Yeah, offering multiple sounds is actually a pretty common approach in lots of music software &#x2F; DAWs. Some people like a woodblock sound, while others prefer the traditional metronome sound you&#x27;d hear from a mechanical escapement mechanism, etc.

I have already fixed the metronome sound. Thanks for the idea, I would have never thought of it...Still not sure if I like how it sounds, maybe I should just offer multiple options in the settings.

Hey, thanks, I will check your projects!Interesting, I didn&#x27;t think about the beat pitch stuff, I will fix it!

Nice job. I run a relatively popular Simon Ear Training game for piano&#x2F;guitar (link on my bio if interested) so always happy to see more musical edutainment games.Some feedback as a musician: in general, you want to avoid a metronome that maps to distinct pitches (in your case, it sounded like E on the downbeat and A on the others) because it can subtly interfere with new learners as they build a mental connection between notes and pitches.

Note that you need to play the first 2 introductory levels before you have access to the minigames. Sound invaders is the mini-game I focused more on.

Hi HN,10 years ago, as my BsC final project I had the idea to make a quick game that used neural nets to detect notes played on a guitar, and I made a small mini-game to make use of that. I always wanted to improve on that idea, so last year I started making my own piano-learning game.You know how in most games you learn complex key combinations and sequences (i.e. Mortal Kombat fatalities), but those don&#x27;t have much use outside of the game.My idea was to make a game that can be played with the piano, so you you learn notes, chords, scales simply by playing.While making it and prototyping many versions, I realised that that idea didn&#x27;t work as well as I wanted, because it is hard to focus on reading notes, playing and some other gameplay logic.In the end I settled on a combination of basic beat-based notes playing and a few minigames that use the piano as input. My goal now is to add even more such minigames, for learning different sheet reading, music theory and piano playing techniques.For art, I am unfortunately not a designer and have no budget for hiring one, so I decided to go with some simple shaped art generated in bulk using AI rendering SVGs. Hopefully this is just a placeholder until I find someone to do the art for the game.You can try it out for free, it does have some extra content in the Pro version, but a lotof content is free, including the ability to directly play full songs in scrolling or sheet mode here: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;game.ultimidi.com&#x2F;songs" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;game.ultimidi.com&#x2F;songs</a>Happy to hear any feedback, especially if the MIDI connection&#x2F;notes detection didn&#x27;t work or something doesn&#x27;t feel good.Thank you!
