The game by Nintendo known as Animal Crossing New Horizons or ACNH gives the ability to you to be the architect of your own island. If you have so much creativity, it is the perfect game for you to play. In the game, you will be able to decide a lot of things, including the place for the buildings to be built, the place for the tree and flower to grow, and the place for the villagers to stay. Not only that, you are also able to customize the music that plays in some important parts of the island.
Every time you speak with one of the residents on your island in the game, a version of a short song will be heard. This song is known as the island tune. Talking about the tune, it comes from the notes. A tune has a total of 16 notes in total and the number is always the same regardless which villager that you are talking with, including Tom Nook and Isabelle. Here is the list of these 16 notes:
-
- Pause – no note will play
- Hold – will prolong the previous note
- Low G note
- A note
- B note
- C note
- D note
- E note
- F note
- G note
- High A note
- High B note
- High C note
- High D note
- High E note
- ? – an odd chittering sound
Apparently, the tune island is the kind of thing that is able to be changed. It is possible for you to do it with the help of Isabelle. When she takes up residence on your island, she will help you to change your island tune to the one that you prefer.
How do you make your favorite tune to become the tune of your island? If you are blessed with the music skills and have a musical background, you might know the song that you want to use or you might want to compose one by yourself. Feel free to arrange these sounds and place them in any of the 16 note spots. After composing your own tune, you can make it as the tune of your island by following these following instructions:
-
- The very first thing that you need to do is to go to the Resident services.
- When you arrive there, sit in the right stool to talk to Isabelle.
- Then, press A to choose Change the island tune.
- It is time for you to change the notes by using either the left joystick or the directional pad. If you want to change an individual note, you can use up and down and if you want to switch between notes, please you left or right instead.
- Once you are done choosing each note, the next thing that you have to do is to press Y in order to preview the tune.
- If you feel satisfied when hearing the preview, you can just press + to set the tune.
