What is this?
This is an app for viewing and editing Mandachord songs.
The main motivation was to provide a way to be able to copy my songs into the game without having to
pause a video. But while I was at it I went ahead and made it a full blown editor.
Mandachord song codes?
There actually is a Mandachord song code format. If you link a song in chat, and then look at your
EE.log file after quitting Warframe, then you will see something like this:
[SONG-Best Song Ever:AADDnwAAEggAAIggAEGBAJCAAABIAAAYAAgFwAECkCAgiAAAKEEACYAhAoAAAAgAAQgICCHAgQCQAEEIAABIQgAJgCEEgAAASAAIGAAABYAAIYAIIQgAAEgCBEGAABCAAAAIAAEIAAhBwgEAkA==:BardCorpusPackA:BardGrineerPackA:BardCorpusPackB]
You used to be able to paste this back into the in-game chat window and get a song link back, but
unfortunately that hasn't worked in a couple of years. Still, it's as good a format as any, so that's
what this editor is using.
I have a program for extracting song codes from your EE.log file, if you're comfortable with
running python: songparse.
Table of Contents
Getting Started
If you came here from a song link then it should already be displayed.
If you have a song code then paste it in the Song Code text box and hit enter.
Basic Editing
If you're familiar with the in-game Mandachord editor then you already know how most of this works.
Title
Enter the title of the song here. The in-game restrictions on Mandachord song titles are pretty
severe, but the only thing being restricted here is a 24 character limit
Instruments
You can adjust the settings here for each section individually: Percussion, Bass, and Melody.
Instrument Set
Use the dropdown to choose one of the nine instrument sets.
Volume
Use the slider to adjust the volume. Full volume is all the way to thr right, zero volume is all the
way to the left.
Isolation
Use the checkboxes on the right to turn particular sections on and off.
Note that the isolation settings are not part of the song code and don't get saved.
Notes
The rest of the screen is dedicated to the note grid. This is laid out just like the Mandachord
screen, except as a rectangle instead of a disc.
The top three rows are percussion, the next five are bass, and the bottom five are melody. Time
ordering goes from left to right.
Click a location in the grid to turn a note on, or click a location with an existing note to turn that
note off. You can also click and drag across an area to create multiple notes next to each other.
The score is broken out into four measures. Each measure has a maximum number of notes that can be
present in each section:
- Percussion: 24 notes per measure
- Bass: 16 notes per measure
- Melody: 16 notes per measure
Exceeding the note limit on a section of a measure will play a small warning sound.
If your screen is wide enough then all four measures will be displayed in a single row.
If your screen is not wide enough for that, then there will be two rows of two.
If your screen is not wide enough for that the four measures will be arranged vertically.
Advanced Editing
Clear
Clear Measure
Above each measure is a
Clear button. This can be used to clear part or all of the
measure. Clicking this will bring up a menu:
- All: Use this to completely clear the measure
- Percussion: Use this to clear just the Percussion section of the measure
- Bass: Use this to clear just the Bass section of the measure
- Melody: Use this to clear just the Melody section of the measure
Clear Song
Above the Song Title bar is another
Clear button. This allows you to clear notes from all four measures. It has the same
options as the per-measure Clear button: All,
Percussion, Bass, or Melody.
Copy/Paste
Copy/Paste Measure
Above each measure is a
Copy button. This can be used to copy part or all of the
measure, allowing it to be pasted to a different measure. Clicking this button
will bring up the usual section options: All, Percussion,
Bass, or Melody.
Once a copy selection is made in one measure, the
Paste
buttons are enabled on the
other three measures. Clicking the Paste button will copy the selected section from
the copied measure into that measure, overwriting any existing notes in that section.
Copy/Paste song
Above the Song Title bar is another set of
Copy and
Paste buttons. This allows you to copy and paste notes from all four measures.
This is mainly useful when editing a playlist. It allows you to copy all or part of a song into
another playlist entry.
Only one thing can be copied at a time, either part of a measure or part of the
whole song
Copy/Paste between Melody and Bass
If just a melody or a bass section has been copied, then holding the Shift key
down while clicking the
Paste button will bring up another section menu, containing just
Bass or Melody. Select the section to paste into.
