The Somachord is a circular counter inside the Personal Quarters which can be used to play music inside the Orbiter, functioning as a jukebox.

Somachord Tones[]

Somachord-0

Somachord fragment in-game.

To unlock sounds for the Somachord, players must find Somachord Tones which are fragments of soundtracks scattered throughout the Origin System, scannable with Codex Scanners or Synthesis Scanners. Tones are placed randomly in the tileset in each mission and can only be scanned once per mission. They are identified as purple bars arranged in an arc, reminiscent of the Mandachord's note table, and have a unique pink icon on the mini-map if equipped with a Loot Radar mod. Each soundtrack requires scanning 4 tones to unlock, and the player must complete the mission for the scan to be saved.

Quest soundtracks (The Sacrifice and Call of the Tempestarii) instead spawn tones throughout their mission and require fewer tones to scan. However, they must be scanned in order of appearance or subsequent tones will not appear; these quests are repeatable in the event the player misses a tone.

Notes[]

  • Loot Radar mods such as Mod TT 20px Loot Detector, Mod TT 20px Thief's Wit, and Mod TT 20px Animal Instinct (Mod TT 20px Primed) will cause Somachord Tones to appear on the minimap.
  • Somachord Tones do not count for Cephalon Fragment scans needed to unlock Junctions.
  • Somachord Tones can appear simultaneously with Cephalon and Frame Fighter Fragments in the same mission.
  • Right-clicking on songs in the Somachord menu will stop that song from being auto-played.
  • The Somachord can play custom music made using OctaviaIcon272 Octavia's Mandachord.
  • We All Lift Together, Sleeping In The Cold Below, and For Narmer are the full versions of the songs, not instrumentals.
  • Orb Vallis Somachords can receive progress from scanning Post-The New War Tones. However, the Post-The New War tones only contribute mid-progress, and only counts one scan regardless of source requiring the player to leave and re-enter the Orb Vallis after a single scan.
  • For Break Narmer and Duviri, because Kahl-175 and Drifter respectively have no access to the Gear wheel, they instead manually interact with the Somachord fragment to collect them.
