There's a lot of singing in
My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic. Good singing. And awesome music too.
I'm pretty sure anyone who watched an episode felt the urge to sing along. Well, that's the very goal of the Karaoke Project!
The MLP:FiM Karaoke Project aims at creating quality song packs for Singstar clones, such as UltraStar (http://ultrastardx.sourceforge.net/) or Performous (http://performous.org/).
So what is UltraStar?QuoteUltraStar is a clone of SingStar, a music video game. UltraStar lets one or several players score points by singing along to a song or music video and match the pitch of the original song well. UltraStar displays lyrics as well as the correct notes similar to a piano roll. On top of the correct notes UltraStar displays the pitch recorded from the players.
UltraStar is basically to
Singstar what
Stepmania is to
DDR. It's an open-source project, and allows for custom tracks designed by its users.
Aim of this projectThe goal of the Karaoke Project is to provide songpacks for Ultrastar, for all possible languages.
- All tracks should be perfectly synced, with pitch-perfect on-screen vocals and an appropriate background video (no watermarks, color-corrected).
- SD versions are the regular releases, with stereo sound, while keeping a reasonable file size and allowing for a smooth playback on all computers.
- HD versions should be over-the-top, with (possibly) 5.1 surround sound and 1080p video.
- Vocals are here if you wish to sing along. Instrumental versions (or, when not possible to get the optimal file, voice-removed songs) will let you sing solo.
- A pack with only the txt files will also be released, if you do not wish to download the videos nor the songs.
First milestone: the english stereo pack.
Bronies, I'm counting on you to help!There's a lot to do, including helping others out, providing lyrics, high-quality media, syncing, and misc suggestions. ;)
