Play this instrument by equipping and using the included Shawzin Emote.
—In-game description

The Shawzin is a stringed musical instrument from the Orokin era. First seen during The Sacrifice quest as a background decoration, it was later added as both an Orbiter decoration and an Emote that allows players to play their own music.

Acquisition[]

There are multiple variants of Shawzin available in the Market, which grant the player the Orbiter decoration of the purchased instrument. Upon acquiring any Shawzin, the player will also receive the unique Shawzin emote.

There are two Shawzins available without the need for platinum - The Iridos Shawzin can be purchased with Aya, and the Courtly Shawzin is instead awarded from clearing all 12 Shawzin Songs on Virtuoso difficulty scattered throughout The Duviri Experience.

Variants[]

There are several variants of the Shawzin, three of which are skins for the basic Dax's Shawzin (Dawn, Day of the Dead, and Mimica) while the others have a unique sound profile corresponding to guitars in the real world. The Narmer Shawzin is only available for purchase after completing The New War.

Mechanics[]

To play the Shawzin, players must activate the Shawzin Emote from their Gear wheel, which will make their Warframe kneel down and hold the instrument, while also unlocking the main Shawzin interface. Other players in the squad or inside a Landing Craft can hear the music played on the Shawzin. Other player's Shawzin sounds can be disabled by adjusting "Settings > Audio > Ally Mandachord Volume".

Custom-made songs can be created and Chat linked, or copied to clipboard in order to save them.

Players that have OctaviaIcon272 Octavia equipped can turn on her percussion track by pressing 4.

Duviri[]

Throughout The Duviri Experience are 12 Shawzins, each with their own preset song. These songs have two playable difficulties: Normal or Virtuoso. Completion of these songs, regardless of difficulty, awards a random Duviri resource, 3 Drifter Intrinsics, and a Decree, once per Shawzin per visit.

Controls[]

The various default controls for the Shawzin include:

Asides from a handful of default songs, songs played on the Shawzin can also be recorded to share with other players, and in turn pre-recorded songs can also be imported into the player's song library. The maximum number of notes in song for linking in chat is 100. Global limit of notes in a song is 1000 and such songs can be copied to the clipboard and imported from it. Songs can only be copied to the clipboard and pasted on PC, as of now it can not be done on PS4, XB1, or the Switch. When a song is played, a rhythm game will commence where players must time play the Shawzin to the beat of notes falling onto a meter. Players will be given a score based on their performance after the song plays, though this score has no real effect on gameplay. Other options in this section include:
  • Metronome - This option enables the audio cue on the metronome when recording a song. The Metronome is on by default.
  • Slow Playback - Enabling this option will slow down the song playback, giving players more time to see the falling notes on the board.
  • Auto Play - Enabling this option will make the song play its notes without player input.
A Pressing Right Stick (R3 ) Pressing Right Stick (R3 ) Pressing Right Stick (R3 ) Switch Instrument: Allows the player to switch between the different types of Shawzins available. If the player has not purchased another Shawzin, this option allows them to directly purchase other Shawzin types on the Market.
  • Instruments cannot be switched outside of the Orbiter
X Options Start Home Exit

On most shawzins, plucking a string while holding down a combination of frets produces a chord instead of a single note, with 12 distinct chords available (4 combinations of frets, 3 available chords per combination). The Tiamat Shawzin does not produce chords, but instead changes the sound to mimic the slap bass technique.

Ongoing Bug: Since The New War update, bindings have not been working on console platforms, being stuck to default with no way to change them even after settings adjustments.

This bug has yet to be fixed as of the latest hotfix to the Angels of the Zariman update.

Song Transcription[]

Songs played on the Shawzin are stored as a string of numbers, letters, and symbols.[1] These songs can only be manually recorded for up to 4 minutes with 1000 notes. However, you can import 4m16s songs with 1666 notes.

Each song begins with a number, indicating the scale that the song is played on.

Scale Pentatonic Minor Pentatonic Major Chromatic Hexatonic Major Minor Hirajoshi Phrygian Yo
Number 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9

Every note consists of three characters, with the first character indicating the note to be played. Important to note that letters are case-sensitive and that whammy is not recorded.

