-Free Application Available for Download at iTunes App Store-
ANAHEIM, Calif.— Yamaha will demonstrate its new, free iPhone/iPad app, “Piano Diary,” at Winter NAMM 2012. Yamaha developed the app as a tool to both motivate and enhance daily piano practice and performance by students, intermediate players and advanced hobbyists alike.
Compatible with any MIDI instrument, it’s designed to help users manage, archive and share piano performances.
Piano Diary runs on the iOS 5 platform and is currently available for download on the iTunes App Store.
Piano Diary enables users to record performances, monitor practice time, upload performances to YouTube and carry their performances anywhere. The App’s recording functionality lets users record daily performances for later playback to their keyboard, either for listening/critiquing or to perform as a duet with themselves. It also allows easy search of performances stored in the App by date/time or name. In addition, it stores all performances automatically on Piano Diary servers in the ‘Cloud,’ ensuring that they can be accessed via any device. A guest mode is available for those who do not wish to store their recordings to the Piano Diary servers.
To help users monitor practice time, Piano Diary keeps track of important statistics, including duration of playing and the number of notes played. Players can additionally compare their practice time to other users of Piano Diary. The App also enables users to add a slideshow of favorite photos to their music by automatically uploading them as a movie on YouTube to share with family and friends.
Piano Diary even enables performances to “go portable.”Users can listen to and enjoy their performances whenever and wherever they are using the Piano Diary software synthesizer on their iPhone/iPad or via the Internet from shared YouTube movies.
“Piano Diary is a great tool to help players sharpen their piano skills and share them with the world,” says Jim Levesque, Hybrid Piano Marketing Manager, Yamaha Corporation of America. “Innovative apps like Piano Diary embody Yamaha’s commitment to revolutionizing how piano music is taught, learned, performed and shared.”
