Introduction[]
On the Groove Radar, the Voltage (Japanese: 爆炎の, Romaji: bakuen no, lit. Of a Burning Flame) aspect represents the highest visual density of notes (not to be confused with the overall density of a song's chart). This is not referring to the fastest segment of a song (e.g. Valkyrie dimension's 8ths at 480 BPM or 16 steps per second), but the segment with the most notes packed on screen (e.g. London EVOLVED ver.A's 32nd notes at 42.5 BPM for 2 measures).
The song that holds the coveted maximum Voltage value of 200 has always changed in every new game since DDR SuperNOVA2 (with the exception of DDR X). In DDR SuperNOVA2 and X, PARANOiA ~HADES~ was the holder of the 200 Voltage value, with its Challenge charts. In DDR X2, POSSESSION became the next 200 Voltage value holder with its Expert and Challenge charts (all have a measure-long 16th note stream at 185 BPM), with PARANOiA ~HADES~'s Challenge charts having a then-new Voltage value of 196. In DanceDanceRevolution X3 VS 2ndMIX, the new song with the highest Voltage value of 200 was London EVOLVED ver.A, with its Challenge and Single Expert charts. As of DDR 2013, Blew My Mind's Challenge charts have the highest Voltage value of 200.
Your maximum number of combos attained on a chart divided by 10 will affect how the Voltage value on your My Groove Radar will increase. For example, if you finish POSSESSION on Single Expert on DDR X2 with only a maximum combo of 582, your My Groove Radar Voltage value would be 190/10=19.
How to Calculate Voltage[]
To find the Voltage value of a song's chart, follow these steps below.
Average BPM[]
The average BPM of a song can be found in this equation: , where a is the average BPM, m the number of beats in the song, and l the length of the song in seconds. If the song has no BPM changes and stops at all, the average BPM is the BPM of the song (e.g. Horatio's average BPM is 165).
HINT: The length of a song is from the “HERE WE GO” message to the “CLEARED” message.
Example 1: London EVOLVED ver.A is 404 beats long and 102.971 seconds long.
- m=404 and l=102.971
- a = 60*m/l
- a = 60*(404)/102.971
- a = 235.406085
Example 2: Across the nightmare has 410 beats long and 82 seconds long.
- m=102.5 and l=82
- a = 60*m/l
- a = 60*(410)/82
- a = 300
Maximum Note Density[]
Next, find the maximum note density by finding the measure (any four consecutive quarter beats; it does not always have to start on a 4th note or at a measure's first beat) with the highest number of notes (e.g. PARANOiA Revolution's Single Expert chart has 16 notes in one of its measures, the highest density of all measures in the chart) including Shock Arrows.
For more information, see the Gallery below.
Maximum Note Density Per Minute[]
Find the maximum note density per minute by solving this equation: , where e is the maximum density per minute, a the average BPM, and d the maximum density of the notes. e will always be an integer.
Example 1: London EVOLVED ver.A (Single Expert/Challenge) has 26 notes in 4 beats.
- d=26 and a=235.406085
- e = ad/4
- e = 235.406085*26/4
- e = 1,530
Example 2: Across the nightmare (Single Expert/Challenge) has 8 notes in 4 beats.
- d=8 and a=300
- e = ad/4
- e = 300*8/4
- e = 600
Final Voltage Value[]
Calculating the final Voltage value will come down to two parts depending on the value of e, and whether you want to find the Voltage value for DDR SuperNOVA2 / DDR X, DDR X2, DDR X3 VS 2ndMIX, or DDR 2013.
NOTE: The equations for Single Play and Doubles Play are the same.
DDR SuperNOVA2 / DDR X Equations[]
If the maximum note density per minute is 600 or more, then find the final Voltage value (which will be represented by v in the following equations) by solving this equation:
If the maximum note density per minute is 600 or less, then divide e by 6.
Example: PARANOiA ~HADES~ (Challenge)'s maximum density per minute is 1,302.
- e is higher than 600
- Voltage Value = (e+102)*100/702
- Voltage Value = (1302+102)*102/702
- Voltage Value = 200
DDR X2 Equations[]
This new equation, , is used instead.
As with DDR SuperNOVA2 and DDR X, if the maximum note density per minute is 600 or less, then divide e by 6.
Example: POSSESSION (Expert/Challenge)'s maximum density per minute is 1,329.
- e is higher than 600
- Voltage Value = (e+129)*100/729
- Voltage Value = (1329+602)*100/729
- Voltage Value = 200
DDR X3 VS 2ndMIX Equations[]
This new equation, , is used instead.
As with the previous games, again, if the maximum note density per minute is 600 or less, divide e by 6.
Example: London EVOLVED ver.A (Challenge)'s maximum density per minute is 1,530.
- e is higher than 600
- Voltage Value = (e+330)*10/93
- Voltage Value = (1530+330)*10/93
- Voltage Value = 200
DDR 2013 Equations[]
This new equation, , is used instead.
As with the previous games, once again, if the maximum note density per minute is 600 or less, divide e by 6.
Example: Blew My Mind (Challenge)'s maximum density per minute is 1,794.
- e is higher than 600
- Voltage Value = (e+594)*100/1194
- Voltage Value = (1794+594)*100/1194
- Voltage Value = 200
Average BPM | Maximum Density | Maximum Density Per Minute | Game | Final Voltage Value |
---|---|---|---|---|
150 | 16 | 600 | All games | 100 |
325.5 | 16 | 1,302 | DDR SuperNOVA2 / DDR X | 200 |
↑332.25 | 16 | ↑1,329 | DDR X2 | 200 |
↑382.5 | 16 | ↑1,530 | DDR X3 VS 2ndMIX | 200 |
↑448.5 | 16 | ↑1,794 | DDR 2013 | 200 |
Discrepancies[]
One discrepancy of the Voltage value is that despite not having the same density as another chart on the same song, the Voltage value may be shown as either being higher than, lower than, or the same as the other chart's Voltage value. PARANOiA Revolution's Double Expert chart is shown on the Groove Radar as having 158 Voltage, yet the actual value is 138.