Possible First Characters
Frets/Strings 1 2 1 & 2 3 1 & 3 2 & 3 1 & 2 & 3
None B C D E F G H
Sky J K L M N O P
Earth R S T U V W X
Water h i j k l m n
Sky & Earth Z a b c d e f
Sky & Water p q r s t u v
Earth & Water x y z 0 1 2 3
Sky & Earth & Water 5 6 7 8 9 + /

The following two characters signal where said note is played with 4096 unique positions. The second character tells what measure the note is played in, from A-Z, then a-z, then 0-9, then +, /, for a total of 64 measures where each measure lasts for four seconds. Each measure is divided into 64 parts as the third character represents: A-Z, then a-z, then 0-9, then +, /.

A sample note BAA will represent No Fret + 1st string played in the 1st measure at the 1/64th position of said measure.

Water Fret + 3 (k) D#6 D6 B4 A#5 G5 G5 C#6 G5 D#6
  • Whammy will lower these notes by one semitone.
    • Although C4 to D#6 is the Shawzin's playable range across all 9 scale sets, B5 is currently missing and cannot be played without the use of Whammy.

  • Fixed Shawzin emote not deactivating when another player activates Extraction.
  • Fixed several Shawzin control and cursor issues when using Steam input or XInput:

      • Fixed immediately failing song and losing function after using keyboard input.
    • Fixed the “Select Difficulty” input not working after completing a song for the second time.

      • This fixes being unable to play certain chords since “SONGS” was changed to the right trigger in The Duviri Paradox update.
    • Added new “Alt” Sky, Earth, and Water Fret bindings and made them defaults for the left/right bumpers and right trigger.
      • This fixes being unable to hit notes that require multiple Fret inputs due to them all being assigned to the D-Pad in The Duviri Paradox update.

    • Added new “Chord” binding and made it the default for the top D-Pad button.
      • This allows you to be able to play chords that require both the Sky and Water Frets.

Update 33.0 (2023-04-26)

ENTER DUVIRI
SIDE OBJECTIVES

Duviri comes with enough side objectives to keep even Dominus Thrax entertained. Many of the following side objectives are marked within the landscape:

SHAWZIN PLAYING

Put on a show for the habitants of Duviri! Shawzins can be found near eager patrons looking to be serenaded, or in serene locations where a Drifter can play for themselves. Shawzin songs vary from location to location, and come with two difficulties to play: Normal and Virtuoso.

Completing a song on any difficulty will reward a Decree, 3 Intrinsics, and Resources, once per Shawzin Song per Duviri visit. Meaning once you have completed a song at one location, you’ll have to find a new Shawzin to play to earn more rewards -- but if you simply want to enjoy the sounds of the Shawzin you can replay it as many times as you want!

Complete each of the 12 Shawzin songs on their Virtuoso difficulty to receive the COURTLY SHAWZIN* - delight elite audiences with its elegant ornamentation and unique sound found only in Duviri.

*Due to only being able to acquire this Shawzin once via playing in Duviri, players will be unable to Contribute this item to their Dojo Treasuries.

Once obtained, it can be placed as a decoration in your Orbiter or Dormizone or played! To use, equip the Shawzin Emote onto your Emote Wheel in the Arsenal, and activate in mission to strum some chords! Every Shawzin Song has its own unique location within the Duviri Kingdom, so explore Thrax’s world to find them all.

Note: Seeing as Shawzin playing is a more relaxed activity, if there are enemies within 50 meters of it you will not be able to start your symphony until you’ve cleared the threat.

Dress just like the hero described in the famous storybook, Tales of Duviri. The Fabled Warrior Pack includes the Lonesome Shawzin.

*All items in this pack are available for purchase separately.

    • Water Fret: Right D-Pad (was RT)

A note from our Sound Team: “We recorded many different real guitars to make this electric guitar Shawzin sound heavy. The sounds are a result of blending these different guitar tones together.

Update 25.7 (2019-08-29)

SHAWZIN 2.0 - INTERACTIVE EMOTE!

  • Play single notes and chords
  • Play along with Mandachord rhythm section
  • Practice songs included (and a "slow playback" feature also available)
    • "This Is What You Are", "We All Lift Together", and "Smiles From Juran" songs included!
  • Add vibrato and whammy bar effects
  • Record your Shawzin songs and share with friends by linking in Chat once you’ve achieved at least 4 Clems (points) by playing your track back
    • Shawzin can auto playback songs or you can play along
    • Metronome mode option (120bpm with quantization feature)

Shawzin music can be heard in Squads and aboard landing crafts. Relays do allow you to play, but you will only hear your music and not your peers.
