UltraStar Song Editor

If you enjoy karaoke and playing the UltraStar game, you probably want to find a way to create your own content for the game or fix already existing songs.

Fortunately, you can turn to third-party specialized applications, such as UltraStar Song Editor, that can help you achieve quick, convenient results in the situation depicted above.

UltraStar Song Editor can help you generate new songs for the UltraStar karaoke game or fix existing tracks by providing you with a rudimentary visual editor that lets you draw notes or type syllables.

You can either create a new project or open an existing one by using the corresponding functions from the File menu. Once you open the application you will be prompted to import a song, but canceling the dialog does not close the application.

This program packs a plain, minimalistic interface that consists of a few fields for adjusting certain values, a virtual keyboard, some standard menus and a workspace where you can add or modify notes.

Drawing notes is not an entirely intuitive process, as there is no dedicated tool available, you simply have to click, hold and drag the mouse over the fields you want to place the notes in. Unfortunately, you cannot use multiple notes to create a chord, as the new notes overlay the previous ones.

In the main window you can also adjust a few settings by dragging a slider bar, choosing an option from a combo menu or typing the desired values in the designated fields.

It is possible to move the slider bar between the Music Only and Notes Only values, depending on which one you want to have a higher volume, set values for audio and video gaps, adjust the BPM and transpose to another key.

UltraStar Song Editor is a lightweight application that can help you generate new content for the UltraStar karaoke game or edit existing songs. It comes with a plain user interface, packs a rudimentary visual editor and lets you customize a few options.
