Hello, all! Hope you're having a good morning/afternoon/night, I wanted to get y'alls attention for 5 or so minutes because there's an instrument idea I'd like to help add: the Handpan.
What is the Handpan? Put simply, it's a precussion instrument, that's a lot like the Steel Drums we have in Online Sequencer. The only difference is almost everything else. IRL it's a pretty expensive instrument for some, boasting about $1 500 to $3 000 for good models, even more for better top-of-the-line ones. Luckily I got a free one, and I'd like to offer it to you all.
What I have: An MP3 / WAV file duo, of 14 notes, along with a TXT file explaining what this instrument really is, along with what notes are supported currently. As the TXT file says, I am more than happy to provide a forced model that has all 12 notes in an octave and be able to support up to 5 octaves however I cannot provide a forced model that sounds good. As the beginning of the MP3/WAV sample file demonstrates, F6 and E6 are tinny and they don't sound as good as the rest of the sounds.
THERE ARE ONLY 2 INSTRUMENTS IN ONLINE SEQUENCER THAT CAN MANIPULATE THE HANDPAN; however one of them barely fits and the other one is too sharp. Those instruments are, respectively, the Steel Drums and the Concert Harp. No other instruments have anywhere close to the same sound as this one does, which is one reason why I feel it should be allowed in Online Sequencer.
Here are the files that have been provided by me: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1...drive_link
A link to an actual demonstration, provided by YouTube: https://youtu.be/G6Zz8CyfNUU?t=183 - It seems this one is a D Integral. My personal favorite is the Firefly Aura one.
Anyone with this Google Drive link can VIEW, DOWNLOAD and COMMENT on these files, they cannot EDIT them.
Thank you for letting me explain the Handpan in a nutshell for you :D
