As a major note, newly added songs have the NOVICE chart always unlocked by default. The other difficulty charts, most of the time, must be bought from the SDVX Station. In the first game, you could buy single charts; in the sequel, you buy all of them for a song at once.

ULTIMATE CHAINS or PERFECT ULTIMATE CHAINS can be requirements that need to be fullfilled before you can buy certain charts for songs.

= SDVX Station =
SDVX Station is the section of the game where you can buy song charts by using Blocks or Packets. You gain Blocks by playing the game and you gain Packets by purchasing Appeal Cards.
 
Since NOVICE charts are always unlocked, you will only buy here ADVANCED, EXHAUST and INFINITE ones. In SOUND VOLTEX BOOTH, you could buy single charts; in the sequel, you buy all of them for a song at once. Another difference between the two games is the absence of RANK requirements in SOUND VOLTEX II -infinite infection-.
 
Besides purchase costs, often there will be conditions that need to be fulfilled. They can range from clearing a certain amount of songs to getting ULTIMATE CHAINS.
 
A list of purchasable charts for both games can be found here:

Note that when playing new game versions, older songs still must be bought if you haven't done it before.

The purpose of the RANK System in SOUND VOLTEX BOOTH is to gain the possibility for the players of buying new song charts from the SDVX Station. There 20 ranks in total, and you can raise them by accumulating Rank Points (RP). To accumulate RP you need to play songs and clear songs (getting ULTIMATE CHAINS or PERFECT ULTIMATE CHAINS makes the process faster). Once you gain a new Rank, you need to accumulate a new amount of RP for the next one.
