The Official FFR Picture Dictionary

Re: The Official FFR Picture Dictionary

I'm sorry. I was looking for info and searched on google and the old thread was the one that came up.



I was trying to figure out why the velocity engine was showing songs that I had AAA'd when I clicked hide full combo's.

It happens.

Re: The Official FFR Picture Dictionary

The database doesn't consider a AAA as an FC, so a query will just return one of the three 'states': non-FC, FC, or AAA.
A trick for getting something like "all non-FC'd songs of difficulty 8" is setting it to hide all and checking every other difficulty and hide AAAs and FCs. That's my favourite sort for spamming FCs

For 12th notes, you could add that, because stepcharts are written in 4/4 time, 12th notes carry the beat when you step a waltz or anything in 3/4 time. They also occur when 12th swing is used in 4/4 time.

... 192nd notes, but for the most part, they're the same thing as 4th notes.

Should say that they're basically the same thing as the note they're closest to, because they're not always right next to 4ths.
You could also add that 192 is 12 * 16, which may make them easier to visualize.
(FFR being 1/30 seconds per frame, any two notes 192nd apart will likely be on the same frame at any faster than 37.5 beats per minute.)

I think this would be confusing to people who don't spend a lot of time reading Western music notation.

That's a good point - it would probably also be useful to talk about every rhythm in terms of 4th notes, e.g. there are 4 16th intervals in a 4th note interval, 12 48th intervals, and so on.

Re: The Official FFR Picture Dictionary

To update this:

First of all, I don't actually see any explanation of what a jump is! I've heard people calling them "doubles" which is confusing, might be helpful to mention that the term originates from having to jump on a DDR dance pad to hit them.

Put the Hands and Quads along with the new Jump definition at the start of the patterns section- it's weird to say learn handstream before knowing what a hand is.

Other things to define: Anchors (or whatever the hell you want to call them) and jumpspams/jumpgluts. Just some more common terms people use. Also might be nice to define what FFR means by a "legacy song" as well as terms such as blue-note syndrome. Additionally could be useful to explain some of the settings visually too: what Mirror, Tornado, etc do as well as what the Offset and scroll rate mods affect.

Re: The Official FFR Picture Dictionary

The site I used to create these gifs went upgrade crazy and I'm no longer to make a gif that matches the same structure of the ones in this thread so the best I can do is rearrange and add explanations.

I can move hands and quads up after jump chains, but I'll just have to explain what a jump is in the explanation of jump chain.

gif I made for jumps is too huge:



EDIT: added gif anyway and jumpglut definition as well as moving hands and quads up.

Also mention grace notes are sometimes called "flams", stemming from the drum technique.
