I'm thinking about a Karaoke mode. Hit circles are activated by singing at the correct time, sliders are activated by holding a syllable for the length of it and spinners are done by either screaming as loud as you can, or by singing random syllables as fast as possible. I haven't decided yet.

Pitch detection wouldn't be possible without having an unreasonable amount of coding and mapper attention, so forget that. Maps without vocals or Insane difficulties can just be ignored by the player, and replays can be saved off and online with or without vocal playback. Lyric support and specifically made for (but unranked) difficulties would help a lot.

Is all of this possible with a standard microphone? That is my only concern at the moment. Most microphones have reasonably good background noise filters and a sensitivity setting in the osu! client may help, but is it even feasible? I am not sure, not at all.

Of course, there would be an option to mute your voice on spectation. Take advantage of new players who forgot to turn it on?

I can imagine Marisa would be fun interesting fucking insane with this mode.

A bit out-there of an idea, but I like it. I myself don't have a mic (though everyone keeps bugging me to get one), but this sounds like it could be fun. Would definitely take a lot of time to do something like this and even make it particularly usable, but it's an awesome idea and would make a very awesome mode.

Well, It would sound awesome if beatmaps actually followed the singing line. But they usually don't... So to sing songs you should actually look for beatmaps created for this use!
Some may be created, but would it be worth it?

Seems more like a separate game. I like the idea of a mode with a microphone though. Maybe don't call it karaoke mode, more like beatboxing mode.

Indeed. Maybe he can take a look at how much difference of db someone makes when making a sound in his mic and register that as a hit. Sounds more like a job to do with Taiko-like mode though to make stacks a long sound or something.

Would be crazy to hear someone do Owen was her and go a a a a a a a a a a a a on the stacks XD

Who knows, but obviously everyone (else) thinks this would be awesome (including me). :P

I guess it could make use of volume and pitch of the music?

Not a bump.

By the way, this could probably work with a modified Taiko interface.

Eh. It would be really hard to implement. It barely works in Rock Band...

It would require mappings of the pitch of the song, of course. If it was just volume based, that's a different story.

That's because they failed at implementing it properly ;).

You guys know about this?

basically ultrastar is to singstar as osu! is to EBA/oendan

This idea barely worked for me on that. I sing vocals on expert in rock band so failing at/with this was just frustrating.
I'm not trying to suggest a Singstar rip-off. Pitch detection, I assume, would be the only truly troubling part to code, and It's a bad idea, seeing as it would have to be adjusted separately for every beatmap.

If its not pitch based then it would basically be volume based, right? You would need a pretty high quality mic to pull that off I think. You would have to fight background noise and static and crap like that. I've used a handfull of different mics to use for Ventrillo for Wow. Trying to set up non-push to talk sensitivity was almost always more trouble than its worth. Same goes for games that auto broadcast when you talk on Xbox live like rock band or GoW or whatever. Usually have to just mute and unmute when i wanna talk.

I know i do sing along or even beatbox with songs when im playing sometimes but i still dont understand how this would work.

I don't think background noise would be a big problem with sensitivity settings. If not, you always have the option of buying a decent microphone.

This sounds like a different game entirely. But spectation mode would SOOO make this worthwhile :lol:
