Trill/Jack Practice

[HammyMcSquirrel]

I randomly came up with this idea to make a file that pertains to practicing trills and jacks. (I'm not sure if a similar idea has been passed across for just this purpose. If it has, I haven't heard of it.) You can find the download link for the file at the end of this post, but I suggest you read through all of the post. It isn't that long of a read. =P

DarkbearX whipped up a quick mp3 that has 16th beats starting at 50bpm, all the way up to 999bpm. The length of each bpm increment goes like this...
50bpm-140bpm: Two measures.
140bpm-400bpm: Eight measures.
400bpm-999bpm: 16 measures.

There are pauses between each separate trill for a small rest.

Yes, it is pretty pointless to have 16th trills going higher than 400bpm, since anything beyond that doesn't seem within reach to any player. I made trills go up to 999bpm because I figured, "Why the hell not?" You can turn fail off and try to trill that fast if you want to break your fingers off, haha. The file is for practice, anyways, and it isn't meant to be passed.

I included a text document with the bpms used in this file, as well as which difficulty contains each trill. I understand I could have made just one difficulty and had people mirror that trill or turn it left/right, but having a different type of trill per difficulty lets you compare your different top scores per trill setup. I do not have a difficulty that contains a left and right arrow trill. Sorry. ):

Here are the bpms used in this file. (Enable your background to view the current bpm while playing the file.) :

BPMS:
50
80
110
140
170
192
210
240
270
300
330
363
400
430
471
490
519
545
583
620

720
758
791
817
851
888
925
951
981
999

Also, here are the difficulties containing each different type of trill:

Beginner: Left/Down trill.
Easy: Right/Up trill.
Standard: Right/Down trill.
Heavy: Left/Up trill.
Oni: Up/Down trill.
Edit: Jacks.

Edit contains jacks on one arrow. I saw no point in making multiple difficulties for that when you can just switch your finger.

I also thought of a fun idea involving challenges with this. I will include different ideas in my next post, as well as have a top score list per challenge. If people find it fun/interesting, I'll keep it updated.

Special thanks to DarkbearX for making the mp3 for this. I hope people find this to be helpful, fun, and challenging at the same time. Feel free to post any suggestions in this thread. Thanks!
