General Information / Changes

• Theme: Valkyries.
• A new cabinet, the Valkyrie model, has been introduced.
  • The monitor has been upgraded to run at a 120Hz refresh rate.
  • A touchscreen has been added underneath the main screen.
    • You can now search for songs by title or artist name by entering it on the touch screen.
  • The sound system has been upgraded to a 4.1 speaker configuration.
  • The control panel has been "adjusted for e-sports".
• A new judgement, S-CRITICAL, has been introduced as a judgement stricter than CRITICAL. It is only available when playing with EXCEED START or MEGAMIX START.
  • The S-CRITICAL judgment is worth the same amount of points as CRITICAL in the normal scoring system.
  • EX Score is now displayed when using S-CRITICAL judgements.
• Two new modes have been introduced:
  • EXCEED START, which allows you to use the S-CRITICAL judgement, along with the ARS gauge and 3 songs guaranteed.
  • MEGAMIX START, which allows you to use the MEGAMIX BATTLE feature. If no players can be found to match with, it will change to EXCEED START.
    • MEGAMIX BATTLE is a two-player matching mode which uses the AUTOMATION PARADISE feature. Both players choose 5 songs each, and the total of 10 songs are mixed in real time during play. The player with the higher score for each song wins the MEGAMIX BATTLE.
    • This mode was previously promised as the 1,000,000 MANIFEST goal for the いちかのBEMANI投票選抜戦2019 event.
• A new EXTRACK gauge appears next to BLASTER ENERGY. Neither gauge can be filled using LIGHT START.
  • Unlock systems requiring BLASTER ENERGY can be accessed outside of EXTRACK, as long as the BLASTER ENERGY gauge is full.
• System BGM is composed by SYUNN.
• The UI for Song Select has received a major overhaul, returning to the vertical list style used in SOUND VOLTEX BOOTH.
• First SOUND VOLTEX game not to feature any of the navigator characters in the game end screen.
• The Hi-SPEED value is now displayed in hundredths (i.e. 1.03 speed).
  • Unlike in previous installments, the Hi-SPEED value does not pertain to the BPM.
• SOUND VOLTEX GENERATOR -REAL MODEL- has been discontinued due to it no longer being compatible.
• From February 24th, 2021, RASIS is featured as the announcer, voiced by Ai Kayano.
  • The announcer voice can be toggled on/off.
