Instrument activation and application each take a move.

When applied, move the chosen piece. All friendly pieces around it will copy the movement (move together). Both captures and friendly-fire are possible. 

When applied, choose one friendly piece of each type, exchange the positions of the 6 pieces. Only shuffles, where all 6 pieces are get a new position, are allowed. 

When applied, all pieces "seen" by white queen are moved towards her and land next to her. 

When activated it records a 3x3 square around the black king.

When applied, it rewrites the 3x3 square around the king to whatever state was recorded. Both piece deletion and duplication are thus possible. 

When applied, choose any piece and move it 2 positions back in time. 

Black has a "continental shift" instrument.

When applied, pick right/left/up/down. All friendly pieces are moved 1 square in the given direction. Piece is not moved if there is an obstruction.

Game takes place in the comments. When a comment with a proposed white move gets 3 likes from other people the move is made.
