Description
Micro Key Player: As I have limited space in my house, I have bought a Korg Microkey 61 and practice playing piano with an android device. But all the piano apps available in Google Play are not optimized for everyday usb keyboard use. There is always the ask permission and connection problem. And the latency is too much for decent play. After using an existing app for a few weeks, I give up and decide to make my own. I have created a convenient app where I can turn on and practice instantly with 3 sampled piano sound from Korg, Yamaha and Roland and optional 128 instruments sound module and user download soundfont. I am sharing it for free and hope you have many hours having fun.
Features: - play music with your android device and external keyboard with no latency lag. App is designed to be real time to key pressed. I am surprised existing apps could not match what i created. - 3 piano sound sampled from my favorite Korg, Roland and Yamaha piano. - designed for quick turn-on-and-use. Remember your usb connection and device permission. - auto close after inactive for 3 min - respond to sustain pedal input - cost: free
System requirements: - android 3.1 and up phone or tablet - OTG cable. About $1 at Amazon - usb midi keyboard or digital piano
For support, please post at Celestial Piano forum at http://celestialpiano.blogspot.sg/p/forum.html My other app includes volca midi player (good for beginner without music theory to play piano) and microvolcakeys (for sending midi note to synthesiser).
ps. Just added sound module 128 instruments to the app as a free add on. It is from a soundfont file.
How the add-on sound module work? 1. Tap sound module on upper right corner in the keyboard app 2. It will open sound module if already install, otherwise it directs you to sound module goggle play page 3. Select the instrument you like, a sample sound is play 4. Tap back button and start playing on your keyboard :)
Notice: It is found that certain device auto activates the phone headset. If it happens to you, please post on the forum. Please attached a headset or external/BT speaker to listen to the sound. Known to happen to iRig Keys etc.
Recent changes: - There will be a series of updates coming. - I have test this version to work with phone speaker, ear pieces and external bluetooth speaker. It can connect to external bluetooth but the response will be slower than cable connection. - The sound module has preloaded soundfont for asian instruments.
Previous version: For this version, I have added key release effect. With the sustain button off, the app will take into account of when you release the key on your usb midi keyboard.

Better than the best external midi controller app ever for Android Better than others in Android platform in terms of latency of sounds played in real time. But still lags...when sustained all notes can be heard, but without sustain most notes cut. Otherwise this is the only one in the playstore to practice/ play external midi keyboard or piano. And also the sound bank might may not work for many users, but given Instruments are enough for practice. My kind request to the developer is please develop further cauz this one is better than the best available now. Thanks

It works, but its slow, and the sustain wont turn off, and the keys stay
grey, minor problems but would be nice to fix
★★☆☆☆
Recognizes something being plugged in, but doesn't produce any sound, with
or without keyboard. Apart from a static image of some piano keys, there is
only a loader of some kind. But no sound is no sound. It also keeps
redirecting me to the Play Store.
★★☆☆☆
Input and sound decay issues Used on Xperia Z2, the sound wont decay when I release the keys (Maudio keystation 49e), also it crackles and plays random pitches when I press the same key sometimes!
★★☆☆☆
My phone crashed repeatedly Installed it, and my galaxy note 5 crashed three times...every time my phone restarted the app kept popping up like some kind of virus....had to Uninstall it so my phone could function 👎
★★☆☆☆
Doesn't work with cheap USB midi from ebay No sound. App crashes with sound module will uninstall and try it one more time.
