Keys48 - Virtual piano to play & record songs with

[johnno56]

KEYS48 is a simple virtual piano (with 48 playable keys/notes) that you can play, record & save little songs with.  Use the mouse to click on and play the notes.  There's a menu (press M) that lists available commands.  Saved songs (.K48 files) have a very small size thanks to QB64's _DEFLATE command.

There are a few pre-recorded songs included that you can load and play.  When you start the program, press "L" to load a sample song, then type in DAV or SAMPLE or WALTZ to load & hear those songs.  Those are examples of what you can record with Keys48.

This was made mostly for coding fun and not intended to be a serious instrument.  Hope you will have fun with it too.

@Dav,

This is a nice 'piano', even though my playing style is fashioned after Hunt & Peck, it sounds quite nice. Great job!!

The examples, when they playback, 'seem' to be playing multiple notes at the same time... Is this done by slowing the speed prior to recording? A mention of 'overdubbing' was made. How is that done? Can the saved file be 'viewed' by any other program? I am curious as to how the application works. I enjoy music notation from time to time and would like to learn how to use this program better. Is there any documentation or is the 'menu' all that there is? Any Tutorials?
