Free Piano

There is no doubt that there is the huge number of virtual piano sets in the online environment. The number is staggering, but few of them actually work well. Free Piano is one of those good exceptions, being an AIO type software: MIDI controller and open-source piano. The application has all the customization options needed. It's a one-stop-shop virtual piano studio. Now's your chance to become a celebrity. All it takes is courage and a bit of inspiration.

This piano app is simply filled with features. It's not difficult to navigate through them either. You can choose from a couple of preset keymaps, or you could load your own. There is a recording device integrated, so when you have your celebrity moment, you can catch it and show it to friends or the world. The metronome included in this software bundle can be customized as well.

The best part is that you can actually change the main section of the window between a keyboard map and a music sheet. The latter will record any musical notes you play, in case you have a flash of brilliance and want to record it for later use. There are a few MIDI tuning options as well and, lastly, GUI related settings. A light volume display doubled by a rocker sits in the upper right-hand corner of the app.

The application moves fast and feels more than responsive. It uses few computer resources. The sound is crisp and clear. You actually get the feeling of playing a real piano at no expense, whatsoever. All of these elements combined make for a great app, so if you are knowledgeable in the art of playing pianos, this little program should not be missed. The least you can do is give it a try and see if it really is worth your time.

Free Piano is the way to go if you want to either experience something as close to a real piano as possible or if you're still saving money for a real piano and want to practice in the meantime. The application offers a plethora of options, being aimed at both experts and novices in this sophisticated and quite exclusivist art form.
