THE AMPLIFINDER and ARENA 51


                 The AmpliFinder looks and operates like an large, autonomous smartphone. Among
                 its many features, it alerts our human heroes to let them know when they’re
                 needed; and, it transports them through a magical/musical energy portal to Rhyth-
                 mos and back again.


                 It is the na�ve guide and map system, providing historic  and  cultural  background
                 on  any  given  region  our  heroes  are  about  to visit  and  explore  –  both  prepping
                 us  for  the  day’s  story  and  musical  genre,  as  well  as  providing some educa�onal
                 element. It speaks with a commanding, thespian, Sir Ian McKellan-like demeanour.
                 When  the  magical  energy  which  sustains  any  given  region  of  Rhythmos

                 depletes  enough to impact the environment, the ancient Mys�c Score hidden in
                 that region will send out an “S.O.S.” alert via trace magic – an alert detected by The
                 AmpliFinder (and, unfortunately, a similar device possessed by our villains – more on

                 them below). It is in this way that the AmpliFinder is able to lead our heroes to the
                 general loca�on of the Mys�c Score of today's episode. Once they manage to uncov-
                 er its exact whereabouts, the kids use their device to “scan and read” the nota�on
                 on the Score (like an iPhone app).


                 Once loaded into the device, if Tom or JoJo can properly hum, drum, whistle or clap
                 the notes, the device “synchronizes” – confirming that they are correct, then playing
                 back the tune in a basic beep (i.e., not “strong” enough to release the magic, which
                 they must accomplish by performing on REAL instruments; also note the interac�ve
                 play pa�ern, and that this would be the FIRST ITERATION of the new tune du jour).

                 Now they know they are on the right track to the next step:  Rehearsal! ARENA 51 is
                 the Rhythm Warriors' AIRSHIP/MOBILE CONCERT STAGE which is FULLY MODULAR in
                 order to suit the needs of any concert se�ng  (i.e., en�re setup with plasma screens

                 and “wall of sound” amps can be used for outdoor
                 fes�val style shows; or amps and ligh�ng rig can be
                 removed for a more in�mate se�ng in a natural
                 “amphitheatre”-style  cavern);  the  giant  plasma
                 screens  will  o�en  be  useful  in  reinforcing  the

                 curriculum  during  climac�c  performance
                 sequences,  as  we  again  see  the  nota�on  in
                 graphics while the kids perform to it in real �me.
