SOUND VOLTEX Information: Difference between revisions

SOUND VOLTEX is one of the most recent series of BEMANI music games, and the first one to utilize the e-AMUSEMENT Partecipation system.<br>

''SOUND VOLTEX FLOOR'' refers to the group of competitions posted in the website where Japanese-only artists can partecipate, in order to have their songs or remixes appearing on the playable game. Music contests have their own themes and rules, such as remixing a selection of an artist's songs or using synthesized vocals. There are also contests related to designing album arts to replace pre-existing ones in the game.<br>

Thanks to the FLOOR contests (and also to the presence of Touhou arrangements), the game quickly gained a lot of success, suggesting the production team to focus as much as possible on these in the future. Also, contest winners may have a way to get involved in other BEMANI games.

SOUND VOLTEX II -infinite infection- introduces a fourth difficulty: ''INFINITE''. The INFINITE difficulty is very similar to the CHALLENGE one of ''DanceDanceRevolution'' and the MASTER one of ''GITADORA'', as it is only available for a few songs. It is now known yet if it will be available for songs that had easy EXHAUST charts, as seen in the current game.

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

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.

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.

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.
