If you get real-time reliable detection of notes and chords working in the browser then please let me now. Meanwhile, I'll plug https://pianojacq.com/ which I wrote to help practice (digital or silent) piano.

Will do! That is of course the focal point of any code I write for this, and it’s very tricky. To perhaps give you a little more confidence that I might figure this out, I know it’s not as simple as forwarding midi data through WebRTC and playing it on receipt on the other end ;)

This gist of how I do it now is conceding to the fact that network latency exists and having a sort of buffer that allows midi note data to arrive out of order but be played back at the original timings (just delayed)


I would like to get in one that. I have gotten to the point in my lonely piano journey that I understand that one must start practicing Hanon and Czerny. Yet there's no guided app for that.


I’m no teacher so I can’t tell you confidently what’s write or wrong. I definitely don’t practice those, they’re honestly kinda boring to me. My musical goal is more about getting a decent understanding of practical playing and theory through a book that does a bit of both (the older beginner is what it’s called) as well as finding our own songs to work through and use to learn about theory. The teacher who swears by tedious exercise like Hanon would probably disagree, but I really like it, and I feel like it’s still very productive!


I have one good friend in Berlin who is working on the same problem, would you like an intro?

If so send me an email please, jacques@modularcompany.com


Sent an email, very curious!
