Animal Crossing how to create your own melodies

As you improve your island in the Animal Crossing New Horizons game, you will eventually unlock the ability to compose a song about the theme of the island.

Once you unlock Isabel and upgrade your residence service, you'll be able to create a new island-themed song, and she'll even sing it for you. It will play as you walk around the island, so choose wisely, because you don't want to go crazy with the same ditty. The guys at Arekkz have managed to compose covers of several well-known Animal Crossing tunes, including one where you have to throw bells at your Warlock. To start with, he talks to Isabelle and selects the option to change the island tune. Sheet music will appear and you can create your own short song.

This process reminds me of creating ringtones for old Nokia phones, and it's not hard to learn. If you want to hear what the songs sound like before putting them into the game, check out Arekkz's video.

Animal Crossing New Horizons – How to create your own melody for the island

Each note has a different colored frog face, including pauses. Gray and purple frogs denote stops and pauses, respectively, and are easily distinguished from notes. You'll also be able to place high and low versions of the different notes, so play around with them and see what you like best.

We have prepared 14 melodies for you, check out their compositions below. If you go to the NookNet website, you can easily create your own songs. You can also edit in-game, using the up and down directional buttons to change notes one at a time.
