After a while you get confident enough to switch the right hand to "you play" mode while still letting the computer play the left hand and possibly incrasing the speed.Ģ. You might even need to set the speed to 0% and use the rewind/fast forward to better be able to see what keys to press in particularly tricky parts. If you make a mistake, rewind the song and switch to a even slower speed. Then play it at a slower speed and try to play along with the computer. First listen through the song so you know the melody. Start with learning, say, the right hand. After you have learned the song by heart you barely need to look at the falling bars any more.ġ. The key is to use the piano roll view as a way to help memorizing the song by visually seeing, hearing and trying to remember what keys to press.
SYNTHESIA FREE VS PAID HOW TO
If that's the case I agree that it's nearly impossible - multitudes of notes fall down so fast that there's no time to interpret how to play them. It sounds that you are trying to use the piano roll view in the same way as sheet music in the sense that you expect to be able to read it and play it correctly almost at the first try. I tried the "Zelda" and "Tetris" arrangements and could barely hit a single note. Synthesia might become a good training tool for learning to read sheet music as well! I would never have had the patience to do that by trying to read sheet music from a printed sheet.įor those who still want sheet music there's actually a simple sheet music view planned for the next version that will continue to evolve to a more complete one. Due to the new Fast Forward/Rewind features I've learned to play Wind Scene from Chrono Trigger and Lost Woods from Zelda in a few days. Not everyone knows how to read sheet music, and for those the piano roll view in Synthesia makes it easier to learn to play the songs since they can see exactly what keys to press and for how long, and you can also choose to let the computer to play the song so that you know how it's supposed to sound. I see Synthesia mainly as a educational tool that helps people to learn play music on a real piano, with the game aspect more like a bonus. Guitar Hero or Keyboard Mania are games that won't teach you to play for real (the two octaves used in Keyboard Mania is not enough). maybe I don't get what's so great about this, it's like trying to read sheet music from a piano roll rotated 90 degrees. But the app is still only at version 0.6.0, so who knows what will happen in the future! Also some different difficulty levels would be good to have, some of the arrangements require you to play too many notes at the same time. What I miss is a practice mode where you could easily rewind the music to practice a certain part over and over again.
Synthesia comes with 10 piano arrangements of game music classics. If you aren't used to playing music from notes but need to see what keys you should press, this application seems to be a perfect way to learn to play any music that you have on a MIDI file! You can alter the speed of the playback to make it easier to practice a certain part. You need to have a MIDI synth to use it, but if you have one, this app has the potential to be useful – something you can't say about Guitar Hero with its mere five buttons! It is a kind of Guitar Hero clone, but for piano.
I just got a tip this morning about a program called Synthesia ( ) that I think is a great concept!
