Genshin ൩Impact players are using the recently introdu꧙ced lyre to create covers of some all-time great songs. 

Genshin Impact update 1.4 introduced the Mondstadt Festival and the lyre is playable via an in-game keyboard. Naturally, someone's already played Through the Fire and Flameಞ by Dragonforce on the thing, and that's just one of the many impressive covers we've heard so far. 

and . These fast-paced, highly detailed covers are really only possible thanks to a script that can play any s🔥heet music you feed into it. The Genshin Impact lyre has three keys with seven notes, each mapped to a specific keystroke or button depending on your platform, so there's a lot going on.  

I'm sure th🐬ere are some talented musicians and rhythm gamers who could pull this stuff off naturally, but it'd be damn near impossible to hit chords like this even with a ton of practice. Writing the sheet music and letting technology handle the rest is far simpler, and still produces some stunning covers. 

Speaking of talented musicians:🤪 ChaconneScott, an actual pianist who's done , has composed an equally impressive range of tracks using the new in-game lyre. This take on Ganyu's theme, which shows off what one person and careful layering can do, is especially charming:

Other standouts include the one and only , from developer MiHoYo's Honkai Impact 3rd, and (for there can never be enough Me𒆙galovania covers). We look forward to the first four-lyre Genshin Impact concert, which we can only assume is being arranged as we speak.
