What determines how many notes you must hit to increase the multiplier?

[iamchris4life]

It nevers seems to be consistent. Sometimes I have to hit many notes to increase the multiplier but sometimes it increases after hitting just a couple notes in succession.

How do I minimize the number of notes I need to hit to increase the multiplier?

It depends on the number of notes before the checkpoint.

[iamchris4life]

Could you elaborate that?

[www1221]

the more notes before the checkpoint the more notes it takes to level up that track. Its not a constant number not even in the same song.

So it's not dependent on how many note hits you chain together nor your performance in other lanes?

None of us know the specific algorithm. All we can say is that "the more notes there are between two checkpoints, the more notes are required to up the multiplier".

The best method to take advantage of this is to hit the most dense part of each instrument between any two gates.

So it's not dependent on how many note hits you chain together nor your performance in other lanes?

Not really. To an extent, though, in any one track, because if you miss notes or over strike, it gets pushed back, but that's all it does in terms of responding to your performance.

But does it depend on your location between the two checkpoints? www1221's post seems to suggest that. For example, if there is a constant pattern between two checkpoints in one lane, would I be better off trying to increase the multiplier for that lane closer to the 2nd checkpoint or the 1st checkpoint?

The number of notes needed to increase a multiplier is constant between any two checkpoints.

If a pattern is constant, it doesn't matter when you hit it, so you'd then decide when to hit it based on the other instruments' density.

But no, between two checkpoints, it is the same throughout.

The number of notes doesnt decrease the closer you are to the gate. If thats what you are asking.
