Keyboard Finder: Find the perfect digital piano or synth

Piano and Synth Magazine is proud to introduce the first version of the Keyboard Finder.

If you’re looking for a new digital piano, synthesiser or home music keyboard, the Keyboard Finder is the tool for you.

Pick from a few simple options, such as the number and style of keys, whether it has a decent piano sound, number of sounds and accompaniments, educational features, and that all important price, and the Keyboard Finder will list the instruments that match your search.

Instead of being overwhelmed by a wealth of detailed specifications, we’ve narrowed it down to the most important ones.

Rather than visiting every manufacturer web site or online store, with varying layouts and ways of describing things, we’ve standardised everything in one place.

The database will be continually updated as new models come onto the market.

Basic noise.io for iPhone video published

Following news of noise.io for the iPhone, here’s a basic demo video of the software in action:

PaklSound1: Virtual Tenori-On for the iPhone

Funnily enough, yesterday I said how cool it would be to have a Tenori-On simulation on the iPhone, and lo-and-behold I find a YouTube video of one in development.

It’s not perfect, of course, but it has all the makings of being a great application. Maybe I’ll do some digging around at some point and see what the comparative specifications between the two systems are. That might give an idea as to how much further this application could be taken.
