Major New Feature - Practice Mode
[p]Practice Mode can now be enabled
during a song and gives you powerful tools to improve your performance.[/p]
Practice Mode Features
- [p]Scrub freely through the song[/p]
- [p]Create loop sections to repeat difficult parts[/p]
- [p]Tempo control to slow down or speed up practice[/p]
- [p]Optional hit window overlay to visualize timing accuracy[/p]
[p]⚠️ Practice Mode is a one-way street:
Once enabled, the run can no longer count as a clear. Restart the song when you’re ready for a full performance.[/p][p]This mode is designed to make learning songs and pushing precision scores much more approachable.[/p]
Improvements & Changes
Linux Metadata Editor
[p]A
native Linux build of the Tomo Jam Metadata Editor is now bundled with the game:[/p][p][c]tools/Tomo Jam Metadata Editor/Linux[/c][/p]
Better MIDI Scanning
[p]MIDI scanning now
recursively searches all subfolders within your selected MIDI directory but keeps the parent folder as a collapsbile allowing for organization.[/p][p]Example:
If your MIDI folder is set to [c]C:/Midis[/c], Tomo Jam will now automatically find files like:[/p]
- [p][c]C:/Midis/MyBand/Album1/Midi1.mid[/c][/p]
- [p][c]C:/Midis/MyBand/Album2/Midi2.mid[/c][/p]
- [p][c]C:/Midis/MyBand/Midi3.mid[/c][/p]
[p]No more manual folder cleanup needed[/p]

[p]Tomo Jam now includes a much larger set of built-in genres to help organize and browse your growing song library.[/p][p]
Available Genres:Undefined
Classical • Anthem • Rock • Jazz • Pop • Metal • Electronic • Country
Hip Hop / Rap • R&B / Soul • Blues • Latin • World / Folk • JPOP
