Default Re: [PAD] Gott - Sound Voltex - SX 13

I'm going to have to side with Mollo in the generally negative review -- it's sometimes acceptable to have straight 8th jumps, but it's not very fun to have to do them at that high of a tempo.

Your mini-holds in the chorus are double-accenting; that is, you're using freezes exclusively for a rhythm that also clearly follows the melody. This makes the mini-hold usage absolutely useless in many places. Outside of this, they just look sloppy in the 16th streams.

I will however disagree with Mollo with regards to the triplets -- at 195, the triplet usage is pretty tasteful and reasonably done to syncopate with the song, and to me, they're an alright way to open the song. The streams at the end definitely could use some work in patterning, and the jumps separating the streams need to be used a bit more carefully as well: if you're using jumps and not chaining an 8th note to the jump in question at this speed (chaining = repeating one of the two steps contained within the jump), you run a massive risk of having the player choose the wrong direction to start streams, and you definitely don't want that. Every instance of [14] jumps into some variant of 23 poses this problem.
