Verdict

LAYOUT · your keyboard

Pick a layout — the song re-maps to it and plays. Or tap CUSTOMIZE MAP to remap keys yourself. Standard = two hands; Keyboard Game = a wide two-octave right hand.

NOTE MAPS · tap one to edit it

Each note map is a fixed hand shape this song uses. Tap a map to jump your hand to it, then CUSTOMIZE MAP (or ↺ to reset that map) to change which note each key plays.

SONG

SEED · this exact song, in one code

Same seed, same song and level, on any computer. Note maps and edits you've made come with it.

CASCADA STUDIO · the chart as text

When the auto-chart doesn't feel good, this is where you'll fix it. Notes carry durations; each note map is computer-key → note; the schedule is which map to be on when.

SESSION DATA · tune the note maps

ACCOUNT · your history, your songs, your setup

PROGRESS

KEYBOARD MAP

Lit keys are mapped to a note. Press any letter — it lights the key and its piano note. Left hand = blue, right hand = orange.
