The music sheets provided as test data in this repository originated from http://gw2mb.com/archive.php. Guild Wars 2 Orchestra will make its best attempt to play the music sheets faithfully. However, Guild Wars 2 has a limit on speed; some notes may be missed if the score is too fast.
Example YouTube video: Guild Wars 2 Orchestra - Yiruma - River Flows In You
- Guild Wars 2 (32 bit / 64 bit client)
- .NET 4.5
- Windows 7+
This application simulates keyboard key presses using Windows API, therefore requires Guild Wars 2 to be the foreground window for the entire duration of the music sheet.
This program is a slow work in progress, current efforts is to get any music played to be as faithful to the music sheet it is currently playing using the harp as a musical instrument. Once that it is completed to a satisfactory level, then support for other instruments will follow suit.
