 Rating keyboard songs
I've noticed foot ratings for keyboard songs are rather random and inconsistent.
I've classified pad and keyboard songs into 1 continuous level spectrum. Once 4.0 is standard, people will be able to see 16+ ratings easily. If there is one system, it would end confusion of Keyboard 12 vs pad 12. Tell me what you think, and what some popular files should be rated under this system.
1-9: Same As DDR
10: May have 8th note streams at a very high BPM(Max 300). Short to medium 16th streams are more common. May contain the equivalent of 16th’s at 125-135 in longer streams. 24ths and 32nds may occur. Some songs at this level are full of hands.
Examples: Max 300 heavy(DDR), Legend of Max(DDR), Kagami Expert
11: Longer 16th streams than 10’s, 8th jumps, more complicated rhythms, May contain the equivalent of 16th’s at 135-150 in longer streams. 24ths and 32nds are more common.
Examples: Xuxa Expert, July Expert
12: 16th streams may go into jumps, May contain the equivalent of 16th’s at 150-170 in longer streams. 24ths and 32nds are fairly common.

15: Jumps may occur in slower 16th streams(<170). May contain the equivalent of 16th’s at 195-205 in longer streams. Almost all streams begin or end with jumps. 16th jumps may occur in sets of 3-5 in slower songs.

System is open-ended, so you can have 24, 25, 26, etc. |
