Game Overview
Ultrastar Deluxe is a free, open-source karaoke application inspired by the console singing titles. It lets you perform your favorite tunes using either a microphone or your computer, and supports both individual and group play. The software evaluates how closely your singing matches the original melody and timing, then assigns points based on accuracy.
Play Modes and Features
- Party or competitive multiplayer sessions for multiple singers at once
- Single-player practice and performance options for solo sessions
- Support for adding your own tracks and custom lyrics or scoring data
- Simple setups for quick games or deeper customization for advanced users
Adding Your Music
You can bring in virtually any song collection by importing audio files and associated lyric or chart data. The program accepts common file formats and lets you organize a personal library to play whenever you want.
How Scoring Works
The game analyzes two main elements of your performance: pitch and rhythm. It compares the notes you sing against the original vocal line and checks timing against the track’s tempo. Points are awarded proportionally to how closely you match both aspects, so precision and timing both matter.
Getting Started
- Install the application for your operating system.
- Connect a microphone or use your computer’s built-in input.
- Import songs into the library or choose from included samples.
- Select a mode (solo or multiplayer) and begin singing.
Have fun, practice to improve, and challenge friends to see who can hit the highest score!
