Music Buff Effect

“	Music Buff Effect for the skills is based on Song's rank rather than Playing Instrument.	„

For both instrument and microphone?

“	（歌効果＋バフ効果）	„

roughly, it translates to: Song Rank + Music Buff Effect. And yes, it does apply to both from what I read off site.

Interestingly, automatic weapon conversion forces the switch to a Microphone, even if an instrument and microphone is equipped.

This might be me, but when I play normal Rank 1 Enduring Melody with and without Fantastic Chorus using a regular flute and concert microphone, it gives me 13 Def, 13 M Def, 6.3 Prot, 6.3 M Prot, and 520.70% recovery. My Song is only Rank 4 (+12) and my Playing Instrument is Rank 1 (+15).

If Fantastic Chorus only used Song, while everything else used both, shouldn't my Fantastic Chorus-Enduring Melody bonus have been lower?

My rF buffs still gives +15 from r1 play and +11 from r5 song for a +.26% from 1% base.

According to this edit, Music Buff Effect/Duration has zero effect on Fantastic Chorus.

I'm even more lost Q_Q

Music buff effect from both at the minute, effect normal buff skills when used with Fantastic. But Fantastic-only buffs are not effected by music buff effect, unsure on duration. (On another note, Song and Playing Stacking was originally a glitch then they fixed it so only Song's buff effect effects this, but then players complained because they liked it the old way so it was changed to both stacking all the time.)
