Controls

Minstrel adds a console button to the Ambient Sound Controls group of the scene controls. It carries the module’s guitar icon and opens or closes the console.

Suppression is not in the scene controls. The Silence scene music toggle sits on the console’s Scenes tab and Silence combat music on the Combat tab.

Troubleshooter report

Minstrel adds its own lines to the 3DS:ATLAS troubleshooter report. They give the active mood, the active cue with the context and type it fired on, the number of soundboard pads, the number of playlists with crossfade turned on, and the state of Syrinscape. The Syrinscape line reads as enabled only when the integration setting is on and an auth token is stored.
