Virtual Piano For Mac
Germain Aguilera
Use your computer keyboard or click the piano keys to play the piano. The keyboard's top row of letters corresponds to the white keys, and the row of numbers corresponds to the black keys. You can play multiple notes simultaneously.
Click "Hide note names" above the piano to hide the note names. Click "Mark" to mark notes on the piano. Play the marked notes by clicking the "Play" button (only visible after notes have been marked) or pressing the spacebar on your keyboard.
Try our free piano exercises and learn to play notes, intervals, chords, and scales on the piano. You'll also find a variety of other exercises that will expand your musical understanding and help you become better at playing the piano.
Every physical computer keyboard allows you to play notes from two octaves between C3 to C5.The white keys are mapped to the second row of keys: Tab, Q, ..., [, ] and Backslash.The black keys are mapped to the first row of keys: 1, 2, ..., =, Backspace.For example, C3 is played by pressing Tab while C#3 is played by pressing 1 and D3 is played by pressing Q and so on.Note that B4 is played by pressing the backslash key, while the Enter key plays C5.
If you have an external keyboard with a navigation cluster and a numeric keypad,then you can play three octaves from C3 to C6.The Delete key will play C5, Home - C#5, End - D5 and so on to 7 on the numpad being F5 and so on.
The keys from the row A,S,D and the row Z,X,C are programmed to play white key chords for rich melodies.Moreover, with advanced options you can assign any user-defined chord or single note to any key of the computer keyboard.Tick the CHORD checkbox to indicate a chord on the piano keyboard and then check it off to create a custom-made chord button.This button will play your chord but it can also be configured to be associated with a computer keyboard key.
You can record anything played by this virtual piano keyboard and play it back at will.To start and stop recording check and uncheck the box RECORD. A playback button will appear automatically.You can have many playback buttons: each with its own recording. You can even play back more than one recording at the same time while making another recording to combine them.
Please donate if you find this feature useful.I had to buy a more expensive hosting service to be able to run the script which generates MIDI files.And generally I struggle to find the time to work on my virtual pianobecause the website brings so little money that I need to focus all my efforts on my job just to survive financially.
Your recordings and your custom chords are stored as buttons which can be dragged around to shift position.You can save all your buttons as a text file to your hard drive and then load this file later.Each button can be renamed and configured to be triggered by any key from the computer keyboard.You can program your computer keyboard so that each key plays a custom chord or a playback recording and then save the layout for later.
This is an online piano in the sense that it needs a live Internet connection to work.But there is an offline version available as a single HTML file that you can open in your browser without being connected to the Internet.Note that the offline version does not have certain features which require a connection.It won't save your work and you can't download audio files of your recordings.The better sound quality option is not available.You can use it offline for private personal use including in a school classroom or in a private class.Contact me directly if you are interested.
Load better soundsThe default sound files are optimized for speed of loading so that you can start playing the piano immediately without waiting for the sounds to load.However, this comes at the cost of reduced quality, which may be an issue when using external loudspeakers or headphones.Fortunately, you can optionally load better sounds if you need higher sound quality.
You might also be interested in my virtual guitarthat plays all the major chords, minor chords, and dominant sevenths chords. In fact, it can play any chords at all.But more importantly, the notes on the fretboard are visualized on a separate virtual piano keyboard which serves to explain how the guitar worksto those who already understand the piano.
I have the ambition to make it the most useful virtual piano online simulator in the world so I need to know what exactly my users expect when they play it.Please feel free to write any comments and remarks by using the email address displayed on theApronus.com homepage.
Use your computer mouse or keyboard to play the virtual piano keyboard (or the device touch screen for mobile devices). You can view the corresponding computer keyboard letters by activating the Real Keys feature. For the entire keyboard spectrum, click it twice.
Metronome The Metronome feature enables you to play at a regular tempo. Use it to improve your timing.
You can adjust the Metronome based on BPM (beats per minute) or time signature.
