Learn piano with the songs you want to play. Open any MIDI file and Ostino shows it two ways: as notes falling onto a piano keyboard, and as sheet music you can read and practice bar by bar. You don't need an account, and you're not limited to a song catalog. Any MIDI file you have will open. FALLING NOTES Each note falls onto the key you press, green for the right hand and blue for the left. You see what's coming before you have to play it, like a piano tutorial video, except you set the speed. SHEET MUSIC FROM ANY MIDI FILE Ostino writes the file out on a grand staff, with key signature, accidentals, beams, ties, rests and triplets. You can switch between falling notes and sheet music at any point. A cursor follows the music and colors the notes as they sound, which helps if you're learning to read music. THE HANDS ARE SPLIT FOR YOU Most MIDI files don't say which hand plays which note. Ostino decides the way a pianist would, keeping each hand within reach, so both parts are playable. PRACTICE TOOLS • Loop any passage. The loop handles snap to bar lines. • Change the tempo from 25% to 150%. • Start with a one-bar count-in. • Turn on the metronome. • Show note names on the falling notes. • Change the sustain while the song plays. PLAY ALONG Connect a USB MIDI keyboard or digital piano. The keys you press light up on screen, next to the notes the song asks for. YOUR FILES Import MIDI files with the + button, or open them in Ostino from Files, Mail or AirDrop. Everything runs on your iPhone or iPad, and nothing needs an internet connection. A sample piece is included: the Minuet in G from the Anna Magdalena Bach Notebook. Ostino works on iPhone and iPad, in portrait and landscape.
