Introduction:

The Virtual Piano is a simulator of a Grand Piano inspired by http://virtualpiano.net/. It's main aim is to let the scratchers hear and feel what playing a piano is like (without actually spending money and buying one). The 61 playable notes varies from C1-C6 or 5 different octaves. If you are ever interested in making music, learning to play a piano will make things much easier in the future. From the basics of playing a piano, to every thing you need to know about a piano (will be) explained on this one piano simulator (soon)!

Music Sequencer

The all new music sequencer is out! You can go and check it by pressing the MS Button in project.

Once in music sequencer, you can sequence your music by clicking in the boxes! More information given on screen inside music sequencer!


This is the first music sequencer that I have ever attempted, so it may contain bugs. If you do find one, please report it to me immediately! I'll try my best to fix it


How to play:

You can currently play with your keyboards alpha-numeric letters and your mouse! Which means you can use 0-9 and a-z and click the keys too. That also includes pressing Shift and than pressing a key (on keyboard). For example, pressing 1 will play C, but when you press SHIFT than 1, you will be playing C# (C sharp).

1 = C SHIFT+1 = C#

Recording:

Now you can record your songs and play them! :D



Press the red button to record and stop, while press the button with P to play your recorded songs. When done recording, a list will be shown and that is your song code. You can copy paste it and play it later on!


Test Song code:
Copy the above text, press play song code, enter it and enjoy!

Found a bug?

If you have come across a bug, please report it to me (through this forum thread, my profile or on comments on the Project)! I will look into it and try my best to fix it as soon as possible!

Suggestion?

Have an idea that you want me to add to it or want to help me improve it? Want to add your drawing? Or want a music sheet for a song? Then rest assured! I will gladly accept all suggestions and would appreciate all the help I can get I will give you full credit on any ideas that YOU have given! Leave suggestions in this thread, my profile or the project page.

BEETHOVEN'S 9TH SYMPHONY

The letters refer to the buttons you must press.
“. ” means it's a completely normal white piano key.
“#” means you must hold shift at the same time when pressing this button.
“_” means that you should take 1 beat of pause for better effects.
“~” means the space between these two notes are shortened by half.


G# G# H. J. J. H. G# F.
D. D. F. G# G# _ F.~F.
G# G# H. J. J. H. G# F.
D. D. F. G# F. _ D.~D.

EDIT: Might look like nonsense and gibberish, but when you play it on the virtual piano it will turn into a beautiful melody. Learned this from a piano class I just recently started.

Cool!

Bump!!

Bumped

Can someone help me on recording?
bump… xD

And the topic goes back to the top! Aka bump…

Well well well

Cool project! The piano sounds a bit off-key to me. Maybe it's just me.

Thanks! Well, it maybe or may not be I just recorded all individual keys from Fl Studios Stage Grand pack… I think I can change it though lol.

Recording is now live! You can now record your favorite songs and play them back!

Bump, need some pianists to play some songs… I am not too good at timing >.<
PS, I lost track of time, maybe bumped too early

You were absolutely right! I rechecked them and found that they were off-key (apparently I forgot that FL does not keep the numbers in order to the key names >.<) so now, I have fixed it! Thanks a lot for notifying that! :D

Bump

Wow! This project looks amazing ! Can't wait to use it
