Why can't we practice on the piano in Etude?
If I made it playable, people would just complain it's too small.
A new "practice mode" is coming in an upcoming update that gives you a big enough keyboard and lets you practice one hand of the piece.
This almost makes me want to get an iPad... almost.
Is there anyway to tap to reposition the cursor and play? Loops? A/B?
Sorry to nitpick, but the sound in the video is off! It's driving me crazy! This almost makes me want to get an iPad... almost.
I wish Firefox would just fall back to the flash version rather than going "Oh, it's not Ogg. I guess I'll just give up."
I've been holding off because of the reviews complaining about lag. Do those apply to the iPad version as well?
* Is page-turning easy? With paper you have to carefully dog-ear the sheet music so that you can grab the corner and turn the page without breaking flow. A simple one-finger swipe or tap would be less disruptive to playing.
* On-demand sheet music purchase is a great idea, if the catalogue is comprehensive enough. It would be great to be able to go from hearing a great piece on the radio to having the score in front of you in minutes.
I assume you need music to be converted so that you can support the synthesiser and simulated keyboard. To bootstrap, can you take existing sheet music unconverted (just scanned, say) and display it without those features? TBH I'm not sure I see the utility of watching the keypresses anyway (maybe because I haven't tried it).
* As well as hearing a synthesised version of the piece, what about a link from the score to world-renowned recordings, to stream or purchase? I'd often struggle to learn some passages that seemed boring or repetitive, but to hear the same passage played with fluency and passion would be very motivating.
I can see how this could be convincingly better than the analogue equivalent, and worth buying an iPad for (if I still had a piano): * Is page-turning easy?
