What is LittleBigStar?
See this post.
Who is behind LittleBigStar?
LittleBigStar is the product of a single developer in the rainy north. Rain, and its inherited ability to make people stay indoor, is the reason that it was possible to create a game within just 10 months. Also, having a family, support and relief from daily practical doings was a great help.
Playing real instruments - too good to be true, does it really work?
Yes, well… kind of. Automatic recognition of notes and chords is difficult and extremely dependant on the type of audio signal. When LittleBigStar is played with a proper interfaced clean guitar, it does remarkably well. But nothing is perfect - some notes will not be recognized and sometimes unplayed notes are detected. In particulat, there is a weakness in recognizing chords. The implementation of LittleBigStar is bound by current state-of-the-art research in the field. Hopefully it will be a good experience for most - and if you will feel disappointed, remember that this is FREE software (for personal use) and that the hard working developer is devoting all his free time to improve it for future versions.
Playing real songs - too good to be true, does it really work?
Yes. It works. If you want to play anlong a real song audio file, you’ll have to use accurate score files so that score and audio will be in sync. There are probably thousands of accurate score files out there.
Which songs are in LittleBigStar?
None. Because of copyright issues no songs are bundled with the download. Score files are copyrighted just like audio files. However, you can create or find your own score- and audiofiles.
