- Support for more than the standard acoustic and synth kit setups when using the drum composer.
- Automatically read the contents of Sounds/Drums/ and list the folders in the composer menu.

User guide
Drum Simulator:
- It gives you all the buttons on the PSP to use to your disposal to smash and crash on a virtual kit.
- Once you've had enough making up your own beats you can access the music player and load music out of your ms0:/MUSIC/ directory.
Guitar Simulator:
- By using the Analog stick to strum and buttons to cycle through chords, you can play the chords like you would on a real guitar.
Composer:
- Those who have trouble keeping in time can use the composer to create their own music.
- The composer gives you two bars two mess around with, adding notes in quarter, eighth and sixteenth note positions and supports drums and guitar.
Note: Make sure the Sounds/Drums/ folder contains every sound needed or the program will crash.
