Midi & Custom Music
Age of Sail added a custom musical note system and midi playback through the in-game instruments using /playsong. Later 5.x updates expanded the interface with:
- A UI panel to play midi songs.
- Drone key selection for bagpipes.
- Midi channel assignment for band playback.
- A separate audio slider for custom music.
- Improved midi band syncing.
- Fixes for custom music notes interfering with other sounds.
The midi UI panel can be opened from the same instrument interface where you pick in-game tunes.
Place midi files in the following folder so the UI panel can detect them. The in-game UI also shows the exact path for your system:
<WindowsUser>\AppData\LocalLow\Anvil Game Studio\Holdfast NaW\Midis
If your midi music is not playing for other players after checking the file location, instrument selection, custom music volume, and band settings, your account may be VoIP muted. Custom midi playback uses the same moderation channel as voice. To appeal a mute, use the Holdfast: Official Discord appeal channel and include your Steam profile or SteamID plus a short explanation of the issue.
Use these tools with some restraint. They are great for events and roleplay, but they can become noise if they drown out officers, captains, or VoIP.
Etiquette
Good musicians make the round better.
- Stay near the group you are supporting.
- Do not block doors, cannons, ladders, spawn exits, or ship wheels.
- Keep VoIP music and external audio under control.
- In events, follow the organizer's music rules.
- On ships, listen for the Captain before turning the deck into a concert.
