The Synth Riders Beatmap Editor is a free tool for Windows that allows you to take your own music and choreograph movements to match! With this tool you can place notes, obstacles and rails so that they synchronise with the music, which you can then load and play as a Custom Song in Synth Riders.
Core Features:
- Rebindable hotkeys
- Customizable note colours
- Place, move and rotate obstables
- Edit rails by adding, moving or deleting rail nodes without replacing the rail
- Smart object scrolling - quickly jump between objects of a given type (notes, rails, obstacles)
- Change the comfort grid style or toggle it off completely for a clear view
- Toggle snap-to-grid to allow free placement or change the grid size for smaller precision placement
- Create bookmarks and switch between next/previous with a hotkey
- Custom difficulty with customizable note jump speed
