I’d love to try this.

But… I’ve connected my Yamaha P-515 electric piano to my iPad, and it doesn’t show in the app’s “MIDI keyboard” dropdown.

Lots of Googling comes up with nothing helpful - or understandable, at least, to me, a novice when it comes to MIDI.

I’m writing this feedback, not because I want tech support, but because maybe it is helpful that a keen would-be user simply can’t get started.



Replying to myself:

I got it working by plugging my Yamaha P-515 MacBook Pro into my computer. The ergonomics of playing the piano while viewing on a laptop were awkward.

As to the game, well, it doesn’t do much yet. Just prompting me to play some chords. But it’s a start.

Congrats on launching, and good luck with the next steps.


Thank you for your feedback. It will be very valuable to me. Can I ask what browser you are using on your iPad? I guess Chrome will solve your problem on your iPad. I will try to look into it.

As you mentioned, this is a first step and the main goal is to help build muscle memory for common progressions. And also how chords solve into each other, not just learning the chords themselves.

With the great feedback I got here, I am planning to improve it so that more people can enjoy it.

Feel free to join the mailing list to get the updates.
