MaestroLive 1.5 was released today. This is a major upgrade to MaestroLive 1.0. The main emphasis on this new release is turning MaestroLive into a community – adding features such as comparing hi-scores with other players, posting comments for each song, making song request and the ability to see in “real time” which songs other MaestroLive players around the world are playing.
MaestroLive is a musical community game that lets anyone play songs by tapping the rhythm of the song on a computer keyboard or on an attached MIDI keyboard. MaestroLive gives you a score for your performance. When you finish playing a song you can save your score to the MaestroLive network and compare it with previous scores of that song or with other player’s scores. Each song has its on set of scores.
You don’t have to know how to play music to play with MaestroLive. Any key you press will play the next event (next note/s) – by tapping the “correct” rhythm you will be playing the song.
MaestroLive can also teach you how to play “for real” if you have a MIDI keyboard attached to your computer. MaestroLive will visually show you what notes need to be played next – if you don’t play the correct notes it wont move to the next event. By playing the notes you are playing the song “for real”.
