What improvements would you like to see with the bard performance mode?

CHORDS, please give us chords, alot of the songs i make have chords, and everytime i have to adjust them to a single melody line to play with

more octaves, yep, i know that we can adjust the songs to play only there, but more could be better tbh

a decent soundfont, the piano sounds soooo bad, the harp sounds more than a piano that the piano itself, the violin better not talking about it...

for musical instruments, i would love a pipe organ, idk how it would be implemented, BUT i need that...
voices, would be cool to be a singer too

Maybe a music sheet function? to write manually all the notes, so it could be played itself (WINK WINK if you know of what im talking about here)

Really just let any class play them since like last time I checked changing into a different job doesn't really change your memory on how to play something, it would also allow players like me who like using certain glams when performing that we just can't do on bard with gear restrictions

The best music system I've seen in a game by far was archage, where you write the notes on a paper, and your character play it, and it was still possible to play 2 notes at the same time (I don't remember if it depending on the instrument).

The only issues were that I needed to have inventory space to carry the music papers, and there was a very short limit on how many notes could be put on these papers, and even if you wrote the music on two pieces of paper, there was a cooldown of a few seconds for that could start the next.

Perhaps with the resolution of these problems and the implementation of this system, we have the resolution for the bard music player. Well-known program and already mentioned in topics around here on the forum.

Ahhh yes... STOP THAT S*** OF FORBIDDING COPYRIGHTED MUSIC, NO ONE HERE IS A COMPOSER.

PS: Has anyone seen me writing that I want old music method deletion? No? So before anyone says they prefer the old one, I never wrote that this one was supposed to be deleted from the game.

Bongo drums.

I'd love it if we had a Pipa instrument somehow. I don't know how to play the others.

More octaves would be great. At least one more higher and one more lower would be a huge improvement. The current range of only three octaves is too few IMO.

More octaves, or lower/higher variants for existing instruments (mainly the piano)

A single "drum kit" instrument with the different percussions (drums, toms, cymbals, etc.) assigned to keys.

and otherwise, just more instruments : harpsichord, pipe/electronic organs, accordion, etc.

Idk if they added it yet, but for instruments that can support it, playing more than one note at a time (within reason)
A bridge to be added to the violin models. edit: nevermind it looks like they added one, I swear to god they used to not exist..
I second the "any job can play once unlocked" as being a brd isn't mechanically significant for what performance is. (Id be ok fir then to make it more significant if they don't want to do that)
sheet music that you can write that auto-plays at the end of a syncing countdown.
And if they wanna do another instrument collaboration like with fender, give me a branded USB midi keyboard that can hook into the game like a controller. :)

Chords
More than 3 octaves
Drum interface not being on the same stupid ass keyboard

I'd like to be able to fully disable particle effects while performing.

Heck I'd like to simply be able to do that, period. It irks me when I'm in first-person perspective and see the particle effects of my mount blocking my view, or the "orbs of sneaking" whizzing in front of my eyes while gathering.

It's... it's just silly in first person view.

I have every setting I can think of turned down for these effects. The bard still shows a rainbow when playing.

Minor. But it irks me.
