Musical Instruments and K.K. Songs

Oh man, this is SO hard! I am very good with rhythm in general (used to drum, still play rhythm games) and this really takes some getting used to because sometimes it mixes up your beat and it's hard not to let that throw you off... But I can't deny that this definitely can't be random notes! Behold, my attempt on drums


holy crap that is impressive! I could never do that, my rhythm would be way off! Kudos!! (will login on twitter just to like it!)
 
yes, maybe that's why I rarely use the bass in the game for playing along K.K. Songs because it's more difficult to hear it.
Well, not just that, but the bass also doesn't function right... The bass is meant to be, well, the bass, but the instruments will always harmonize with whatever chord or implied chord is currently happening in the song. That means that, if you're playing the bass along with a song that already has a low bass part, your notes might not match the actual bass note in the song, and chords at that low frequency can sound muddy and harder to distinguish.

The bass might work better in songs that don't really have a prominent bass part, like K.K. Lullaby or something.

Thank you so much! I would totally have given up on playing along to these tracks if you hadn't said it's possible... Now I just need to start collecting all those other KK songs, I'll start on that right away 👀

This is going to keep me occupied for a while...
 
Oh, and another thing! If you're playing together with someone else, the notes you play are not always the same notes your friend will hear on their end. The rhythms will be the same (albeit a bit delayed), but it's like their version of the game randomizes the notes individually.

I'm glad I contributed to that! That was the whole point of me making videos so that it'd be easier to prove and spread. Enjoy :D:D

That is interesting, and good to know. I didn't really try playing with other people yet!
My aim now though, is trying to play and somehow being lucky and pulling a villager into singing along!

Well, feel free to share the drums as well if you ever need further proof. ^^

I did notice that the delay between pressing the button and hearing the instrument can get really bad on other player islands, unfortunately... That would make it even harder to play along. I definitely recommend putting a radio near Resident Services though, that seems to be the best way to get yourself a singer!

We should try a collab one of these days! :D Even if it lags. Something simple. One with the melody on keys or guitar and other on tambourine.

Haha, I'm definitely willing to try that! Hang on, let me start a conversation real quick...
 
Even a couple of my villagers tried playing instruments along with the music. I've only had it happen with Gruff and Rocco playing the recycled-can thumb piano and their synchronization of strumming the notes with the music is perfect.

One day the planets will align and Lucky will join me while I play Mr.K.K on the guitar.
 
I have older recordings (the quality is not as good as the first youtube videos) maybe you guys will enjoy!
This is K.K. Steppe:

 
Saw this thread this morning and wanted to try it out myself. Marshal decided to come annd help me practice hahaha
(don't mind the off-key playing on my part XD still getting the hang of this new power

 
I did not know that! Will place a radio near my musical instruments area now for sure

That is a great start :) I advise at first to try with slower songs! :) that one is super hard, I haven’t even tried it myself xD
 
I'm still trying.... I think I'm tone def or something. Can't get the timing at all.

I believe it may be easier to some people, yes. have you tried picking up a slow song, and just try a note every 2 ou 4 seconds? It helps to memorize the song. You can always revert to the video I shared in the beginning of this thread, I hope it helps.
