App Description

"midi keyboard" is the first MIDI EXPANDER for professional musicians or students.

With “midi Keyboard” you will have:
- two independent GM/GS MIDI keyboards each one with 9 octaves (multitouch , with independent octaves for each keyboard)
- ability to connect an external MIDI keyboard to use "midi keyboard" like a real MIDI EXPANDER (the external keyboard can be used as the first or third keyboard available)
- MIDI Player for playing MIDI files ( .mid or .midi - with the ability to save MIDI files within the portable device and choose the desired instrument in real time to play the MIDI file)
- reverb and distortion sound effects (they can be used together, with each generated sound)
- sustain pedal
- soundfonts archive (you will be able to import and save all the soundfonts you want and switch in real time from one sound to another one)
- percussion bank

To generate the sounds "midi Keyboard" uses the GM/GS soundfonts (files with extension .sf2 / .sf / .dls ).
The application is compatible with all the existing soundfonts, you can:
- load and use the soundfonts files in real time
- store in the local "midi Keyboard" archive an infinite number of professional soundfonts, free downloadable from the web (the soundfonts can be also purchased from third parties)
Examples of free soundfonts that can be downloaded from the web are: FluidR3_GM.sf2 , PC51f.sf2 , Unison.SF2 , GeneralUser GS MuseScore v1.44.sf2 , TimGM6mb.sf2, etc...

"midi Keyboard" also gives you the ability to store, read and listen your MIDI files (.mid or .midi) using the integrated MIDI Player of "midi keyboard".
During the playback of MIDI files you can play a piece of song using the two independent keyboards of "midi Keyboard" and/or an external MIDI keyboard (multitouch keyboards sounds + external keyboard sounds + MIDI Player sounds, all together).
During a live music performance you can also set the MIDI files as background music with the ability to change the MIDI sounds in realtime.

Choose Your preferred sounds and play "midi Keyboard" using the two multitouch keyboards of "midi Keyboard" and/or using an external MIDI keyboard connected with "midi keyboard" MIDI EXPANDER.
