Synthesia - Midi Piano game

Similar to guitar hero, played with Midi files, and a midi keyboard for those here who have one.

Though keep in mind its not 5 buttons, its actually playing the song, although you can change speeds and all that.


And for added flavor I got bored and wrote up a shitty cover of Sleeping Stars into (clean part) for piano

That cover sounds pretty nice IMO. Played it yourself?

 

[CliffBurton]

Wrote it out in a guitar tab program.
I can barley play first 40 seconds of it .

Ohh.. Well anyways, could you upload and send it via pm? Thanks.

Cool.

d3dx9_27.dll is missing.

What a fun program that doesn't work.

Cool looking program though, at least to get some basic keyboard technique down, unless you load up a Liszt Transcendental Etude or something...which I WAS going to do IF THE PROGRAM ACTUALLY WORKED.

EDIT: updating directX

Nice Edit ...

The Tab is for a program called tabit. Which, I assume, no one has.
Take the midi and import it into Guitar Pro or Power tab or something. Should work that way.

Aight, thanks.

If you've got a keyboard, check if it has USB or MIDI ports. If it does, you're in luck.

If you've got both, USB is simpler. Get a driver from the keyboard company's site and connect it with a USB cable. (Check if the driver is compatible! For example, Casio USB doesn't work on Macs.)

If you're stuck with just a MIDI port, you can find a good MIDI-to-USB adapter for around $30. Price and brand don't make a difference. If it's going to work, it'll work 100%.

My keyboard has USB and I usually just use that.

 

[Ben Johnson]

Hmmmm...this program is kind of useless without a metronome. I see the developer is working on one for the next release though.

Cock! Mine only has midi At least I got the program to work.

 

[Ben Johnson]

Does you sound card even have a midi port? If not then you're doubly screwed.

 

[Altitudes]

Yeah, it does. I just don't want to bother with more adapters. All my electronics require adapters!
