๐ŸŽต v1.0.37 Patch Notes


๐ŸŽธ Long Notes Added (New)

Long notes are finally here! Hold the key down while the note passes through to see it all the way to the end ๐ŸŽถ

  • Re-enter with any key โ€” If your finger slips mid-hold, you can just press again before the note ends and keep going. A slip won't wreck your run, so play it loose and easy ๐Ÿ˜Š

  • Dedicated sound & effects โ€” A hold sound with a gradually rising pitch plays throughout, and dedicated effects trigger at the start, ticks, and end โœจ

๐Ÿ’ก Even if your hand slips mid-hold, you can grab it back as long as the note hasn't ended yet. No need to tense up, just enjoy it!๐Ÿ˜Š

๐ŸŽฏ Note Generation Further Improved

  • Repeated Section Pattern Recognition โ€” Detects recurring phrases in a song and generates more consistent note patterns

  • Sustained Notes โ†’ Auto Long Note Conversion โ€” Recognizes sustained tones and places long notes instead of regular ones, aiming for a flow that feels like it was charted by hand ๐ŸŽง

  • Improved Note Strength Distribution โ€” Notes are now placed more evenly in line with the song's intensity changes

๐Ÿ” AutoPlay Continuous Playback & Favorites

Now you can gather your favorite songs and play them back-to-back with AutoPlay, with zero gaps!

  • Favorites System โ€” Add songs you love to your favorites, and use that list straight away for AutoPlay continuous playback โญ

  • Improved AutoPlay Note Strength Distribution โ€” AutoPlay performances now feel more natural and better capture each song's vibe

  • AutoPlay Long Note Support โ€” The new long notes are fully supported in AutoPlay too

๐ŸŽจ Preset System & Expanded Color Themes

A new preset system lets you save and load your skin, effect, key bindings, pitch, and volume settings all at once!

  • 3 New Color Themes โ€” Purple, Orange, and Yellow join the existing 2, bringing the total to 5 ๐ŸŸฃ๐ŸŸ ๐ŸŸก

  • Save your favorite combo as a preset and switch to it with a single button

โŒจ๏ธ Sub Key Binding Added

You can now assign a secondary key to each lane. Customize freely for whatever layout feels best in your hands ๐ŸŽน

๐Ÿ‘š Summer Costume Skin โ€” Kei Preview

Summer costume work has begun! First up is Kei ๐ŸŒŠ

The rest of the cast (Wina, Nana, Nia, Karen) are in the works too, so hang tight! ๐Ÿ–๏ธ

๐Ÿ› ๏ธ Bug Fixes & Other Improvements

  • Fixed an issue where simultaneous key presses were sometimes dropped

  • Fixed an issue where notes could be consumed twice during AutoPlay

  • Fixed chart corruption caused by audio loading timing issues

  • Fixed multiple bugs related to continuous playback and presets


From Wina

Long notes... this is a feature I've been wanting to add for a long time ๐ŸŽธ It took a while to get the feel just right, but it should hold up really naturally now!

From Kei

Summer costume work has finally started! Next time it'll be someone else's turn, so look forward to it ๐ŸŒŠ

Thanks to all of you, we're keeping at it with full energy today too ๐Ÿ’•
