New Instrument Request: Concertina (and maybe accordion)
theDerpu opened this issue · 4 comments
Why this instrument should be added:
I play the concertina (in english layout, though this isn't too important, anglo may be similar to the layout ingame), thought it would be really simple since it uses a button layout similar to the look of the one provided in game, then accordion came as a second thought since it's also quite similar, but isn't my cup of tea.
- Interface Type: Grid
Grid dimensions: Default (7x3)
Note layout: Default (C, D, E, F, G, A, B)
- Note theme (RGB): a dark red maybe? something like (100, 25, 50)
Audio Files:
Not sure what format is needed? I can record concertina sounds on my own but not sure how it'll sound on my phone, I have a sound font of an accordion however that may come in handy (and sounds similar to a concertina regardless, and frankly I just use it for all my sheet music of concertina's and no one's spotted otherwise)

Concertina Screenshots from google since they're quite rare ;u;
^ note the button pattern on the 1st and 3rd image, these are quite common and may be a good reference if you go through with it, (1st is anglo, 2nd is english, anglo may fit better for the mod :3)
Thank you so much for your suggestion!
This seems really cool, and I'll definitely be adding this to the instruments idea bank!
Could I just ask you for the source of the soundfont you provided?
I just don't want to have licensing or miscredit issues and such.. :P

It actually very much is possible - I'll just have to do a bunch of sound editing 😅
If you really do want to commit to recording 21 audio tracks, then that would indeed suffice - but let that be a last resort :)
Haha oh yea of course licensing probably would be an issue oops,
I can record some if you can say what I need to record haha, if its just loop sounds (I'm supposing, as its the same sound for attack and release since its just one tone) I can just record an mp3 of me going through each note and then I split them up?
Well, if I will deem the audio quality sufficient enough, I believe that can work out fantastically!
You basically just need to record yourself playing 21 notes - low C to high B.
I'll attach here tmr or so a sound sample of how I recorded the Nightwind Horn from Genshin, just to demonstrate how that's supposed to be done. But the recording itself is generally no longer than about 3 minutes.
Do keep in mind though that I'm in a bit of a break from this project because of burnout and studies and whatnot - so the task of adding an instrument will generally be delayed in the span of a few months, I believe.
Leave the task of splitting and such for me.
And again - thanks!
