Note Block Studio to upgrade the file format.
    • Custom timbre is not supported, you can convert it to the original timbre first, and then export it.

Here are some results exported using nbs files(collected from the Internet, some of which have been modified).
