Song Mode

Play along with synced audio + MIDI tracks using song mode.

Song mode will also include community content features. Anyone will be able to create and share songs using the web-based MIDI converter tool. It takes a MIDI track, lets you assign notes to strings (MIDI channels), and packages it with an audio file and config for the game. Try PixelFret Studio. Note that it is currently just a demo and not functional.
