Band Master is the rhythm game brought into 2010, developed by Dyson (Piper Games). This novel concept with online gaming provides more instruments and game modes than any other rhythm game. It is similar to other popular music band games. The corresponding keys are pressed to respond to the indicator scrolling down the screen. Press the right keys at the right time for the amount of time indicated and recreate the music chosen.
There are 6 instruments to master in the game: guitar, bass, drums, piano, synthesizer, and brass. As long as you can follow the rhythm, the six instruments available cover a wide enough range to satisfy most any artistic personality.
Band Master's game modes immerse gamers in either cooperative or competitive environments, making it fun for any one of any age.

There are various game modes in Band Master to cater to your play style. If you love to play with friends and jam, there are cooperative types of game modes: SOS Mode and Concert Mode. For those who want the thrill of competing against more seasoned players, there’s the Score Battle Mode and Shutter Battle Mode.
What’s great is you can practice alone in Practice Mode for as long as you want before you actually play with other players! There’s even a Community Mode where you can go around, meet new friends, and hang out with old friends and just enjoy music.
Practice Mode
This mode simply allows warming up or honing of music skills. Practice solo with a selected song, and check progress with the accuracy scored.
SOS Mode
Play with friends and other Band Master players and finish the song with no retired players. All players start with their energy bar half-filled. The energy bar is located at the bottom of the note window.
Each time you do a note combo, you fill your energy bar. But, every time you miss a note, your energy bar decreases.
Concert Mode
Play a trio in this mode! This mode allows a maximum of 3 players. Each player will be allowed to play only one instrument. Once an instrument is chosen, the remaining band members must choose a different instrument.
Versus Mode
Individual : This is the battle of the best between five players. Each player displays their skill with their given instrument by battling other players with the same instrument. Highest score wins bonus BUX, and the room ownership is transferred to the winner.
Band: This is a battle between bands. Each band must play a song to its completion while the performance is rated. Highest team score wins bonus BUX, and the room ownership i transferred to any member of the winning group.
Shutter Battle Mode
Choose between Individual Shutter Battle or Team Shutter Battle. The objective? Wipe everyone out (except teammates, if you’re in a Team Shutter), it’s as simple as that.
Community Mode
Community mode allows players to meet new people, see friends, and casually jam in various community areas. Those within this mode interact with other members to find potential band mates or just to hold their own jam sessions.