This allows you to copy a melody to a bass, or vice-verse. This works with both a single measure and
the whole song.
Click the song-level
Copy button and choose
Performance to copy the instrument pack and volume settings for the current song.
Clicking
Paste on another song in the playlist will paste those settings into that song.
Undo/Redo
Undo and Redo is available using either the
Undo and
Redo buttons
above the Song Title bar, or by using Ctrl-Z for undo and
Ctrl-Shift-Z or Ctrl-Y for redo.
All actions can be undone, including note changes, section setting changes, title changes, paste,
clear, loading a song from the library, and all edits made to the playlist.
Playback
Use the
Play
buttons to start and stop playback on either all or part of the song.
Playback will loop back to the beginning until stopped.
Just like in game, the current playback location is marked with a vertical line, and individual notes
will have a small visual bounce as they are played.
Pressing Space during playback will pause at its current location. Pressing
Space again will resume playback where it left off.
Pressing Shift-Space or holding Shift and clicking
Play during playback or while playback is paused will restart playback at the
beginning of the song or measure.
Pressing the same
Stop button while playing will stop playback and clear the current
playback location.
Note: The sounds themselves were recorded in-game. I hope this is okay.
Play Song
Click the
Play button above the Song Title bar to play the entire
song. Playback will go through all four measures before looping back to the beginning.
Play Measure
Click the
Play button above a measure to play just that measure in a loop.
Clicking the
Play button above a different measure, or clicking the whole song
Play button, will immediately stop the current playback and start a fresh playback
on the clicked measure or song.
Play Cursor
Click on the ruler bar above the note section to move the playback cursor to that location. This
works even when playback is in progress.
Click on the ruler bar or the cursor itself and drag to move the playback cursor across the song
while playing any notes under the cursor. It's both fun and pointless.
Saving
There are three ways to save your song for later: by code, by URL, or by generating an image.
Song Code
To save your song by code, simply copy the code out of the Song Code bar at the top
of the page. This Song Code is automatically updated as changes are made to the song.
To restore a song from a code, open this page again and paste the song code into the
Song Code bar.
Unfortunately, that's all you can currently do with a song code. You used
to be able to paste the song code into the in-game chat window and get a song link back, but that
hasn't worked in years.
Share URL
If you want a shareable URL that goes directly to your song, click the
Link
button at the top of the page. Copy this, and paste it into a browser to bring up this page
auto-populated with your song.
Export to PNG
If you want an image, then click the
Generate PNG button at the top of the page.
This will bring up a link to download your song as a PNG, including section settings and all four
measures.
Note that you cannot re-import a PNG to edit it again. You should also save your
song as either a Song Code or URL so you can come back to it later.
Export to WAV
If you want an audio file, then click the
Generate WAV button at the top of the page.
This will export the song loop, or the entire playlist if you have one open, to an uncompressed
WAV file.
While the WAV file is rendering, clicking anywhere outside the progress box will close it and cancel
the process.
Note that this can take a long time. You will be able to watch the progress as it
renders the WAV file.
Note that this does not work in all browsers. Nothing I can really do
about it. There is full support in Chrome and Edge, partial support in Firefox, and no support in Safari.
Autosave
As you are editing, your song will automatically be saved to your browser's location bar. If you use
the browser's forward/back buttons, intentionally or accidentally, then reversing that back to this
page should resume where you left off.
Note: Updates take a second or two to appear in the location bar.
Library
Click the Library button to enable the library. This contains a demo for each
instrument set, along with every Mandachord request I've done.
There are thousands of songs and it's all loaded into your browser. I'm
not sure how well this works on devices with limited memory.
Searching the library
By default the entire library is listed. Songs are categorized by my completely arbitrary
classification system.
