The IIDX Sud Plus Calculator provides a detailed analysis of sudden+ values across various play speeds and BPMs, offering insights into how these factors interact for a range of songs.
At a play speed of 345 and a BPM of 180, the Sudden values vary significantly depending on the Hi-Speed setting. When Hi-Speed is turned off, the Sudden value is 643. As the Hi-Speed increases to 0.5, the Sudden value drops to 465, and it continues to decline to 286 at 1.0, 197 at 1.5, and further down to 19 at 2.0. At a Hi-Speed of 2.5, the Sudden value is 108, but it plunges into negative territory starting at 3.0 with a value of -71, reaching -428 at a Hi-Speed of 5.0.
In terms of actual multipliers, the values range from 1 at Hi-Speed off, to 4 at a Hi-Speed of 5.0. The Total BPM is calculated as 504.3478261, derived from the formula (BPM * Actual Multiplier) * (1000 / (1000 - Sudden)). This calculation highlights how the Sudden value impacts the effective BPM when adjusted for speed.
The Sudden+ Listing section outlines specific BPMs against various Hi-Speed settings. For instance, at a BPM of 84, the corresponding values range from 833 at Hi-Speed off down to 334 at a Hi-Speed of 5.0. Meanwhile, at a BPM of 100, the values are slightly lower, starting at 802 and dropping to 207 across the same Hi-Speed settings. A BPM of 110 shows values from 782 down to 128, while 120 sees a range from 762 to 48.
As the BPM increases to 130, the Sudden values begin to reflect a more pronounced drop, starting at 742 and decreasing to -31 by the time Hi-Speed reaches 5.0. This trend continues with BPMs of 140 and 150, where the values at Hi-Speed off are 722 and 703, respectively, but both drop into negative values at higher speeds.
At BPMs of 180, the Sudden values are significant, with 643 at Hi-Speed off and decreasing to -428 at Hi-Speed 5.0. This pattern of decreasing Sudden values continues for BPMs of 190, 200, and beyond, with notable negative values appearing as the Hi-Speed increases. For example, at a BPM of 200, the Sudden values range from 603 at Hi-Speed off to -586 at Hi-Speed 5.0, while at BPM 210, the values drop from 584 to -666.
The trend persists with higher BPMs, such as 290 and 310, where Sudden values reach as low as -1300 at Hi-Speed 5.0 for a BPM of 290, and -1459 for a BPM of 310. The extreme negative values are particularly evident at BPMs of 390 and 400, where Sudden values are -2093 and -2172, respectively, at the highest speed setting.
It is important to note that any Sudden+ values presented in red indicate negative values, which should be ignored when considering playable settings. This comprehensive calculator serves as a valuable tool for players looking to optimize their gameplay experience based on specific song BPMs and play speeds.
