Making Music in Lord of The Rings Online

For curious souls, i am Nan (glen or valley in Elven Quenya) and reside on Laurelin.
Come say hi, pass me some tips, give me all your silver, or just jam with me ;)

A downloadable/printable Word doc (thanks to Amelli/Snowbourn!) HERE (version 0.2.03)

Thanks to everyone who’s contributed, especially Bob_the_Sane,
who compiled the first really nice BIG list in the lotro-europe forums!

If you have any updates/additions/corrections/changes/want credit, email >>
lotro -at- glenneroo -dot- org

Coming soon (from the Devs) hopefully in the June patch:
- “We’re looking at a few different new instruments for very
?? shortly after launch, and drums are on that list.”
- “There are improvements that should be implemented for release,
?? including sustained notes if the key is held down!”
- Synchronized playing (optional)
- The music latency is getting fixed in the first main patch???
- Macro playback/recording? Apparently notes will be shown(?)
?? differently as well, to indicate who is playing and who is macro’ing.

So then, off we go…..

- page break here for printers -

 

Getting started

1. Make sure your class has the music skill and it’s trained. Here’s a list of proficiencies
2. Buy an instrument from your local Bard.
3. Equip your instrument: open your inventory and double-click (or right-click) on it.
4. Press ENTER and type /music (as if you were going to say something)
5. Tada! Instrument in hand, you should now be in play mode!
6. Press keys 1-8 to play notes, using shift and ctrl to go high or low.

Playing with the keyboard (default mapping)

Color key

Notes in colors means, HOLD down the CTRL or SHIFT key while pressing that note:

- notes in this color e.g. 1 -> hold CTRL key while pressing the note i.e. CTRL + 1
- notes in this color e.g. 2 -> hold SHIFT key while pressing the note i.e. SHIFT + 2
- … dots following a note indicate how long to hold the note (hold the key down)
?? NOTE: feature not implemented yet… next patch????

If you’re musically inclined (or wish to convert sheet music easier),
here’s a nice scale from LoTRO Life:

scale

And another scale from Northwoods:

c’?????????????????????????????????????????? –8
b?????????????????????????????????????????? 7
a???????????????????????????????? –6
g?????????????????????????????? 5
f————-4——————————-
e?????????????????? 3
d——-2————————————-
c?????? 1???????????????????????????????????? 8
B———————-7——-8——–(b)7-
A???????????????????????????????????? 6???????? (#)7???????????? (b)6
G—————-5—–(#)6——(b)5——–
F???????????????????????? 4???????? (#)5
E———-3——-4———(b)3————
D???????????? 2???????? (#)3?????????????? (b)2
C?? –1–???? (#)2
B,???????????????? 1

(#)2 means that CTRL + 2 plays C sharp.
(b)2 means that CTRL + 2 plays D flat. (same note as C#)

Note that there is a bit of overlap:
- E => 3 and 4
- B => 7 and 8
- c => 8 and 1

Yes, we have no sharps and flats in the upper octave… yet (here’s hoping).

Another translation of the chart, which (better) shows what notes
correspond to what keys (the C is Middle C) thanks to Neonin

C???????? = 8
B???????? = 7
A???????? = 6
G???????? = 5
F???????? = 4
E???????? = 3
D???????? = 2
C???????? = Shift + 1 OR the key 8 on its own
B???????? = 7
Bb/A# = 7
A???????? = 6
Ab/G# = 6
G???????? = 5
Gb/F# = 5
F???????? = 4
E???????? = 3
Eb/D# = 3
D???????? = 2
Db/C# = 2
C???????? = 1
B???????? = 1

licks, chords and scales

Basic Blues/Rock & Roll Scale in C Major by Neonin
C Section: 1 3 5 6 7 6 5 3 1 3 5 6 7 6 5 3
F Section: 8 6 4 2 3 2 4 6
C Section: 1 3 5 6 7 6 5 3
G Section: 7 5 2 5
F Section: 4 6 8 6
C Section: 1 3 4 5
G Section: 5 5 5 5

Chords to follow this would be:

C Section = (135) <- Brackets mean play all notes together
F Section = (468)
G Section = (257)

You can quite easily play a tune over the top of this using just the keys 1 to 8,
as most of them fit in with any part of the scale, so it makes quite a good
starting point if you get three players together.

Guitar (Lute) Licks by Gallowdor on Laurelin

Nice Lute Accompaniment by Bob_the_Sane
It is great to play while a clarinet or flute is playing a tune over the top.
Try your own variation!