A virtual piano keyboard is perfect when there isn't a real piano or a keyboard at home or when your piano or keyboard isn't next to a computer. The online piano keyboard simulates a real piano keyboard with 7 1/4 octaves of 88 keys (only five octaves for mobile devices), a sustain pedal, ABC or DoReMe letter notes representation, a Metronome, zoom-in, and a full-screen mode.
Use your computer mouse or keyboard to play the virtual piano keyboard (or the device touch screen for mobile devices). You can view the corresponding computer keyboard letters by activating the "Real Keys" feature. For the entire keyboard spectrum, click it twice.

I am working on a new app and I want to implement an octave of piano keys in there. Unfortunately, in order to save space, I can't put the black keys in between the white ones, I need them to be aligned (unlike on a real piano). Now, I can't decide between letting them start on the C, or the D.
What would you consider to be more "playable"? Please ignore the rest of the picture, I just used the app screenshot for demonstration. Also, do you think it is ok to place the black keys like that? Could you work with that?
EDIT: I now played with both layouts for a couple of minutes and actually I got on with them way better than I thought. However, I now found another way to switch octaves (which is what I needed the space for) and will go for the "original" layout
Notwithstanding the fact that a keyboard player would hate it no matter what, from a logical standpoint neither can make sense, and for a reason: it would depend whether, in context, the black keys would be sharps or flats.
Thanks to the Evergreen School of Music, my daughters were able to continue their piano lessons with Elizabeth Barmann, soft-spoken and full of grace and hope and everything else you want a piano teacher to be. Ever working for her students and willing to try something new, Barmann moved her piano lessons to an online model shortly after quarantine began.
An absolutely related to all similar software issue that one cannot help noticing is the lack or disappearance of sound crispiness with the increase of music fabric density. It is an illness from which all the VST pianos suffer, and it has nothing to do with the quality of the samples, velocity layers, etc, but with the engine itself. Either the developers have to rethink the engines, or introduce some corrections with increase of music density. Seriously, many sampled performance you find on the webpages have some jazz compositions with very thin music fabric - they sound crisp, and high frequencies are very bright. But once you start playing something with all 10 fingers, god forbids, professionally and in good tempo, the sound becomes dull, muddy, and cannot be compared even to an old youtube performance, which sound much crispier. I got frustrated with this issue with all major soft, I basically tried all there is on the market. Tone and hummer hardness help but not much, since you want the sound bright and crisp, not metallic. Where do all the high frequencies go with you increase sound saturation? why does the sound becomes so muddy and dull? why it does not with real instrument and microphones?
Maybe it have something with my English, but I don't get it. Though seems I can see the overall picture of the complain more or less. Generally speaking I don't see any problems with many notes involved, and yes, I play professionally (more or less). Though I see hundreds of minor areas to be improved but the overall situation with Ptq still continue to impress me a lot after about 3 months of everyday use. Speaking about "old youtube records" - it is the area where Ptq just shines for me, I mostly play using the emulation of some more old recording made from some distance, using some touch of tape saturation-compression, more reverb-to-dry settings - the result is just unnoticeable if it is the real recording or the artificial one. For a close up simulation, yes, it is hard, for a real thing with a good condenser microphone you can capture so many ghost sounds, mechanical noises, even how the felds touch the string - it is still hard to simulate. But, again, for a distant recording - just perfect.
Andrei, I described the issue very generally, very very generally and "overall." I did not go into the specifics. Many people will agree with me, and the issue was given some discussion here at the forum. People recognize that problem: the more sound (thicker music fabric) - the duller the sound overall. Some one recommended "reducing the volume." That indeed helps a bit.
Also, I do not say that Pianoteq sounds worse than youtube records. It sound better. It sounds better than ANY virtual pianos on the market. Yet, in some degree, it still has this dullness problem. Other virtual pianos have this problem to a larger degree. Although each individual sample is captured with microphones, just like a real piano, and each single sound is bright, when the engine mixes the sounds something happens with brightness and crispness of the overall fabric. Individual notes are not discernible any more within the chords, the sound has kind of "muffled" quality to it. Muffled is the right word, although dull, not bright, can also work.
