Overview
LittleBigStar is the worlds first next-generation music gaming and teaching software.
The project is an attempt to blend musical accompaniment with gaming elements and it is unique in supporting real instruments, real songs and real sound. LittleBigStar lets you setup a multiplayer band on any combination of instruments: real instruments, MIDI instruments and game controllers. You can play your favorite songs and make it sound right using VST effects and virtual instruments!
Playing LittleBigStar is not only about getting a high score, but also about learning to play as your favorite rock stars and making it sound right. It aims to be a means to improve your music skills as well as having a fun evening. You may find yourself playing music and playing with music.
LittleBigStar is FREE software for personal use (free, as in free beer), and currently runs on Windows XP and Vista. It defines an open platform and there is a SDK available for developers who wish to contribute. This way, new kinds of music games and MusicWare will emerge.

Mini F.A.Q.
Help, It doenst work!
Look for advice on the help page, then post in the forum.
My tab/score is not in synchronized to the music, what can I do?
When you create a new song, you'll need to run SmartSync. If you have downloaded a song, and its creator has used SmartSync, it should be in sync.
Will it work plugging my guitar directly into the soundcard (with a mini-jack adapter)?
Some have reported this to work, some have reported it to work much less well than through a dedicated guitar interface. Please try it out and give feedback of how well it works in the forum. This way, future versions of LittleBigStar will improve on the current solution.
