A Novice’s Guide to Musical Creativity — Tapping into the World of Music
So today, no more AI stuff. Actually, today, I want to share one of my apps. I used to spend more time on my mobile.
I’m not a musician, just an average singer. That’s right, I’m a bathroom singer. I always admire and get mesmerized if someone used to play any musical instrument, whatever it may be, from drums to flute.
I love all sorts of music.
Recently, when I was scrolling on Instagram, I saw a video of a girl playing keyboard via mobile, actually! On top of it, she plays the evergreen song “Munbe Vaa” from the movie “Silunu Oru Kadhal,” which is one of my favorites and my go-to movie.
I fell for the trap in that snippet, as, until that moment, I didn’t know the app’s name. She didn’t mention it in her caption, and no one in the comment section asked for the app’s name!
You know, I’m a good researcher. If you give me a piece of information, I will gather every detail about it. All I had in this case was a screenshot. So, I searched on Google Images to find the actual name of the app so that I could install it and give it a try!
Finally, I found the Gem!
After 15 minutes of searching, I found the app: “Perfect Piano.” As the name implies, it was actually perfect!
I’ve never played or even touched a real piano in my lifetime, not even a miniature version. All I used to play with was a toy keyboard in my childhood.
This app was so good. I’m using a Samsung Galaxy F54, a decent and large mobile (6.7 inches), which is quite bigger than the mobiles I have used before! The best thing is that when I click on the keys displayed on the screen, it feels real!
You heard it right; it really feels like a physical keyboard, man!!!
You can check the image below, how it looks!
Features it offers!
I really want to mention this, if anyone is here, who knows how to handle the musical instrument, especially the keyboard, it will be a boon!
There are two main features that need special attention:
- Sound Plugin — There are around 40+ sound plugins available, which are nothing but other instruments that can play along with this. If you need a violin, just install the plugin and play along.
- MIDI Keyboard — it’s a USB version. Yes, you can connect your keyboard to the mobile via an OTG connector. This app will detect it automatically. In case you’re a musician and need background music, then this option is a good pick!
Apart from this, you can explore songs that are trending.
What if you’re a beginner like me?
If you’re a beginner, amateur, or novice, no worries. This perfect piano will help you learn. Just imagine it like a game. You need to choose the difficulty level, mode of play, and Notes display. That’s it, and you can start to practice.
I try to play “We Wish You a Merry Christmas” song. Here is the snippet:
Otherwise, if you know how to play, go for the Keyboard option, where you can access the keyboard directly. This is how the interface will look like:
Options available
- You can record.
- Colorful keys.
- FX effects: Distortion, Reverb, and Echo; you can adjust them according to your preference.
- Key Display: Chords Mode, Single Row Mode, Dual Row Mode, and Two Player Mode.
- Label Display: Either display as “C4,” “D4” in keys, or “do” “re” in the keys. I prefer the “do re” version, as I like to memorize it this way.
- Customize the keyboard’s appearance by choosing the visible key count, vibrate, keyboard lock, and access to the recorded list.
Now, the Climax!
You want to know how I play, check out below. I have memorized the first part and tried it on Dance Trance, Organ, Music Box, and Synth. Check out below.
The hype for this app is literally high, and it makes me want to explore more. I like it, actually. In fact, I love it. I hope I can play this song completely soon. If it happens, I will surely share my experience here!!
That’s it for the day, guys, see you all byeebyeee…..
