Object density is only one aspect of reading, and training only that isolated aspect at ar8 will not mean that you can suddenly do ar9 240bpm. Once again, If you want to get good at AR9, play AR9.
Actually; yes. For the most part at least.
Following the table above:
AR8 at 190BPM has an object density of 4.8
AR9 at 240BPM has an object density of 4.8
After trying those two settings on different maps (
here's an example of an AR8 190BPM map, and
here an AR9 240bpm), they do feel really similar in how I read them. Granted the first one is much easier, but that wasn't the point here. The difference between them is that I have to process stuff faster at 240bpm than 190bpm, but it's really not a big difference. If you can read AR8 on a 190BPM insane, you can do the same on an AR9 240BPM insane. Insane means: Jumps, streams and some overlapping circles here and there.
Keep in mind I'm only talking about the reading part, keeping up stamina/speed wise on the 240BPM map will obviously be harder.
And those two examples are exactly that;
examples. They aren't the only maps I used for this little experiment.
