I wish there was something open source and cross-platform like Synthesia. I find staff notation very frustrating but still want to learn to play existing music, at times.
- est 5y agoI wish Synthesia could allow user uploads and sharing.
- benkaiser 5y agoI write a super basic open source version that lets you select a midi file: https://github.com/benkaiser/learn-piano https://github.com/benkaiser/learn-piano
- benkaiser 5y agoCheckout my open source web version: https://github.com/benkaiser/learn-piano https://github.com/benkaiser/learn-piano It lets you select from a midi file and play with your midi keyboard. You can even select a note to split on. I need to add more intuitive controls (i.e. tempo is controlled by a random slider on my midi keyboard), but the core of it works.
- odiroot 5y agoThanks, friend.
- adrianmonk 5y ago> I find staff notation very frustrating It gets better with time. Just like a programming language with a quirky syntax, your mind eventually compensates for it. IMHO, staff notation really not bad when you consider how else to pack that much information into limited horizontal and vertical space.
