Songs/Charts in IIDX in time signatures other than 4/4

Ashura96 · 10-21-2009, 01:20 PM

So the majority of songs in bemani games are charted in 4/4 (every song in DDR except Cutie Chaser and its remix), but iidx has a few exceptions that I have noticed. I would like to be able to find out which songs are played in something other than 4/4.

Here's what I know:

Holic - 7/8
100% minimoo-G - NONE!
PentaCube - 5/4

Also songs like Ballad For You and Burning Heat! can probably be seen in something like 12/8, however the bpm's of those songs suggest that they are in 4/4 instead (which is a really easy conversion.)

Hopefully there's more.

Garden
bag

can't think of any more off the top of my head... Technically, all the nustyle gabber songs are 3/4, too.

I think Injection of Love is 3/4 as well. Other than that I can't think of any.

Agnus Dei and Toy Cube are both in 3/4.

Injection of Love is definitely in 4/4.

Burning Heat (2 option mix) chart is all 1/12 notes in 4/4 but the song is 6/8
Injection of Love is the same
Holic is 7/8
EternuS 6/8

There's more mostly in 6/8, but DDR has more diversity than you think

I don't play enough IIDX to be able to name any off of the top of my head, though I know as has been said before, most of the nu gabber type tracks are in 6/8 (and there is a difference between 3/4 and 6/8)

I'm just dying to hear some 11/4 or 15/8 stuff though :]

The Deep Strikes, Outer Limits Alternative, and Grid Knight all go by 3/4. Most of the Gabba songs go by the same signature.

Saber Wing in DDR also starts in 3/4, then switches to 5/4, then back to 3/4 again.

These songs are all in 4/4 time. If you count the beats you'll notice they go one-two-three-four per measure.

For an example of a song in 3/4 time, see ToyCube Pf. from Empress CS. If you count to this you'll notice it goes one-two-three-one-two-three and so on.

edit: yeah, Saber Wing is another good example

GRADIUS -FULL SPEED- is in 3/4 for a bit during the triplet section. Or 4/4 depending on how you look at it.
Bahram Attack is in 4/4, but it has an interesting melody that repeats groups of 5 and 6 notes in its melody.
Not IIDX, but Ten Niwa/Heavenly Garden from pop'n music 15, as far as I can tell, has -no- time signature.
The jacky part in the middle of himiko after the opening runs goes for 16 beats, 18 beats then 19 beats. Not really a time signature, just being weird.
Marie Antoinette is 3/4, of course.
Pop'n again: Poltergeist I have no idea what the time signature is. If you're after weird songs, it'd be good to look into pop'n.
Pop'n: Nishiazabu Suidou Kyoku swaps between 6 beat and 3-4 beat long portions for the main part of the song. Otherwise it's in 6/8.
Pop'n: Vairocana swaps between 6 half-beat and 8 half-beat portions at varying points in the song.
Pop'n: Totsukaku Zenkaiten alternates between 6 beats and 5 beats.

Neji no hito (GFDM/pop'n) is mainly 5/4
Ryuuhyou no sarite (GFDM) is 5/4 in the beginning part

Well, most Asaki songs have different/awkward time signatures.

I think this should be moved to Other Bemani Discussion or something.

[+Duracell-] · 10-22-2009, 10:48 AM

Either Alfarshear or Apocolypse switch from 4/4 to 3/4 and then back to 4/4 in the middle of the song.

Deca · 10-22-2009, 01:24 PM

Eheheheh Neji no Hito.

Orbital Velocity is in 3/4...or maybe 6/8? Can someone tell me which is correct :p

Most Gabba songs are in 6/8

Garden is in 3/4 because of the whole waltz thing.

They're in 4/4. Having the synth follow 12ths does not change the number of beats in a measure.

Burning Heat is 4/4 too.

If using 12ths made a song 6/8 then that'd mean So Fabulous! is occasionally 6/8 for like two beats which obviously isn't true.

I think Garden is 6/8 but the game maps out the notes as if it was 6/4 for some reason (check the measure lines, it has 6 full beats per measure ingame), same with Journey to Fantasica.

Patashu · 10-22-2009, 06:34 PM

Garden has parts that are 5/8; 20 seconds in for instance

Also, lol at all the people who think using triplets means you've changed the number of beats per measure
