↑ How to play the Grand Drum

Get an invitation to the festival and find Kimura on the Rito to find out about the beginning of the festival.

After that, go to Amakane Island, where the event itself will take place. Find dosin Hirohiko, who is standing not far from the mask seller. Talk to him and find out the details about the passage of the festival.

Meet Arataki and his gang. You can take part in the event after a dialogue with Gento.

There are seven melodies in total, each of which opens every day after the start of the event.

To start the game, open the events menu and select the melody you want to perform. There are also three types of difficulty: normal, heavy and Expert. Depending on the level, the rewards also differ. To get primogems, it is enough to pass the stage at the easiest level.

After selecting the difficulty, a mini-game will begin, where you need to press the corresponding buttons on the keyboard or screen as soon as the rhythm band narrows to the exact size of the selected circle:

• If you hit the target exactly, points are given.
• With several perfect hits in a row, a combo is obtained, for which the points are doubled.
• In case of failure, the points are not removed, but they are not added.

Sometimes long bars appear on the screen. In this case, it is necessary to hold down the corresponding button and hold it until the line ends.

Keep in mind that the rhythm points are both at the beginning and at the end of the band. Therefore, if you lower the button earlier, the combo gets lost.

Depending on the points scored, you can get a rating: lightness, euphonious, gentle and divine. All tests can be repeated to improve the result and get the desired rewards.

↑ How to calibrate the delay

In the settings menu, you can calibrate the device, change the rate of falling notes and the volume of the keys.

Press the space bar or left-click when the accented note sounds. Adjust the input line so that it roughly corresponds to the position of the note being played.

↑ How to create your own melody

In this version of the rhythm game, a tool for creating your own music with detailed settings will also appear - the Composition Editor mode, which opens after passing the melody.

↑ Normal editing mode

In basic mode, you can add notes as the track plays. To add a long note, hold down the enter button. The red rhythm lines serve as a system hint for the location of points, all notes will be attached to them. In this mode, you cannot delete or move the placed points.

↑ Advanced editing mode

Advanced mode involves changing the arrangement of notes based on the reference lines. You can change or delete both new and existing points in it. A total of three reference lines are shown:

• turquoise shows the progress of the melody playback;
• red is the rhythm line, the system's recommendation for placement;
• gray, almost transparent – time lines separating the editor depending on the selected rhythm.

In this mode, the added notes will be attached to the time lines. To add a long note, select the start and end points for automatic creation.
