@kiwimilkdecaf You can use the VGmusic website to get an arsenal of video game music, and you can use a music editing software that lets you manipulate midis to your liking within the C2 to C4-C5 range.

Ok, this is my favourite mod ever, especially with the Bard Music Binding tool.
Are there plans to extend the amount of notes that can played in-game? Having 4 octaves would already make a big difference to being limited to 3.
Is it possible to shift all the key bindings up or down in the Bard Music Binding tool? My current solution is to shift the notes in the midi itself.
Hello! I was wondering if it's possible to map all the keys on a piano to the Bard Music Binding. Some of my songs require keys that aren’t currently usable in the mod, which is causing issues. Is there a way to enable or expand the music keys to cover the full range of a piano? I'd appreciate any guidance on this!

My GOD this is the coolest thing ever

This causes lifestyle music to not be able to be played.

Too few notes. My midi just doesn't work as it should because more than half the notes don't work when I play.

feedback continued:
- 4 octaves only for all instruments is pretty rough. Would like to see this extended to a full range (MIDI only) for keyboard instruments at least.
- I would LOVE to get some velocity support for the MIDI implementation, even if it is in the simplest form possible i.e. just affecting the volume. This would really unlock the ability to arrange songs specifically for this mod in spite of other limitations, like the octave range, and also to be able to play with proper technique.
