Play these instruments right here on my blog!

I'm reposting this blog as per the request of a new member of MyEC. Enjoy, girl!

Hello, my dear friends!

Do you ever wish you were able to play a musical instrument? The truth is we all do, don’t we? (Hope I’m not bending the truth!) Unfortunately, there could be some justifiable grounds for your dream failed to materialize. Perhaps you don’t have the means to own, for example, a piano as it costs you an arm and a leg. If you are one of those disappointed souls, the following instruments are coming to you for absolutely free! This is the moment you've been waiting for all this while. Please don't think that this is a childish prank, my friend. I'm deadly serious!! I know what is crossing your mind right now! Believe me, I’m not .insane and they are neither just images of musical instruments nor e-toys! They are ‘real’ and you can use them straight away. The only difference is that they are ‘virtual’.and you use either your computer keyboard or mouse to operate them.

Well, what are you waiting for? Go on; give them a try! I’m sure you’ll have fun!

Lite Piano

How to use the Lite Piano:

Click the ‘question mark’ (?) on the top right-hand corner of the piano.

This will show you the characters.(letters, numbers and symbols) matched

with the keys on your computer keyboard that correspond to the piano.

Press an associated key on your keyboard to make the sound of that note

on the piano.

For a start, try to play this series of musical notes: (Use your computer keys)

GHJG`GHJG`JKL` JKL` LQLKJ `G` LQLKJ `G `GSG GSG

Practise the song a few times. Can you guess the song from the tune?

Now, for a change, try playing the song with the 'choir' tone! How's it?

For more 'tones', click the option 'Full Version'. There are 4 different

tones under 'Sounds'. Learn the Song, Play and Reset functions too!

Player Piano

How to use the Player Piano:

Press the ‘Play’ button. A song will be played. This song is the default.

Press the ‘Songs’ button to pick .another song from the list of songs.

Press the ‘Play’ button to listen to the song that you've just selected.

[You. can hide the play list by clicking the ‘songs’ button again. This will enable

you to see the piano keys.]

The characters that you see on the top of the Player Piano are the musical

notes of the song that is currently being played.

Now,. delete the musical notes of the current song. Copy the musical notes

that I have given above for the Lite Piano and paste onto the Player Piano's

‘musical notes box’.

Press the ‘slower (+)’ button and set the ‘Interval’ to 375.

Press the ‘Play’ button. Ok! You sould able to guess the song this time.

Click the ‘question mark (?)’ to learn more about 'Interval' and other things.

Here's another song for you to practise. (Set 'Interval' to 400 or 425)

GGLLQQL KKJJ`HHG `GGLLQQL KKJJ`HHG ‘KKJJ`HHG ‘KKJJHHG `GGLLQQL KKJJ`HHG

Do you know the name of the song?

Use the Player Piano and Lite Piano to play the song with your computer keyboard keys. If you are using the Player Piano, just look at the musical

notes you pasted on the top and play accordingly. Isn't it much convenient?

Advanced Piano

This is MY FAVOURITE:

This piano has more things to offer than the earlier two!

Press the button 'Notes' to display the characters .in reference to your pc keys.

Press the 'down arrow' button to display the musical notes of a song and start

playing. The arrow displays a different song every time you press it.

Experiment the functions of the various buttons on the piano by.pressing.them

one at a time. For example, under 'loops' (the tiny green buttons) you can choose a

suitable rhythm to accompany your melody.

Song No. 22

I'm dedicating this song and the notes to my sweet SELMA. She never fails to

drop in to listen to the songs and play the notes on the piano, like the other frequent visitors - Prostomolotava Galina, Hala JM and Hani!

HIT (press) the below Letters and Symbols on your computer keyboard to

play the song on one of the pianos. If you are using the Advanced Piano,

you can play the song with some background music by selecting a 'loop' on

it. You could also use the loops on the Reggaetone Mixers!

If you are not sure how to make the piano work while you are looking at the

following letters and symbols, please refer to the previous songs. It's really

easy once you know how to do it. Enjoy, guys!

Song No. 23

Use the following sequence of letters on your computer keyboard to play

the song. Learn from the previous songs on how to make any of the above

pianos to collobrate with your computer keyboard. I would like to suggest

this loop on the Advanced Piano as an accompanying music for your song.

Loop .: Column ↓ 1 : Row → 2

MY SUGGESTION

You can use the following combination to play the song El Condor Pasa!

(The notes for the song can be found two comments below from here.)



Set (activate) the Regaetone Mixer (2) to ...

Bass Loop  .:   Raw ↓   3    :    Column → 2

Drum Loop:   Raw ↓   4    :    Column → 1

Choose Tone 3 from the Sound Bank on the Advanced Piano.

(This tone is louder than the other two.)

Now, click on one of the white keys of the Advanced Piano to activate it.

Use the scroll wheel on your mouse and go down to the notes I've given.

Next, simply hits the letters and symbols there on your computer key-

board. You'll hear the sound of the piano even thought it's out of sight!
