The music aspect of the game is enhanced by a custom song editor that allows players to create their own beatmaps, though users report a steep learning curve and technical issues, such as saving errors and specific placement restrictions for effects. While the editor is praised for its intuitive design and the ability to support custom songs, many users struggle with the intricacies of mapping and note placement, often feeling overwhelmed by the complexity of the process. Overall, the potential for creativity is high, but it requires patience and practice to master.
“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.”
“It's a slight learning curve to it, but after experimenting with one song, my skills improved that much more for the second song I made.”
“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.”
