When using a physical MIDI controller, knobs, volume faders, and tempo sliders now remember their positions between sessions.

Your controller settings will remain consistent even after closing and reopening the game.

Crowds are now much more diverse and randomized!

Clothing, height, faces, and other visual characteristics are randomized to make each audience feel more natural and realistic.

• The Dance Wheel now always appears in front of the UI instead of being hidden behind the waveforms.

• Performing a dance move can now give you +5 Crowd.

• This bonus can be earned once every 60 seconds.

We've added a new mouse-assist feature for knobs!

When dragging knobs with the mouse, important positions can now snap into place, making precise actions much easier to perform.

• Cue Rhythm Practice

• 4 Cues + Play

• Sync OFF & Volume Transition

• The Party Must Go On

• Last DJ SUCKED

• Filter Before Drop

• Filter Volume Transition

• Echo Before Drop

DJ Life Simulator now features over 100 missions that can be randomly selected while you play!

This brings much more variety to Career Mode, with more objectives and challenges to complete during your journey from your bedroom to the mainstage.

• Fixed an issue where, after playing Episode 2, the minigame that automatically increases the volume could incorrectly start during Academy lessons or Free Play.

• Fixed an issue where making too many mistakes in Academy could cause you to fail because of the Crowd Meter, even in lessons where there is no crowd.

• Fixed an issue where the BEAT FX ON button would sometimes not work correctly with physical controllers.

• Improved camera behavior in the Small Club and Vortex stages.

Disconnecting a MIDI controller while the game is running may cause the game to crash.

Unfortunately, this is currently a limitation of the MIDI system used to maintain compatibility across the widest possible range of MIDI controllers.

For now, we recommend connecting or disconnecting your MIDI controller before launching the game.

Thank you to everyone playing, reporting bugs, suggesting features, and helping us improve DJ Life Simulator!

We're continuing to work on new content, improvements, controller support, and much more.

See you on the mainstage! 🎧🔥
