Intro

Detailed Breakdown of all SS Clone Map Formats

Hi, there have been a fair share of Sound Space clones. The only reason this Google Doc exists is because there has been a lot of confusion (including me) regarding how the map formats work for every clone, and I’m here to explain the behind the scenes and how they work.

This is also aimed at programmers for understanding the format too, but if you just want to know the behind the scenes then that is fine too!

You are also going to see the word “quantum” a lot. The meaning of this is a note that is not aligned to the 3x3 grid (for example, we have a note at -1,0 on the x, y axis, a quantum note would be -1.5, 0)

If you are new to handling binary in programming, then take a look at these examples which basically give you insight on how to use the API in said languages