The bar at the top is a search bar. Enter one or more keywords to narrow down the listing. The keyword
can be a category, a title, an artist, or one of a couple of tags:
- perfect: Matches melodies that translate perfectly onto the Mandachord
- filled: Matches melodies that have no space between notes
- sparse: Matches melodies that have a lot of space between notes
- double, triple, etc: Matches
songs that I did more than one Mandachord loop for
- adau, alpha,
druk, etc: Matches songs that only use one instrument
set
Multiple keywords can be entered. Only songs that match all the keywords will be shown.
Keywords must be three characters or longer before they will be searched
Loading a song
Click on a song entry to load it into the Mandascore editor. If the editor is currently playing
then playback will be reset to the beginning.
If the selected song has more than one Mandachord loop then the Playlist will be
temporarily enabled, and playback will go through all the loops.
Building a playist
By default, clicking a song in the library will replace the song currently in the Mandacore. If the
previously selected library song had multiple Mandachord loops then the playlist will be cleared for
the new song.
Enable the playlist by clicking the Playlist button, making sure it's lit up.
This will keep the playlist up and append songs as they are selected.
Reverse Searching the library
Clicking the
Reverse Search button above the library will kick off a reverse search. This
searches the entire library for songs matching the one currently in the editor.
The reverse search will only take into account sections in the editor that have notes in them.
If the Percussion, Bass, or Melody section is left
blank then the that section will be ignored while searching library songs.
I highly recommend limiting the search to one section
The reverse search will return an ordered list of results, with the closest match at the top of the
list. Each match has a "closeness" number in blue, where
60.00 is a perfect match for all three sections and partial matches
have lower closeness numbers.
Note: The reverse search is still a work in progress and it's tuned pretty
arbitrarily for how I search.
Playlist
The playlist feature allows you to queue up a sequence of song loops to play one after the other.
Enable the playlist by clicking the Playlist button in the top bar.
This is purely for my own amusement, use it if you want.
Adding a song
If the playlist is empty, then clicking the
Add button will add the current contents of the song editor as a new
song in the playlist.
Editing the playlist
Selecting a song
Click on a title in the playlist to select that song and display it in the song editor. Any changes
will be saved to the selected playlist entry.
You can also use the Up and Down arrow keys to move between playlist
items.
Highlighting multiple songs
When a single song is selected, click the
highlight button beside another song entry above or below it to highlight a contiguous block of songs.
Currently highlighted songs will be marked with
.
Only one song can be selected and displayed in the song editor, but any number of songs above or below
the selected song can be highlighted.
Click another
or
button to change where the highlight stops.
Selecting a new song will clear the highlight.
Holding the Shift key while selecting another entry in the playlist does the same thing
as clicking the
highlight button. It will highlight the block of entries instead of selecting that entry.
Copying songs
When a song is selected in the playlist use the
Add button to make a copy of this song. It will be inserted directly after the
selection and automatically selected.
If there are highlighted songs in addition to the selected song, then the entire block of songs will
be copied and placed after the last highlighted song.
Moving songs
Click and hold the
move button beside a song to drag that song to a new location.
You can move any song, whether it's selected or not.
If there is a block of songs highlighted, then clicking an dragging the
move button beside any highlighted song will move the entire block.
If there are enough songs to scroll out of the playlist window, then dragging near the edge will
automatically scroll.
Deleting a song
Click the
delete button beside a song to remove that entry from the playlist.
If the currently selected song is deleted then the next song will be automatically selected.
Playing the playlist
By default playlist looping is enabled. This means that if you play the full song then it will
automatically advance to the next entry in the playlist at the end of measure four.
The playlist will not advance when playing a single measure.
Click the
Disable button above the playlist to disable it. While disabled the song will not
advance to the next playlist entry after measure four; it will stay on the same song. Click the same
Enable button to re-enable it.
Saving the playlist
There are two options for saving/loading a playlist.
Copy/Paste
Click the
Copy/Paste button to bring up a text area containing the song codes for every song in
the playlist. You can copy this and save it wherever you want.
You can also paste a new song list into this text area. This will replace the current playlist, if any.
Playlist URL
Click the
Link button above the paylist to generate a shareable URL with the
entire playlist embedded in it. Opening the URL will open Mandascore and restore the playlist.
