00:04:644 - yuh

00:06:099 - are you ignoring these on purpose?

00:07:553 - same here

00:00:281 - from the very start to 00:12:099 - yo seem to be ignoring a lot of sounds like the little snares, which can be appreciated, so it feels weird not playing a note while listening to it imo

Whoops, that wasn't intentional lmao

fixed!

o true, fixed!

whoops, all are fixed now

also restructured some stuff around 03:40:463 - to make sure that double is decently comfy

Ah, yeah I see what you mean. All are applied!

Yep! Idk those 1/8 burst sorta felt right to cover those higher pitched synths. I think it makes them stand out more and I like how they play personally

YES! Great idea, I'll apply that

oh, so in this case the "bass" vocals are just meant to be on 4: 01:10:281 (70281|3,71008|3,71735|3,72463|3) -

01:11:008 (71008|0) - is just to emphasize the "ah" (scratch that I'm calling it "a")

Whoops, fixed all of them

Ahh, yeah I thought about that when I originally did it but idk I kind of prefer how a 1/4 LN looks visually and I kind of prefer how the current pattern plays too. To me 2 1/4 LNs kinda accentuate that super loud synth a bit better. Makes it feel punchier imo

yeaaaaa that's fair, I'll do that

another option which can add a bit more detail is doing something like

by having the last 2 jacks be on the same col it adds some seperation of the last 2 jacks against 01:25:644 (85644|2,85735|2) - which is of a different synth

if you accept then it can apply to 01:19:826 (79826|1,79917|1,80008|3,80099|0,80099|3,80190|0,80281|2,80372|2) - as well

Really good point tbh

I like the second suggestion a lot so I'll do that. Feels pretty nice to play too

01:14:008 - oops i missed another instance of it but i guess it would apply here as well

lmao I don't know how I missed that either, fixed

I know your not a fan of triples in most of your maps so thats why i said its up to you lol

Totally fair! I guess it's an inconsistency when compared to some later sections, but my worry is that adding triples will led to unintentional triple jacks at spots like 01:47:008 - , so I feel like adding triples to every clap will limit the way I can layer the section

As for the triples pointed out, they're meant to cover this really short cymbal that I wanted to bring out. I appreciate the suggestion though!

Hmm I was pretty conflicted on this one

Probably pretty obvious but I originally wanted those double jacks into double LNs to highlight those loud hihats so they stand out from parts like 01:47:008 -. I personally like how the current patterns play, however your suggestion was really interesting so I messed around with the kiai for a bit

but

After trying to make it work I had a lot of trouble preserving playability at certain points due to the additional density those patterns would provide. In particular the parts before the OH trills (like 01:49:675 (109675|0,109735|1,109796|0) - ) were kind of blegh to deal with overall (And the OH trills have to stay in since I really love how they play)

If you're curious though, I made a little test diff to try to implement your idea that I'll link here: https://mystic.s-ul.eu/gAeN3xWI

The first half actually represents my last attempt to make it work and the second half represents the second to last so I'll talk about the second half first

The second half is sort of my "ideal" way to represent it. Specifically:

• the double LNs at 02:00:947 - and 02:01:675 - (for example) have to be different than the [12] and [34] double LNs while also being different from 02:01:190 - and 02:01:917 - since they represent a different set of synth pitches
• the doubles that cover those loud hihats 01:58:038 - were changed into triples so they could still be emphasized in a different way

And the first half is the same except without the triples since the triples made things really nasty to play once you got to the OH trill

I'll leave this open though, idk if something like this was what you were thinking of and I'm definitely open to suggestions!

I think the second half is basically what I was suggesting - I'd be fine with that personally. I'm not sure the OH trills would be an issue considering the chart often uses one-handed trills as a motif throughout for repeating rhythms.

If you're going to apply the second half, I'm just gonna point out that 01:45:553 (105553|2,105553|3,105675|2,105675|3) might be a mistake? It doesn't follow the 1/3 rhythm xd

Hmm sure! I think you have a cool idea and I might be worrying a bit too much

I think 01:45:553 (105553|2,105553|3,105675|2,105675|3) - still follows the 1/3 rhythm though, I can hear a synth at 01:45:675 - at lower speeds

Good stuff, applied!

Agreed, and fixed!

good point, applied

oh! Actually I was covering a different sound. The same...whatever instrument this is also plays at 00:02:463 (2463|1,2523|2,2584|3) - so it's sort of a callback to that
