MidiSlayer

Plug in a MIDI keyboard or pair one over Bluetooth, and practise with a piano app that hears every note you play. Free to try. Buy once, keep it.

MidiSlayer is piano practice for people with a MIDI keyboard. Connect it over USB or Bluetooth and the app hears every note, at the right time and the right velocity, so it can tell you exactly what you played instead of guessing from a microphone.

WHAT IS INSIDE • Practice: play real sheet music from a library of 69 public-domain scores, with wait mode, tempo control and a score that tells you which bars need work. • Train: nine drill modes for note reading, intervals, chords, scales, key signatures and more, each with levels that grow with you. • The Session: jam over a band that plays drums and bass while the screen shows which notes fit the chord you are on. • Games: four games plus a daily challenge, all played on your keyboard, including Siege, a tower defence you win by reading: enemies march on the keep carrying music, and every passage you play right fires a shot. New to reading? Its Novice watch sends one note at a time. • Learn: eleven interactive Beginner lessons, from finding C to reading both clefs, that listen to every note you play, with a Handbook and a Glossary alongside. More stages are on the way, with the full version. • Progress: 97 achievements, a level that grows with every correct note, streaks, and a practice history that stays on your iPad unless you choose to sync it.

THE FREE VERSION The Beginner lessons, the Handbook and Glossary, Note Flashcards, Blitz, the daily challenge, The Session's Pop Loop, the score library viewer and a playable piece in every tier are free, with no time limit.

THE FULL VERSION One purchase unlocks everything. No subscription, no ads, no account needed. Your licence covers two devices: this iPad and one computer, with a desktop key sent to you on request. Already bought MidiSlayer on midislayer.com? Sign in with your email and your licence comes across.

WHAT YOU NEED A MIDI keyboard or digital piano, connected by USB or Bluetooth MIDI. The on-screen piano works by touch for trying things out, but the app is built for a real keyboard. Landscape only.