I'm compressing it, but this URL can still be very large.
Autosave
As you are editing, your playlist will automatically be saved to your browser's location bar. If you
use the browser's forward/back buttons, intentionally or accidentally, then reversing that back to this
page should resume mostly where you left off.
Note: Updates take a second or two to appear in the location bar.
Mixer
The mixer feature allows you to control the volume of and toggle individual note tracks.
Changes made in the mixer apply to every song in a playlist. Copy/pasting a playlist or
generating a playlist link will include the mixer settings, if any.
Mixer Volumes
The volume sliders in the mixer section allow control over a section's volume or an individual note
track within that section.
The master volume controls overal output volume, on top of section and track volumes.
Each section's main volume controls output volume for all tracks in the section. Adjusting the section
volume will lock all the note track volumes to the same value.
Adjusting a note track volume will only affect that note track. The section volume will show the
average of the note track volumes, but it's just for show.
Note: The section mixer volume is separate from the volume in the song info.
The song info volume applies only to that song loop, and is saved along with it. But the section mixer
volume applies to every song loop and is not saved as part of any song.
Mixer Toggles
The toggle buttons in the mixer sections allow control over whether a section or an individual note
track is enabled
Toggling a section on or off will apply the same setting to all of that section's note tracks.
Toggling a note track will only affect that note track.
If all of a section's note tracks are disabled then the section itself is automatiacally disabled, and
if one of a section's note tracks is enabled then that section is automatically enabled.
Note that the setion toggle under the mixer is exactly the same as the section toggle in the song info,
and changes made to one will be reflected in the other.
Reset Mixer
Clicking the
Reset button Will revert the mixer to having all note tracks enabled at full volume.
Instrument Set Notes
Adau
The default instrument is ironically one of the hardest to work with.
The percussion is different from all the other instrument sets. It's a low drum, a
double-drum, and a high drum. The double-drum is unique: a single note actually plays twice, a
sixteenth note apart. Putting a series of middle-drum notes one grid square apart will play a
continuous drum roll.
I've found the best way to work with Adau percussion is to use the high and low drums as the basis
of the rhythm, and the middle double-drum supporting the other two as a lead-in or filler.
The bass is the only bass in the current instrument set lineup that's pitched high and
clear enough to do chords. That's usually how I use it. Unfortunately, because it's pitched so high,
and because I'm usually doubling up with chords, it tends to drown out most melodies. For that reason
I usually back the volume off a bit.
The melody is very, very mushy. Single notes are very hard to distinguish a clear
start time. Fast notes just blend together.
The one place where the Adau melody shines is emulating long-held notes. Because of the mushiness,
repeating a note every grid space will blend together into a single, long note. Adau is the only
melody that can do this well. You can also quickly alternate between 2-3 notes and get a similar
effect as a long-held chord.
Alpha
The Alpha instrument set is 100% Techno.
The percussion has a very distinctive 80's techno bass drum, but it should be used
sparingly unless you're going for an obnoxious "hard-bass" style. The snare is a relatively
high-pitched whip-crack snare, also best used sparingly. The hi-hat is one of the strongest in the
line-up, but not overwhelming.
I've found the best way to use the Alpha percussion is to keep it simple with the bass and snare, and
save the creativity for the hi-hat.
The bass notes take about half a measure to play out and aren't very strong. This is
more of a atmospheric bass than something you can make a recognizable bass line out of.
The melody is one of the best overall melodies in the line-up. Each note takes about
2-3 grid spaces to play out, so it's not great for fast melodies. Otherwise it's very strong and
clear. I use it a lot for mid-range, slower melodies that I want to be recognizable.
Beta
Beta is one of the more low-key instrument sets.
The percussion bass and hi-hat are relatively gentle. I tend to use them if the song
I'm trying to adapt doesn't have percussion at all. The snare, on the other hand, is pretty aggressive.
In some of my longer videos I use the Beta snare in place of a crash cymbal.
The bass is very low, almost sub-audible. You feel it more than you hear it. You can
do a pretty chill bass line with it, but people aren't really going to be able to recognize it as
anything. It's also pretty good at doing a long-held bass note if you repeat it.