Lute Chords
Try any combination of these chords, pressing the keys all together:
135, 146, 257, 468, 368, 1357
See if you can find any others that fit and sound good.

You can also play that in shift if you want a higher note. The deeper note version
doesnt sound too good though. I imagine if someone played this in standard and
another on top in higher notes it could sound very good…

Beethoven - Hymn to Joy by Keln
Listen to it HERE
All “pairs” denoted by a #+# should be played at the same time, i.e. 1+3
would be played by hitting the 1 and the 3 keys at the same time (yes
while holding shift in this compilation). A simpler version of this song
can be played by simple dropping the first number in each pair and
playing the second. Example, to play a simple version of 1+3, drop the
one and play only the 3. Also, I like to play the final note s1 as s1+3
because it sounds nicer.

Fur Elise by Bob_the_Sane
I’m afraid that Fur Elise is impossible to play properly on LOTRO.
It’s this damn shift + ctrl thing again. However with a bit of trickery
I can make it so there is only one note that is impossible and I have
transposed it up an octave (the note in {these brackets}) so it will
sound rather strange.

Victory by Bob_the_Sane
The keys in brackets should be played very fast, semiquavers if you are a musician.
Due to the amount of ctrls in this I think it would be pretty hard to play, I
haven’t checked ingame I just wrote it straight off the sheet music. - Bob

8 and 1, for all purposes, are the same note, just an octave seperated.
For notes below the root of the song, I’ll use dashes to indicate they
are in the lower octave. Maybe someone musically inclined can translate
it to something undersdtandable ingame.

Only the first few notes, but I would love it if someone takes this
start and runs with it, only sure about the first line, the second

a bit off to me

Keyboard Mapping by Doriando

ALL the main notes on one single row and all the half notes on the exact
positions between the main notes, just like real black pianokeys.

Only problem is that you sometimes cannot press 3 notes at the same time
due to keyboard restrictions (YI] doesn’t register for example), but who cares hehe.

Playing with a Wiimote by glenneroo

1. Get a Wiimote (and optionally Nunchuck)

3. VERY CAREFULLY follow the instructions on this page to install the WIDCOMM drivers.
???? Don’t forget the step about rebooting into SAFE MODE!
4. Follow the tutorial on this page: http://crustea.vjfrance.com/article-130714.html
???? !!! DONT INSTALL BLUE SOLEIL ON VISTA, IT DOESN’T WORK (YET - as of 2007/5/16)
5. Double-click Bluetooth Devices icon in lower right corner (white B on blue circle)
???? - In Devices, click Add.
???? - Press 1 and 2 buttons simultaneously on Wiimote, blue leds should all blink repeatedly.
???? - Click Next, wait for scan to find your Wiimote…
???? - No passkey needed. Next.
???? - It should now show under Peripherals (keyboards, mice, joysticks)
???????? your Nintendo RVL-CNT-01 device as Connected (No passkey).
???? - Ok. (closes window)

All Windows Versions:??
6. Right-click, Save Target/Link As… on this: LoTRO.PIE (version 0.10)
7. Start GlovePIE, load the LoTRO.PIE script and click RUN.
8. Optional: Open notepad and press keys on the Wiimote to make sure it’s sending the keys…
???? If NOT, check to make sure the connection is made.
???? Vista: “Bluetooth Devices” in lower right
???? XP?? : Blue Soleil (double-click device, wait, click mouse up top, wait,
???? should start periodically sending blue blobs to the sun)
9. Start Lord of the Rings Online, equip your instrument, and get jiggy with your Wiimote!

Wiimote mapping to notes:

1: Trigger button (B) - BONUS: RUMBLES WHEN PRESSED!*?? :D
2: minus (-)
3: plus (+)
4: directional LEFT
5: directional UP
6: directional RIGHT
7: directional DOWN
8: Clear thumb button (A)

* to disable Rumble on pressing B, in GlovePIE when script is loaded
?? simply type // at the start of the line that says Wiimote.Rumble = …

Nunchuck mapping:

Holding big trigger button (Z) is like holding CTRL
Holding small trigger button (C) is like holding SHIFT

Here’s a (overly long) video showing the Wiimote in action:
(skip to about 3 mins in to see anything worthwhile, sorry too lazy to cut it ;)
(this was one of my worst jam sessions evar! sorry about that ;)
