Perfekt für den Unterricht und zuhause, danke für die tolle App!!
Ich bin Klavierlehrerin und habe äusserst gute Erfahrungen mit der App gemacht. Die Kids lieben sie und machen innerhalb weniger Wochen grosse Fortschritte!!
Danke!!!
Notenerkennung und MIDI Interface
Leider werden die Noten bei mir nicht alle sauber erkannt, was es schnell mühsam macht. Habe diverse Pianoeinstellungen getestet, ohne Erfolg.
Mein Vorschlag, fügt ein MIDI Interface hinzu, dann sind die Probleme mit den störenden Hintergrundgeräuschen auch gleich gelöst.
Awful setup
Tuny did nothing…. Tried the App microphone settings…. Turned up the keyboard…nothing… Gave up🤷🏻♂️
Developer Response ,
Hi Ducksdeluxe,
thanks for the feedback!
I am happy to help out: most probably you have accidentally pressed “not allow” when asked about microphone permissions (this can easily happen and lead to the described behavior). To solve it: please go to the settings of your device, find TunyStones in the app list and set “allow microphone access”.
I hope it helped!
If the problem was solved and you are happy with the app, please change your rating to avoid misleading other users.
If no and in case of any doubts or requried support, please contact us here: info@tunystones.com
Looking forward to your reply!
Kind regards,
Jan