The melody kind of suffers from the out-of-tune sound, but it's pretty short not
counting the echo. It's a decent choice for fast melodies, and the echo can fill in slower ones.
This is my default substitute melody for Piano.
Bombast
This instrument set comes with Octavia Prime. This might be a problem after Octavia Prime is vaulted,
but for now I plan on using it.
The percussion might replace Gamma as my go-to Hip Hop percussion. A strong bump
bass, a sharp clap for a snare, and a clear hi-hat.
The bass is excellent. It's low like Beta, but shorter and stronger.
It blends together very nicely when played fast. I can do a lot with this bass.
The melody is unlike anything else in the Mandachord lineop. It's your classic West
Coast hip hop lead. There are built-in bends that make it awkward, especially on the lower two. It's
pretty niche, but it's good for making anything sound like it's backing Snoop Dogg.
Both the melody and the bass are monophonic. They literally won't do chords; if you put multiple notes
at the same time then only the highest one will play. This is very noticeable with the melody, it
would be a mess without it, but the bass does this as well.
Delta
Delta is kind of an oddball. I use its percussion a lot, but I almost never touch its bass or melody.
The percussion has a strong, short snare that I use a lot for drum and bass and a
couple of EDM styles. The bass and hi-hat fit well but aren't anything special, I mostly use this
for the snare.
The bass is both very disinctive and hard to deal with. The main sound is delayed
enough that you have to place it a grid square ahead of when you want it to actually play. When it
plays its sound cuts through everything, you usually have to knock the volume back to hear anything
else.
I just never end up using this bass. You need a really good sound match before it makes sense over any
of the other bass options.
Like the Bombast bass, the Delta bass is monophonic, but it's hard
to tell sometimes.
The melody. Personally, I've never heard the Delta melody used in-game in any way
other than to be as obnoxious as possible.
Like the Bombast melody, the Delta melody is monophonic.
It is possible to make something interesting and okay to listen to. But you have to spend a lot of
time playing with the five notes and seeing how they can blend together. They all sound very different,
and bear only a passing resemblance to the scale note they represent. The bottom four take almost
half a measure to play out, but the top note is faster can get away with being played quicker.
Druk
Druk is heavy metal all the way
The percussion is very strong and loud. Since you can't vary the volume it comes
off a little too strong if you really hammer on it like a heavy metal drummer, but it's not usually
a problem. For any music with a live drummer it's usually either Druk or Plogg, depending on
how heavy it is.
The bass is my favorite bass in the line-up. It's clear and short. You can build
a huge variety of complicated bass lines. It cuts through battle noise very well in game. Sometimes
if you've got a very busy bass against a weaker melody you'll want to cut the volume a bit.
This is easily my most used bass.
The melody is kind of mushy, and also an octave below most of the other melodies in
the line-up. If I try and do a busy melody line with this then I'll always double it up on the bass
to give it more definition.
I have a pretty hard time hearing the Druk melody when I'm in mission, so I usually keep it simple.
Epsilon
Epsilon is EDM with a more Eurobeat-feel to it.
The percussion has among the longest snare and hi-hat sounds, good for filling a
lot of space or cutting through other sounds. The bass drum is low and long as well, but my reasons
for using Epsilon percussion are mostly for the snare and hi-hat.
The bass is hard to work with because it's a dual sound. First a low note, then one
grid square later a higher, clearer note. I find this works best when you place it a grid square
before where you want it to sound. The higher part also tends to overshadow some melodies, making it
even tougher to use effectively.
The bass is kind of monophonic, within each tone. If you play two instances
of the same tone quickly one right after another then the first one will stop playing when the second
one starts. However, you can play two different bass tones simultaneously.
The melody is an octave or more above all the other melodies in the line-up. It takes
a whole quarter note to fully play out, but it doesn't get mushy with faster melodies.
This is my go-to choice for high-pithed melodies, including high strings.
Gamma
Gamma is mainly for hip-hop, but the melody is extremely versatile.
