In Maestro VR's Creative Mode you can load midi files that will be detected by the virtual orchestra and you can conducting by manipulating the tempo.
In this video we can see a demonstration of how Maestro VR recognizes custom midi files. For recognition, the midi file must have some minimal modifications: The trackname followed by the number of musicians you want on stage. For example if you want there to be 3 clarinets, the clarinet track in the midi file should be called "Crarinet 3", if you want 1 clarinet: "Clarinet 1", and so on with the whole orchestra. There will be documentation with instructions on how to modify your midi files for conducting. To edit midi files you can use free software like Musescore or Crescendo, or paid software like Cubase or Logic.
Very soon we will open the early access, therefore the demo will no longer be available. Soon more news.

Online Mode: This mode allows you to join other players as a spectator, both in normal mode and in creative mode. You will be able to throw tomatoes at the player if you don't like their conducting.
Batons with skills: The Batons have skills that help to play in the game modes. (Playing in realistic mode without a special baton is almost impossible). Batons are earned by completing objectives throughout the game. (eg 90% accuracy in a piece.)

Maestro VR Gameplay
Maestro VR Gameplay - A little night music - W. A. Mozart
In this video you can see a small preview of the state of the game. As you may have noticed in the gameplay, the mechanics of the game consist of keeping the beat following spheres. The patterns to follow the spheres are absolutely realistic and this gives a very satisfying feeling of conducting the orchestra. Also in the gameplay you can see that you will have to indicate to each group of musicians when they should play, if you do not do it correctly they will stop playing. There are also "crescendos" and "decrescendos". You have to be attentive to everything while keeping the beat with your right hand, even with both hands. Each action generates points and experience, if you fail many times the orchestra stops playing and game over. Conducting an orchestra is not an easy task!
On the other hand, very soon we will announce the early access for the middle of this year and for the Steam Next Fest on June 13th, 2022 a DEMO will be available that you can play for free, which includes this Mozart piece and another with a full orchestra.
We will appreciate all the feedback you can give us to improve the development. Thank you!
