What makes SOUND VOLTEX different from the other game series is that regular BEMANI artists (either KONAMI in-house or commissioned ones) aren't prominent in the song list. Instead, artists renowned in the doujin and beatmania simulation scene are more common here, plus licensed [[EXIT TUNES]] songs and ''Touhou Project'' arrangements. There are also remixes of original KONAMI songs.<br>

While at first the song list mostly consisted of original songs or licenses involving VOCALOID, later in the life-cycle of the first game the artist selection greatly expanded thanks to what it is supposed to be the most important pillar of the series - the FLOOR section.
