The integration with Synth Riders is seamless, enabling easy export of created maps directly into the game for immediate playtesting.

The music aspect of the game is enhanced by the ability to create and customize beatmaps, allowing players to map their favorite songs, although users report challenges with the mapping editor, including saving errors and a steep learning curve. While the custom song support is praised for its accessibility, particularly on Meta Quest, many users find the process complex and time-consuming, often requiring external tools like Audacity for song preparation. Overall, the potential for creativity is high, but the technical hurdles can be frustrating for those without a strong musical background.
- “This synth riders beatmap editor makes sense and feels natural to make a map with, and paired with custom song support allowed by default on Meta Quest standalone (unlike Beat Saber needing BMBF/MBF), I'm liking the idea of mapping for Synth Riders!”
- “Make your own beatmaps for the songs you love and would like to ride.”
- “The system can be a little difficult to get used to, but once you have a little time under your belt, you can get songs in pretty quickly.”
- “For some reason I can't save my work... it says error read-only and then some other stuff. The folder is not read-only. If you can get it to work, it's really cool, and I love that we have the ability to do it, but I was able to make one song a few years ago, saved a few times, and then got to a certain point and I couldn't save anymore.”
- “I had an idea for mapping a song in Beat Saber, but bailed out as soon as I found out there's no in-editor way to offset (their BPM manual was a long scroll of complexity).”
- “This literally has caused me to uninstall the application and reinstall it to see if that will allow for the flash/light effect to be placed where I want them to enhance the gameplay experience for the song I'm mapping.”

- “It's just too tedious to do anything.”
- “It's tedious if you want to perfect the beatmapping (as expected).”
