# TarsosDSP sample application: Utter Asterisk

<a href="https://0110.be/files/attachments/404/UtterAsterisk.jar" title="Download Utter Asterisk"><img src="https://0110.be/photo/cons/250/utter_asterisk.png" alt="Uttter Asterisk" style="float:right" width="210"></a>The DSP library of Tarsos, aptly named TarsosDSP, contains an implementation of a game that bares some resemblance to SingStar. It is called UtterAsterisk. It is meant to be a technical demonstration showing real-time pitch detection in pure java using a [YIN](http://recherche.ircam.fr/equipes/pcm/cheveign/ps/2002_JASA_YIN_proof.pdf) -implementation.

"Download Utter Asterisk":\[UtterAsterisk.jar\] and try to sing (utter) as close to the melody as possible. The [souce code for Utter Asterisk](https://github.com/JorenSix/TarsosDSP) is available on github.
