Overdrive
Overdrive (OD) is the
Rock Band⇒ version of
Star Power. While active, Overdrive double your multiplier. During OD, the highest possible multiplier is x8 for Guitar, Vocals and Drums. For Bass, the maximum multiplier is x12.
Unlike Star Power in the Guitar Hero series, Overdrive can be gained while it is active as it does not "cover up" the notes which award it. Also unlike Star Power, a full bar of Overdrive lasts for 32 beats instead of 8 measures. To complicate matters further, this isn't 32 beats in the sense of quarter notes on the note track: There is another set of data in the song chart which indicates the rate at which Overdrive is consumed. A full bar of Overdrive lasts for 32 of these markers. Most of the time this matches the previous definition, but sometimes it is twice that or half that, and on even rarer occasions the pattern doesn't match up to anything logical. The good news is that
User_ajanata ajanata's∞ charts∞ indicate this information as red lines above the note tracks: A full bar of Overdrive will last for 32 of the red lines.
