There's a little easter egg on the song select screen: If you press up when on JAPAN the cursor will move to NASA, and pressing A or B will launch a rocket.

Use

The basic way to use it is to pick a backing track from a selection of genres, and play over the top. You have to use the controller to navigate the keyboard, but it snaps to notes that are in the same key as the music you've picked. Up and down move one note, left and right move by the amount of notes you've set (the • 1 2 3 slider).

Main screen
  • The red arrow in the top right only works in 'Play Mode', and lets you select the backing music.
  • The numbered VU meters represent the different tracks, and can be muted individually. Track one is the player.
  • The icons below that indicate the instrument.
  • The first four sliders above the keyboard don't seem to do anything? I assume ⤴ and ⤵ are attack and decay, and the others are sine and sawtooth waves. As mentioned, the numbers effect how many keys the cursor moves.
