Skinnable sounds

.wav, .mp3, and/or .ogg are valid formats for sounds.

Interface

Main menu

Notes:

• For seeya.wav and welcome.wav:

  • osu!supporter is required to modify.
  • This can be disabled by unchecking osu! music theme in the options.

Keys

Clicks

Hover

Drag

Multi

Metronome

metronomelow.wav

Notes:

• In the beatmap editor, this plays for the small white ticks; however, the beatmap editor will only use the default sounds.
• Despite the above, this can be skinned for the offset wizard and the bananas in osu!catch (pitch goes up per caught banana).

Gameplay

The following gameplay sounds are all beatmap skinnable.

Countdown

• count.wav:

  • This replaces the count{n}s sounds (if one sound is wanted).
  • This is also the metronome for the Target Practice mod.
• count1s.wav
• count2s.wav
• count3s.wav
• gos.wav
• readys.wav

Playfield

Notes:

• comboburst.wav:

  • For multiple sounds, use comboburst-{n}.wav.
  • In the skin.ini, if CustomComboBurstSounds is set to 1, comboburst-{n}.wav must be used.
• failsound.wav:

  • Not intended to last longer than the fail animation (about 5 seconds).
  • Using a long audio track will impact the game client’s performance, as it is loaded each time you play a beatmap, even if you never fail. It isn’t supposed to be bigger than a few kilobytes.
• fountain-shoot.wav:

  • This sound is only used in the Lazer version of the game. It has no effect in osu!(stable).
  • The sound is played with the fountain animation at the beginning of each kiai section in a map.
  • It will also play in the main menu when the client has focus.

Rank display (Lazer only)

In the Lazer version of the game, new rank display components were added for skinning in the osu!editor. The following audio elements can be used to skin these. They have no effect in osu!(stable).

The rank display sounds will play only if at least one rank display component is added in your current skin.

Notes:

• rank-down.wav will play immediately after you lose the highest letter rank, but any further rank changes are delayed by up to 1.5 seconds.

Game screens

These sounds are not supposed to be bigger than a few kilobytes, as using a long audio track will impact the game client’s performance.

applause.wav:

• The sound is played on the ranking screen after clearing a map.
• Should be formatted as .mp3 or .ogg in beatmaps aiming for rank.

In the Lazer version of the game, you can set which audio plays per letter grade. However, they have no effect in osu!(stable), and applause.wav will always be played there.

applause-{g}.wav

Notes:

• {g} can be replaced with the letter grades S, A, B, C, or D.
• You cannot play any sounds for the letter grade F, because the result screen is never reached when you fail.

pause-loop.wav:

• The sound is played when the game is paused.
• This sound is looped.
• Fades out when the client loses focus.

Hitsounds

Hitsounds should not have any more than a 5 millisecond delay, unless it has a special purpose.

spinnerbonus-max.wav:

• In the Lazer client, this sound plays instead of spinnerbonus.wav if the maximum score has already been achieved on the spinner. It has no effect in osu!stable.

Nightcore mod

• nightcore-kick.wav is played on beats 1 and 3
• nightcore-clap.wav is played on beats 2 and 4
• nightcore-hat.wav is played on every odd quaver, but only if the slider tick rate of the beatmap is a multiple of 2
