''SOUND VOLTEX'' (officially abbreviated as SDVX) is a member of {{Creator/Konami}}'s VideoGame/{{Bemani}} series of {{Rhythm Game}}s. It's a variation of ''VideoGame/{{beatmania}}'' with pretty much identical gameplay, in regards to the "hit the keys when they hit the line" part (but then again, aren't most rhythm games similar to that in the first place?). But instead of the familiar piano keys, it uses four square buttons in a row, accompanied by two larger "FX" buttons directly below them, along with effector knobs on both sides (which you must either slowly rotate in a certain direction, or quickly slam between sides).

* SomeDexterityRequired: At first, the gameplay premise seems simple enough: you hit six buttons and manipulate two analog knobs in accordance with the notes. However, harder charts will require you to frequently juggle between thw two input types. Two parameters on the Effect Radar on the song select basically determine how much of this trope will apply to the chart: "One-Hand" indicates how much you may have to use one hand on the knobs while using the other hand to hit the buttons, while "Hand-Trip" indicates how frequently you will have to cross your hands or similar technical maneuvers.

However, during the ''Sound Voltex II'' tournament at KAC (Konami Arcade Championships) 2013 in December, two songs with Exhaust charts rated level '''16''' were introduced to the finalists: "Bangin' Burst" and [[Music/{{cosMo}} "For UltraPlayers"]]. Both songs were added for non-tournament play later that month. A third level 16 chart, "Max Burning!!" on Infinite, was added in September 2014.
** As of June 2015, there are six songs with level 16 difficulty charts in total, specifically "Everlasting Message", "KAC 2012 ULTIMATE MEDLEY -HISTORIA SOUND VOLTEX-" and "大宇宙ステージ"; as well as the aforementioned songs. Two of these songs, "Everlasting Message" and "KAC 2012 ULTIMATE MEDLEY -HISTORIA SOUND VOLTEX-" were introduced in ''Sound Voltex III'', debuting during the final round of the ''Sound Voltex III'' tournament at The 4th KAC on February 2015, while "大宇宙ステージ" had been around since the first SDVX game, Sound Voltex Booth, simply receiving a GRV 16 chart in Gravity Wars.
*** "Everlasting Message" was the winner of The 4th KAC Original Song Contest, and therefore was given the honor of being the final track the finalists had to play during the 4th KAC, debuting with a difficulty of GRV 16.
** As of August 21st, 2015, four new songs with GRV 16s were introduced into the game ("AΩ", "Blastix Riotz", "Preserved Valkyria", and "[=XyHATTE=]").
** On September 17th, 2015, "XROSS INFECTION" (from ''Sound Voltex II'') received a GRV 16 as well, bringing the total number of 16s in SDVX to 11.
** In SDVX IV, Lachryma《Re:Queen’M》becomes the first chart to be rated 20 in the new scale. Following the trend is the two new KAC songs iLLness [=LiLin=] and [=HE4VEN=] (the final round songs), also rated a 20. Two new Level 20 songs, namely WHITEOUT and [=FIN4LE=] ～終止編の彼方へ～, were added as part of OMEGA DIMENSION EXTRA TRACK phase 1. I, the winning song of the 7th KAC, is the 6th song rated a 20.

When Phase 5 of the infamous Omega Dimension unlock system was announced, Chroma's "Made In Love" was shown at the top as a follow-up to his winning song "I". Many players had thought this was the final boss song due to being the biggest shown on the teaser... only for it to receive a Level 17 chart on Maximum. The excellence award winners didn't appear on the teaser too, but they served as the true final bosses of the phase, with Camellia's Xronièr being the only one of them rated a [[UpToEleven 20]].

** ''VIVID WAVE'' introduced a game mode called "AUTOMATION HEAVEN", which involves the player selecting four songs. The game then mixes all four of them in one 180 BPM set list, seamlessly transitioning between songs and charts throughout.
** ''EXCEED GEAR'' expanded upon the example above with "MEGAMIX BATTLE", this time with two players selecting a set of five songs to mix. The resulting set list is usually around eight minutes, and each player gets one opportunity during the match to select what song plays next amongst the songs that haven't been played yet amongst their selection.
