![]() ![]() A quarter note occupies a subdivision/fuzzy line. A whole note occupies the entire part/bar/measure. Yes, there are four "parts" - DE calls them "bars" but they are "measures." Each measure gets four beats (your subdivisions). You aren't grasping the whole note correctly. This means that each measure on the Mandachord would have 16 1/4 notes per measure, and 64 quarter notes total on the Mandachord. Each of those whole notes is divided into 4 parts, the quarter notes. Each of those 4 parts represents a whole note. Each of those sections is divided into 4 parts. I'm talking about each numbered section on the mandachord, of which there are 4. You get 4 sixteenth notes per beat, or a total of 64 sixteenth notes. ![]() You can check this by counting the total number of notes you have to work with: There are 4 beats per measure and 4 measures, for a total of 16 beats. The "fuzzy line" in this case represents the time value of a quarter note, not a whole note. all the beats in the measure), a quarter note takes up 1 beat (1/4 of a whole note), an eighth note takes up 1/2 beat (1/8 of a whole note) and a sixteenth note takes up 1/4 beat (1/16 of a whole note). In 4/4 time, a whole note takes up 4 beats (i.e. You seem to understand the relationship of the notes, but you seem to be confused by the whole note (which then throws off your understanding of the rest of them). 4/4 means there are 16 quarter notes per measure, not that all the notes are 1/16 notes.ġ/16 notes mean that they are 1/16 of a whole note, but if each section is a measure, then there are 4 whole notes per measure, meaning that there would be more than 16 notes per measure. The quarters there are 1/4 notes to the 4 whole notes per measure. I would be happy with just quarter notes since most songs people listen to normally use that.Īssuming that each section was a measure by itself, the fuzzy lines would represent whole notes, and would denote the 4 beats in a measure. Tl dr: I'd love to see the system beefed up, but like the current system well enough. I think it would be better if there was an 'advanced mode' of the editor that allowed you to play with a whole bunch of things to more accurately copy songs or make new compositions, but above that I want to be able to make longer songs. Though, if my pitiful understanding of music is correct, I believe you want to be able to make songs using 8th, quarter, etc notes instead of all of them being in 16th. Unfortunately, I understand that DE wants to keep the mandachord user-friendly and not intimidating to new players and music-noobs(myself included in that one), so there's probably not much that will be changed. Currently, there's a lot of limiting factors to what you can make in the mandachord, and I understand that some things have to remain constant throughout every mandachord composition to prevent mission sounds from falling into discord, but I'd love to see more functionality and ease of composition to be added. Personally, I feel that octavia's mandachord should be fleshed out by, like, lots. ![]()
