When comparing to the main theme as usually recorded, the version that plays on Balatro+ aka the Apple Arcade edition seems to be slightly lower in pitch (see the attached videos). As a musician this is driving me insane, and the worst thing is i don't know if that was the intention because of how hilariously unhinged this game is lol
#Not sure if it's a bug or not but OST is lower pitched on iOS Apple Arcade edition

worthy plume
it's that way on every version
this was my guess as to why:
the game has the audio files as sped up versions so they are shorter and therefor take up less space
the game slows them down to 70% of their speed when playing them
if the sped up audio files had to be slowed down by 70% to get the original speed, they should have been sped up by 1/0.7 = ~1.428. maybe they sped up by 1.4 and so there's a small difference.

I see. So they even made the OST unhinged. Oh no.
