Smart Pianist - US 4+

Great quality music and love how you can make it sound like different music. I highly recommend it for all music lovers!

I love my yamaha PS-500. But, I am hoping you can add more foundations for Bosendorfer in the app. 1. I could not adjust the depth for keys. 2. The reaction (sensitivity) of the keys are slow. 3. Also, it will be great if the metronome can do more improvements. For example, it is very difficult to aim the increasing and decreasing tempo buttons. If it could change to circle shape, it makes easier to change tempos.

I just received a Yamaha Clavinova CSP-170 yesterday and was eager to try out this essential app to go with the piano. The app doesn’t disappoint as it unlocks features often found only in the higher-end and more expensive CVP Clavinova line. These include a wide variety of realistic instrumental voices, multi-track recording, and auto-accompaniment styles that analyze your playing to simulate a backup band or orchestra accompanying you. The most innovative feature is the app’s ability to take songs from your iPad’s music library and generate an interactive chord chart for you to play along with. While the chord analysis isn’t perfect, it is amazing how far the technology has come. When it does not analyze the harmonies correctly, I like how you can go in and easily edit the chart when you know the chord just isn’t right. These are all features found in Yamaha’s other Chord Tracker app, but Smart Pianist takes it to a whole new level by quickly generating a digital sheet music score that can be customized to the song’s style and pianist’s ability. It took some getting use to the instrument’s built-in Stream Lights, but this can be a very handy practice tool for users that need extra assistance in finding the correct keys to play. I commend Yamaha on putting together a winning combination of software and a fine musical instrument.
