The Orchestrion appears to use this second channel to function, due to it not needing to be used for battle music inside an Inn Room/FC House/Personal House/Apartment or Personal Chambers (because there is no battle in there), but of course that channel is required for battle themes and other special music outside housing, meaning Orchestrion cannot be used.

So as much as I agree with you and would love to see some kind of personal Orchestrion playing out in the field, sadly SE have ruled out it categorically as not possible I'm afraid.
Has something changed though?

I mean, mounts have their own music which activates/plays when we summon them and overrides the 'area' music - couldn't the same process be applied to a portable orchestrion, even if in a limited sense?
