This inspired me to hook up the piano I once bought but then never touched. Two questions: 1) Can you make it more sensitive to slow keypresses? I have to press quite fast / with force to get the keypress recognized (for comparison pianobooster does recognize my slow (quiet) press). 2) Can you recommend midi files that are well supported? Most midi-files I found on my PC don't work at all. Those who do look different in pianobooster (for example pianobooster has notes on both hands but pianojacq only one one). Thank you.

As for 1) yes, I can do that, the reason it is set where it is right now is because very soft keypresses on real pianos with sensorbars installed are typically fingers brushing keys on the way to other keys and these false triggers leave a lot of errors that aren't really errors. I'll make that setting configurable. 2) yes, if you look in the 'midi' directory on the gitlab site ( https://gitlab.com/jmattheij/pianojacq/-/tree/master/midi https://gitlab.com/jmattheij/pianojacq/-/tree/master/midi , but also linked from the application) there are whole bunch of them that all should work well If you have problematic midi files you can send them to me and I can try to figure out what the problem is and why they will not import the way they should.

  Great, I'd appreciate that setting very much. And also thanks for the midi files. I missed visiting the gitlab link, do you mean there should be a direct link to the midi-directory? I can't find that.

    The midi files are right on the page linked in the grandparent comment!

Another reply to the same comment, bad form, but there you have it :) Can you have a look what level you are outputting when the notes are missed? Maybe there is some kind of happy compromise here that would do away with a setting that most people would not understand.

  Level? Sorry I don't know midi at all. I sent you the file (it also plays very slow). In this case I don't even need the missing notes. That would just be more complicated :)
