Lane Breakers

Drag and drop your exported MIDI file with your chart into this bar.

If you have no venue in your MIDI, this dropdown menu will determine what kind of autogenerated venue will be used. Be aware that you need playtest sections for this to work, and it is highly discouraged to use an autogen venue for your final released build.

Decides which animation pool to use for the in-game characters. They include the following:

• Slow (under 100bpm)
• Medium (100-160bpm)
• Fast (over 160bpm)

Be aware that this doesn't change the actual tempo of the in-game animations, just what type of animations occur. If you pick “Slow” for a song that is way above 100bpm, all your characters will move very fast, and if you pick “Fast” for a song way below 160bpm everyone will move in slow motion, as an example.

If your chart has wildly fluxating tempos its usually better to pick a animation pool reflecting the highest tempo in the song. For example, if your song jumps between 100bpm and 180bpm, picking “Fast” will usually look the best.

This determines the note intervals required for a note to automatically become a Ho/Po on Guitar, Bass and 5-lane Keys. In most cases its best to leave this at 170 (default), but for faster songs it might also be worth bumping it up to 250 to make 5-lane Keys more fun to play if playing it on a guitar controller.

Determines the type of character to sing the song when nobody is playing the Vocals chart, either Male or Female.

Sadly there is no Non-Binary option like in Rock Band 4, so for NB singers pick which one seems closest to their preferred gender expression and write a note about the vocal gender online when posting your custom.

Picks which type of percussion instrument will be used for clap sections on Vocals:

• Tambourine
• Cowbell
• Hand Clap

Be sure to add a matching animation event in the Vocals track in your MIDI.

Determines how fast the vocal tubes and lyrics will scroll in-game. You usually don't want to go below the default (Normal - 2300), but if a song has a lot of fast lyrics in it (for example “They're Red Hot” by Red Hot Chili Peppers), you'll want to use one of these options:

• Medium Fast - 2150
• Fast - 2000
• Faster - 1850
• Crazy - 1700

Be sure to test it in-game with Scrolling Vocals on to make sure the lyrics don't trail off the notes. In extreme cases, such as certain Vocaloid songs, it might be impossible to achieve perfect results.

Changes the volume of the vocal guide pitch in practice mode. Usually best left alone.

If the vocals are between normal pitches (such as for old songs that are slightly sped up during mixing) use this to adjust it to work properly in-game. If needed, you'll probably already have adjusted this in ReaSynth during Vocal authoring, and you'll just have to use the same tuning value as there.

Allows for advanced pitch information on Harmonies. Best left disabled unless you know exactly what to do with it, as it is not needed.

Changes the volume of stems when missing notes. Best left alone in most cases.

What age rating your custom will have, shown in-game under more info. Useful in case somebody wanna play the game with their kids but don't want them picking very raunchy or scary songs, for example. Here are the ratings available:

1 - Family Friendly

• Song should be acceptable for a E10+ game, such as Lego Rock Band. Can contain mild references, innuendo or metaphors related to violence or drinking.

2 - Supervision Recommended

• Song should be acceptable for a T-rated game, such as Rock Band 3. Can contain some swears and suggestive language (for example “sex”, “damn”, “bitch”, ect.) as well as general references to things like violence, drinking/smoking, heavier topics and such.

3 - Mature

• Song would have to be in something with an M-rating, such as GTA or Saints Row, and would not fly in a normal Rock Band game uncensored. Includes hardcore swearing and sexual language (“fuck”, “shit”, etc.), promotion of hard drugs, immensely gory details and other stuff no child should be singing.

4 - Unrated

• Default leftover from RBN. Only use for playtesting versions where you haven't decided on an age rating yet.
