Better instruments

[shubla]

Instruments are pretty terrible, devs should just throw away the current system and replace it with MIDI so you could plug some MIDI input thing in your computer and then play music in game. This would allow people to actually play their instruments.

Also add some stationary instruments like piano.

Of course there are a few things to solve, like how to deal with latency etc. But that is for devs to solve, and there are solutions. Other games have done it, why not HnH? It would add a lot of depth to community gatherings etc.

Yes please for the piano. It would be larpy.

There is an ABC tablature method that is basically text form of MIDI. A couple of other games use it. (I know LOTRO is one.) This has been mentioned before in other threads on the matter.

if a group is playing a multi-track midi file, players could choose which track they want to play

so the game client would do the magic and each player would hear the band playing locally, with different instruments

sound performance could be a thing

Yes but midi would still be nice so people could actually play instruments if they have input devices!
Of course one could have ABC in top of that.
