Ensemble Live

<tabber>
Overview=
==Overview==
Ensemble Live (あんさんぶるライブ) is a Multiplayer Live in Music utilizing online play. It is a multiplayer live where you can either play with friends or get randomly matched with other producers.
Prior to the release of Ensemble Live, a beta-mode was available, named Live with Everyone (みんなでライブ). The official version was launched 3/15/2021 (15:00 JST).
===Introduction===
Through utilizing Ensemble Live, producers can perform lives together. The basic steps are as follows:
* Select and organize your unit through the Ensemble Live screen.
* Select one of the three hall types to participate (Standard, Grand, MV Enjoy)
* Matching begins until 5 producers are available (Private Halls can be played with 2-5 players)
* Select a song for the Live
* Earn items and bonuses upon clearing the Live!
During event periods, you can earn points through Ensemble Lives as long as BP is consumed, like Normal Lives.
A stable network connection is recommended for Ensemble Live.
===How to Participate===
Producers are matched with other producers depending on the Hall they join. There are three types of halls;
* Standard Hall: For everyone to participate in
* Grand Hall: Available to producers whose unit's total points exceed a certain number.
* Private Hall: For producers to join other producer's rooms via Hall IDs.
For more details on Private Halls, please refer to the Private Hall tab.
===Prior to Live Notes===
Song Selection
* Music will be selected at random out of the songs selected by each participant.
* If you choose Let Others Choose (お任せ), it will be treated as a blank vote. If everyone selects it, music will then be selected at random out of the entire list.
※Songs do not have any attributes in Ensemble Live. The original member bonus will also not be applied. Feel free to choose any song you like. No preview music will play for songs in where the song data download has not been completed.
Song Data Download
In order to reduce the waiting time, it is recommended to download song data in advance.
If it takes more than a set amount of time for a producer to download their data while waiting for a Live to begin, the live may start with the producers who have already downloaded the data.
Both individual song downloads and batch downloads can be performed from the Menu → Data Management Room (データ管理室) → Song Data Management (楽曲データ管理).
BP Use
* Like Normal Lives, using BP will increase the experience, fans, item drops, and number of item drops in Ensemble Live.
* BP consumption options are selected on the difficulty selection screen, and BP is consumed once the data download is completed.
For more information on BP, refer to the Music Rhythm Game Guide.
Regarding Event Points
Since the beta version, the amount of Event Points that can be acquired through Ensemble Live has been increased, so that the event can be enjoyed the same way as one would through Normal Lives.
* During the event period, you can earn points like a Normal Lives by using 1 or more BP.
* In addition, you can earn Event Points through My Score Bonuses (マイスコアボーナス) and Ensemble Live Bonuses (あんさんぶるライブボーナス) due to everyone's score in the Hall.
* If the number of players decreases due to a network error, etc, the Ensemble Live Bonus will be adjusted based on the amount of players to account for the lower total score.
※Point distribution may be changed in the future.
===Sticker Shop===
Sticker tickets can be used to exchange stickers via the Sticker shop. These stickers can then be used during the matching and result portions of Ensemble Live.
The Sticker shop can be accessed through the Ensemble Live screen.
Sticker tickets have the possibility of dropping after a successful Ensemble Live. Using BP will increase it's drop rate like it does any other item.

===Unit Formation===
The same unit formations as Normal Lives will be used. See more information on unit formation here.
* Live Skills and Support Skills will affect only your own performance and not those of the other players.
* Center Skills will not be activated in Ensemble Lives.
* In the Private Hall, you can reorganize even after matching stars until the room host selects Start With These Members (このメンバーで開始).
Daily Bonus Attributes
The attribute bonus will change each day. Organizing cards with the same attribute will give a bonus to the unit's overall score.
During New Unit Song Events and Shuffle Events, bonus attributes will be fixed.
===Matching Details===
* 1P to 5P will be assigned in the order of matching.
* Producers who play in 3D mode will be selected with other players in 3D Mode. It will be difficult to be matched with producers who have the same center idol in their organization.
* Producers who play in 2D mode will be selected with other players in 2D Mode. 
Matching Idol
* Each producer's Matching Idol (マッチングアイドル) is displayed as their icon once matching is completed.
* The Matching Idol is the idol at the center of each respective player's unit formation.
* If two or more producers have the same Matching Idol, the producers down the list will have their Matching Idol automatically switched to the second, third, etc. idol in their unit formation.
Data Download
* Data download begins after the producer selects their difficulty level.
* If it takes more than a set amount of time for a producer to download their data while waiting for a Live to begin, the live may start with the producers who have already downloaded the data.
* If the data download is canceled, the live will be played in 2D Mode.
Solo Mode
* In cases where data download took too long or an error occurs during the process, the Ensemble Live will begin in Solo Mode (シングルモード).
* Although the Live is performed solo, the score calculation will be through the Ensemble Live system.
* If you perform through Solo Mode, you will not be able to check the full results of the Ensemble Live, but will get the success bonuses based on everyone else's Lives.
* Sticker tickets do not drop through Solo Mode.
During event periods, you will not get any event points through Matching Bonuses or Ensemble Live Bonuses, but a fixed amount of points will be rewarded.
===Lives===
* Factors in Lives, such as passing, score, combo count, voltage, and Ensemble Time will be counted individually.
* If the voltage does not reach the quota, the Live will be failed. Your score will be added to the Ensemble Live score, but bonus items and experience will not be earned.
* Whether you pass or fail the Live will not be shared with other producers.
MVs
* Each producer's Matching Idol will participate in the MV.
* If there are less than 5 idols in the MV, the participants will be counted from 1P, and down the list.
* 1P's Matching Details will be the performer for Ensemble Time.
* Whether or not the Ensemble Live is a success depends on each player.
* For more information on Matching Idols, see Matching Details until the Details tab.
===Results===
* The Matching Bonus is added on-top of everyone's Live score when the final Ensemble Live score is displayed.
* The final score of the Ensemble Live determines the Ensemble Live score rank.

※If a producer finishes their Live late, the Ensemble Live result may be calculated only for the producers who have finished their Live by a certain time. Please note that the Live results of producers who ended their Lives after the calculation will not be reflected. Individual results will have to be checked.
Matching Bonus
* Matching Bonuses (マッチングボーナス) occur when idols are matched in a specific combination, or when factors of their Live results match up. They are added to the Score and My Score (マイスコア).