The percussion is my go-to for any rap or hip-hip. It has a very strong hi-hat, and
a high pitched snare that's almost like a hand-clap. The bass drum is pretty standard but fits
with the theme.
The bass is a low brass note that takes about a quarter-note to play out. You can't
do fast bass-lines, but you can fill space with it. Most of the time, if I'm doing hip-hop then I end
up doubling up the base on the bass drum rhythm.
The melody is my go-to melody for anything fast-paced. Aside from a little but of
de-tuning, it's short and clear and great for just about anything with a lot of sixteenth notes.
It's a toss-up whether Gamma or Alpha is my most used melody.
Horos
Horos is the community-voted "EDM" pack which... I mean, half the instrument sets in the
line-up qualify as "EDM". The community is dumb sometimes, but it's a good instrument set.
The percussion bass drum and snare make a solid club beat. I find myself just doing
bass drum on the beast and snare every other beat a lot with this instrument set. The only unfortunate
thing is the hi-hat, which is so weak it's almost inaudible compared to the rest.
The bass is my second-favorite bass after druk. It's short and clear, and you can
do tons of stuff with it. I find myself using it a lot for repetitive synth-wave bass lines.
The melody is pretty hard to use. Each note has is a built-in chord, a ton of
overtones, and echoes for a good 3/4 of a measure. The best way to use this is sparingly.
Plogg
Plogg is kind of a lighter rock, except the bass player keeps his amp turned up way too loud even
though they keep asking him to dial it back.
The percussion is a pretty standard live drum kit. Its strength is that it's so
generic that it fits in everywhere.
The bass is the loudest in the line-up. Honestly, when I use this bass I usually
turn it down to half-volume. It takes two grid squares to sound out, so it's not for fast bass lines.
The one exception is if I need a long-held bass note that's as hardcore loud as possible. Repeating a
Plogg bass note like with the Adau melody works pretty good for that.
The melody, like Druk, is an octave below most of the other melodies. I use this
a lot for low male vocals, and the occasional clean guitar. It takes two grid squares to sound out
so it's not great for fast melodies.
Clazz (Concept)
Original video
The instrument set request I hear the most is "piano". So here's my concept.
The percussion is smooth jazz, because even Plogg is still too heavy for some songs.
The bass is high and clear enough to play chords. The only other bass that can do that right now is
Adau.
The melody is an octave higher than most of the other melodies. We don't have enough of those and most
piano requests I get fall into that range.
Zeta (Concept)
Original video
I would love a reto-gaming chiptune instrument set. So here's my concept.
The percussion is based on a Commodore 64, the earliest thing I could think of that
can pull off a distinct bass drum.
The bass is from some Super Breakout clone I used to play. I can't remember the
platform but I can hear that ball bouncing sound very clearly in my head.
I wanted something high and chill for the melody, because we don't really have
anything like that yet. I guess it turned out a little Nintendo-esque?

Known Issues
-
The library data store and search function is pretty dumb right now. It possibly doesn't work so
great on devices with limited horsepower.
-
There may be some delay when playing an instrument pack for the first time. This is because of
the safeguards a lot of browsers have in place to prevent auto-play video and audio. There isn't
much I can do about it. You have to click something before it can even load the sounds.
-
The playback note animations sometimes cause Firefox to continually reload the note images
over and over again.
-
With Safari and possibly iOS, minimizing or otherwise hiding the window while it's playing will
stop the audio. When you come back it takes a few tries playing and stopping before it fully
returns. I'm not quite sure what's going on there yet.
-
Not sure if it's just my phone, but playback on Chrome for Android kind of sucks.
-
Dragging the playback cursor, mousing over a disabled Paste, then dropping, will
not register the drop and you have to click again to stop dragging the cursor. I'm too lazy to fix
it right now.
-
If you stop playback close enough to the end of a song and then start it again it will skip over a
song in the playlist.
-
You can't cancel a rendering in progress in Firefox.
-
Generating a WAV file is not supported at all in Safari.
-
There's currently a lot of ways to mess up WAV rendering by clicking where you shouldn't while it's running.
