Yeah, that's basically what I've gathered since then. Disappointing to hear it's not an easy fix, tho at the same time I feel as if instruments could use a refactor at some point anyway? I mean they deal HORRIBLY with lag to the point that they're disabled by default, just bc they can sound like ass on bad (or even just slightly mediocre) connections. Some sort of buffer might (I imagine) fix both the lag issues and the seemingly arbitrary BPM stepping.

pretty sure you can get tape from the art vendors

So, instruments right now have a strange quirk. If you try to paste a song from the wiki, you'll find that most of the time, it'll be way slower or faster than the actual song was. you may notice that a song you pasted in with 180 BPM has been set to....171??? The instruments themselves are hard-locked to a set of preset BPM values, and you can see these when clicking the + and - buttons. The preset ranges don't really....work with most songs, so a lot of the time, you end up with stuff that sounds off, like, annoyingly so. Posted this on the github, but it was marked as a feature request instead of an issue, so uh, closed it and moved it here where it can be properly ignored. :)
