What settings and progression information do
The Note Timing command menu and UI improvements concern control adjustment and song discovery. The Pumbility revision concerns how records appear as progression and ranking information. Read those intended roles alongside the values shown in the actual menus.
For production, ask where a setting appears, when it takes effect and how progression information helps players choose another song. These are our application questions. Detailed ranges and formulas need the published menus and rules.

New cabinets and upgrade options
Official material separates installation in new LX cabinets from upgrades to compatible hardware. It describes paths for models including LX, CX, TX and FX, SSD upgrades and configurations requiring a main box. Operators need to match those requirements to their hardware.
The paid base-version upgrade and planned periodic free content updates cover different stages. Give each product, version and condition its own description so the initial cost and later content plans stay clear.

Keep regional plans and server transitions distinct
At the July 1 announcement, Andamiro planned a July 9 Korean release and July 20 US shipping. Those remain plans at that date in this report. Confirmed installation and current availability need later regional information.
The announcement leaves the existing Phoenix server's closing date to a later notice and says local play will remain after server support ends. Track the server functions and local play separately, then link the confirmed date when it is announced.
