Our take on Maestro VR
Its focus on conducting makes musical control the central activity, but that leaves little room for unrelated gameplay systems. The career, finances, talents, and collecting all support concert direction rather than providing separate genres or activities.
What is Maestro VR?
Conduct orchestras in VR by using both hands to control tempo, dynamics, cues, fermatas, and other musical gestures.
Career progression runs from aspirant to Maestro and includes rehearsals, performances, Pro performances, reputation, finances, critics, ranks, talents, and baton equipment. Concerts involve selecting halls, funding arrangements, advertising, musicians’ wages, ticket revenue, and post-show financial reports. The game includes 38 instruments and voices, up to nearly 100 musicians on stage, six halls, eight masterclass lessons, and a talent tree with almost 50 talents. A separate free desktop Level Editor supports custom pieces, MIDI import, multitrack audio, gesture scores, animated musicians, and Steam Workshop sharing.
How Maestro VR plays
- 01Dual-hand conducting
- The right hand controls the beat while the left shapes musical expression, with gestures for cues, crescendos, accents, and fermatas.
