Octavia Prime brings the beat back in style as our own Adrian Haas goes through the ins and outs of one of the most interesting Frames out there. And by interesting we mean Octavia is the only Warframe that comes equipped with a musical step-sequencer that lets you lay-down the beat, melody, and percussion of the on-screen action.

As seen in the trailer for Octavia Prime.

Music defines the entirety of Octavia's abilities, and it's all based around the Mandachord. This is a basic step sequencer, complete with its own set of instrument samples, capable of producing intricate songs.

The quest to obtain (non-Prime) Octavia and her instrument is rather special, and one of the more memorable journeys in the game.

There are of course default patterns you can use but composing music is super easy - just click the tile in the bass, melody or percussion line. Combining and looping the various notes and instruments into an awesome sounding track however, requires a certain skill, which, after many hours of trial and mostly error -- I can confidently say I do not possess. Thankfully songs can be shared via in-game Chat, and importing someone else's creation is simple.
