Questions.
Which computer keys play which notes?
A, S, D, F, G, H, J and K play the white keys from C up to the next C. W, E, T, Y and U play the black keys. Z moves down an octave and X moves up.
Can I play chords?
Yes. Hold several keys at once on the computer keyboard or touch several keys on a touch screen. Some laptop keyboards limit how many keys register at the same time.
What does Sustain do?
With Sustain on, notes keep ringing after you let go, like holding the sustain pedal. Turn it off and ringing notes fade out.
Is this a sampled piano?
No. The sound is built in your browser from several tones that fade at different speeds. It loads instantly and works offline, but it is simpler than a recorded grand piano.
Why is there a small delay?
Bluetooth headphones add delay. Wired headphones or your device speakers give the quickest response.
