We know next to ziltch about what her powers actually do. But we can guesstimate!

All her powers are said to be deployables, which likely means area denial and auras. The Step Sequencer supposedly determines ability damage within the BPM perimeters (more frequent beats = less damage per note, less frequent beats = more damage per note), plus maybe the types and strengths of buffs/debuffs as well (CC, status effects, etc).

You can individually modify the notes for her 1 ("Music Box"), 2 ("Pied Piper"), and 3 ("Jam"), while 4 seems to amplify their effects ("Amplifier"). Music Box deploys a static beatbox which Pied Piper's roller can pick up and follow Octavia around, but no idea what Jam and Amplifier look like now; they were AoE deployables with the visual effects shown on Devstream.

I hope we can bring out the sequencer mid-mission and swap songs on-the-fly.
