The Augmented Piano
I know that many music game enthusiasts would also like to take up an instrument, but find it hard to find the discipline to practice regularly. A program that turns piano study into something resembling a music game is now being developed under the name 'The Augmented Piano'. Something to look forward to!

Re: The Augmented Piano
Pick an instrument
Buy it. You'd be surprised how much motivation you get from spending money |

Re: The Augmented Piano
Especially something that's like $300+ as most decent music equipment is.

Re: The Augmented Piano
Please, my flute was almost $800. That's cheap as hell.
Don't buy a $200 guitar or keyboard either. |

Re: The Augmented Piano
So it's synthesia projected onto a grand piano? Well we have a stand-up one, so I don't know if it'll work. The cats'll have lots of fun with it though.

Re: The Augmented Piano
Nope, synthesia works on a computer keyboard, augmented piano works on a piano. The whole point is that you get to play an instrument and have that rhythm game feeling at the same time. Of course, this should just help with motivating you; it's not to be substituted for traditional methods to learn to play the piano.
I have a 7000 euro piano at home. A good instrument certainly motivates to play more. I started out with a cheap keyboard, then went to a second-hand study piano and then bought the 7000 euro piano. Don't invest in something like that until you have reached a certain level and are relatively certain you'll be playing for a long time to come. (Sadly, since I'm doing my PhD abroad, I have to make do with a digital piano, which, even though it's not a bad one, can never live up to the real thing)

It's kinda neat, but it's still just synthesia with a projector. I didn't find it any more intuitive than playing synthesia normally on a vertical screen when I tried that.

Re: The Augmented Piano
Looks really cool honestly
not sure why they label it augmented though. Like they just picked a random theory term for brand name |
