πŸš€ Features

  • 🎢 Dynamic pitch control based on your character’s view angle
  • πŸ”’ Realistic harmonic series modeled after a true bugle
  • 🎺 Valve inputs expand your range, enabling full chromatic capability
  • 🌐 Multiplayer support allows every note you play to be heard exactly as intended
  • πŸ“ˆ Real-time harmonic guide overlay for performance and learning
  • πŸ“‘ Smooth network sync using Photon, with minimal bandwidth usage

πŸ”§ How It Works

Virtuoso maps traditional brass playing mechanics to intuitive in-game controls:

  • 🎯 Look up or down to choose your pitch β€” each vertical angle corresponds to a harmonic partial in the brass series. Use default key V to toggle the UI.
  • 🎼 Tilt slightly left or right to bend your pitch β€” perfect for vibrato, glides, and emotional expressiveness.
  • 🎺 Use valve key combinations to simulate trumpet fingering, expanding your playable range. By default:
    • Z for valve 1
    • X for valve 2
    • C for valve 3
