Cue Match

The game

A target waveform scrolls in across an oscilloscope, and your own green trace is written live behind the playhead. Drag the booth’s gain and EQ faders until the two traces sit perfectly on top of each other — accuracy is scored per track, and the harder records add wobble that drifts the target out from under you. It all lives in a vinyl booth: black lacquer, a silver tonearm that tracks inward as the side plays, oscilloscope-green waves and a spinning 33⅓ turntable.

How to play

• Drag the GAIN fader until your trace’s height matches the dashed TARGET CUE; LOW / MID / HIGH shape the three bands and TEMPO locks the beat spikes to the grid.
• Keyboard alternative: press 1–5 to select a fader, then ← → (or ↓ ↑) to nudge it.
• Hold the CUE pad (or Space) to audition the target’s sound; M toggles monitor mute.
• P or Esc pauses the deck; Enter drops the needle and advances between tracks.
• Hold the match at 88% or higher to light LOCK and build your combo; each of the six tracks is graded S–D on average match, and drifting targets punish you when you stop chasing.
