Orchestrion Feedback

[Ecks007]

I am not a fan of how if you are facing a certain way the music lessens in sound. Maybe it's suppose to have a surround sound feel, I don't know. I only hear well out of my right ear so I notice when the sound is distinctively lowered and that happens with the Orchestrion while indoors. I don't like this at all.

I should be able to hear full audio like BGM just like I do on any map instead of having my sound quality dropped just because my character is facing a certain way. I hope this gets fixed.

I appreciate Director Soken taking the time to give us an explanation.
I wonder too, if part of the problem is that the sound is altered for everyone in the room/house. With mounts for example, only you get to hear the music.

Of course, all we can do is speculate. I think it says something about the quality of the game in general that we all assumed this was an artistic choice and not a compromise on quality due to limitations.
If the sound could be improved at the cost of making us wait a little between changing tracks, I'd be happy with that. However, I appreciate it might not be that simple.
Nice to know this is being worked on.

The following additions and adjustments have been made to the orchestrion:

The volume, directional quality, and auditory range of orchestion rolls has been adjusted.
New orchestion rolls have been added.

Thank you for the change! Also:

The Leader of the Band III Add 50 unique music rolls to your orchestrion.

Goodbye life, time to bitch about RNG.

I just wanted to say a big "thank you" for the improvements to the orchestrion in this latest patch. Some of the orchestrion songs are a little quiet compared to others (I have this complaint about some of the mount songs as well, like the black and gold magitek mounts which I struggle to hear while moving compared to other mount music), but overall things are sounding a whole lot better now.

Yes, thank you very much. It's a huge improvement.
