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.

I am a komplete newbie having bought the A49 just to use as input to Sibelius. However I would like to start learning how to make use of the software that came with it. The first thing I am struggling with is how to get this just to sound like a real piano. Just the basics. I have managed somehow (can't remember how) to get to this screen. What are these "Hybrid keys" and why do I have to twiddle the knobs to reset the dials every time I get here even to get it to sound half way towards a real piano without all the weird overtones (Blend AB seems to reduce the Dynamic C7 component) and stuff? Is there some way to save a default setting to go to when I plug it in and turn it on? Is there a starter guide for komplete newbies like me?
@alforno - It's technically possible but the technology is not fully there yet. There is a sidequest app called VRtous that demos the idea but at the end of the day handtracking technology isn't fully baked right now and there's a limit on how much precision you can get. In another generation or two - pass through and hand tracking will be good enough for this to work really well.
Thank you VibrantNebula, but what I meant is much simpler. I would just need a camera showing me the real piano keys with my real hands at the same time as creating the virtual space around it, no tracking of hands necessary. In a way just like augmented reality where I have part of my real environment plus the VR.
I just tried it, its not the same, not even close. For a start the notes don't hold for more than a few seconds and fade at different times. I love Thumb Jam its an amazing app for many reasons. And I'm not disrespecting your knowledge of guitar FX or recording techniques, I'm just saying that the way the guitar has been sampled in Real Piano sounds like no other app. Down to how the sample has been looped you truly get infinite sustain thats sounds like each note was recorded with an E-Bow. Not everyone is gonna like the sound or the effect, I think it sounds really good. You are limited to how much a sound like that could be used, but if you wanted that harmonised guitar feel in a track thats going to be the easiest way to achieve it without overdubbing single notes.
As you probably know E Bows are designed to vibrate one string at a time, thus giving infinate sustain. The sustained guitar sound at the beginning of With Or Without You by U2 was done with an E Bow. I'm just waffling now because I dont really know enough about it. Also Big Country used them nearly all the time. And interestly they still make them

I would like to my midi in Garageband sound like a real piano .I'm using the Steinway Grand Piano in the library, but it has no intonation and depth.I tried adding some plug-ins and tuning hyperparameters but still, it sounds very midi-generated.
In which I reminisce about childhood music lessons, and evening television, build the LEGO Ideas Grand Piano while listening to some of my favorite piano music. Then I troubleshoot it, with some help from the fan designer.
I probably gained more, as a person, from spending this time learning the piano and musical theory, to subsequently catch up on all of those episodes while at university, than if I had not had my music lessons (Australia was privileged to have reruns of Pertwee, Bakers -both Tom and Colin- Davison and McCoy episodes for what feels like the better part of a decade. Frequently paired up with the Goodies, Kenny Everett or Monkey. But I digress).
That said, the music that I played was not necessarily be the same as the music that I would listen to. And so, as I sat down to build the LEGO Ideas Grand Piano (generously sent over by the LEGO Group), I looked up some of my favourite piano music from across the years as I set about building the set. Ultimately, there was a lot of musical replay: this is a big build, taking around 10 hours. While the playlist focussed primarily on classical piano music, I may have diverged a little, after a while.
The building instructions divide the build into eight segments: The base of the case, incorporating the powered up elements (but more on that later); the sound board;More of the case, and the strings; the legs and pedals; the keyboard and action; dampers, fallboard and music stand;.the top board and prop; and finally the piano stool.
Moving into the next bag, we take a long axle, and install it with a red flag on the end. This is installed in the constructed frame from the previous bag, which is now rotated, and attached onto the front of the piano case. This flag bounces up and down, in front of the WeDo distance sensor, and will be instrumental in moving the tune along, as you play on the keyboard, in conjunction with the Powered Up App.
Once we install this into the case, with the tubes running either side of the vertical grey rods of from a bags earlier, our model is starting to look like a piano. The peg board lies on top, leaving scope for some now vertiacal (previously potentially horizontal) studs, for us to attach the inverted arches, which will ultimately hold these elements in. We also see some nested arches coming down over the front edges of the piano case.
The Most embarrassing part of the review, I appear to have failed to take any photos of the parts for this stage knolled out, or indeed during the construction phase. The three legs are identical, and plug into some holes in the base of the piano using 6 connector pins each. 22 Quarter circle tiles are used to imply a degree of woodcarving on the legs as such. small wheels on the end (without tires) mean that it can be rolled from place to place, without to much risk of scratchig the furniture.
The Dropboard refers to the lid of the piano, that protects the keyboard. It is built up over a series of plates, with arches, tiles and slopes, while the underside is covered in inverted tiles, including the one decorated element in this set: a black inverted 22 tile featuring the 1932 LEGO Logo. A number of 13 inverted tiles also feature along the bottom of the front edge of the lid.
Next, we also install an elongated music stand alongwith the panelling along the top/front aspect of the piano: there are a few panels infront of it, allowing a piece of sheet music to be supported. This will probably be realised in the final step, with a 44 tile.
The sustain pedal on a piano (the one on the left) also has the effect of lifting all of the dampers off the piano strings. This effect is duplicated in the Grand piano: with individual dampers being lifted while a key is pressed, but the entire assembly is raised when the pedal is puched down.
Now that the model is finished, and the keyboard is in place, I reconnect the Powered Up hub to my phone over the magic of Bluetooth. The app gives me the option to select a creative canvas, or the programs designed to run with an ever increasing number of models. we select the piano: It gives us two modes: Listen and play.
Another disappointing aspect of both play and listen mode is that none of the music displayed on screen even pretends to represent the music being played through the speaker of the phone. (or even the notes played by the piano keyboard).
It could , in theory, be possible to generate a pitch, based on the distance between the movement sensor and another structure, such as a piano hammer. Unfortunately, the Powered Up App does not have an appropiate sound library in the current version, and we cannot readily add a custom sound library at this time.
Do any composers or performers provide you with special inspiration? I like Chopin, Ravel and Rachmaninov. As for pianist there are too many to name.You have paid a great deal of attention to the mechanism for the piano keys, hammers and dampers.
Were there any particular aspects of the mechanism that were difficult to design? A few of them were quite challenging, especially when they were all so interconnected. The counter-weight for the keys took me a while to refine (the piano keys need to go back to neutral position after every key press), Also the key stroke distance, and the hinge position of the fall board.
Are there any parts of the build which you think are important to pay attention to? When building the camshaft mechanism, make sure all the black and reddish brown pieces can move freely, otherwise it creates fiction that effect the pianola function. Also there is a easy fix for the unevenness of keyboard (Ed. as we will demonstrate below).
In conclusion: this is a magnificent model, and a terrific build. I cannot fault the attention to detail in the hammer mechanism, and it serves its initial intention, of clarifying the mechanism for piano students, very well. The studless design makes it easy to forget that the finished model is made from LEGO bricks.
In order to check the pianola roll as you mentioned, I pressed the reset button to make sure the red arms are parallel to the base of the case and the white bars are pointing downward. I remember setting up the roll correctly that way, but it looks like after playing it per the instructions, it never reset the correct way. So I went back several stages, which of course was so frustrating since I was almost finished building the piano, but I needed access to the pianola roll, and I went back as many stages as needed to position the roll again the right away. However, after for the second time positing it correctly, as soon I play a song and/or hit the reset key on the app, it does not go to the rest position (red arms parallel, white arms downward) that you had mentioned.
