Use cases

More than
piano practice.

Piazono can help you practise, teach, explore harmony, capture musical ideas and continue your work in your favourite DAW.

01 — One instrument, several workflows

Play. Understand. Capture. Continue.

Piazono sits between piano practice, music education and creative production. Connect a MIDI keyboard, play naturally and use the visual feedback and recording tools according to the way you work.

  1. Play
  2. See
  3. Analyse
  4. Record
  5. Export

02 — Piano practice

Make daily practice more visual.

See every note

Follow the notes you play on the 88-key piano and on treble and bass staves while you practise.

Work on scales

Use the scale trainer to practise roots, patterns and keyboard positions with immediate visual feedback.

Practise with structure

Use the metronome, practice timer, session history and recording tools to build a regular practice routine.

03 — Online piano teaching

A visual companion for online lessons.

Piazono can be useful during remote piano lessons when you share your screen with a student.

Show what you play

Demonstrate a passage on your MIDI keyboard while the student sees the corresponding keys and notation on screen.

Explain harmony visually

Play chords, inversions and progressions while Piazono displays the notes and chord information in real time.

Make demonstrations easier to follow

Visual keyboard activity can help students understand voicings, keyboard positions and harmonic relationships that may be difficult to see through a webcam alone.

Piazono does not provide video calling itself. It can be screen-shared alongside services such as Zoom, Microsoft Teams or Google Meet.

04 — Harmony & chord progressions

Explore harmony directly at the keyboard.

Piazono can also be used as a practical visual workspace for exploring chords and harmonic ideas.

Test chord progressions

Play a sequence of chords and immediately see how the notes move from one harmony to the next.

Explore voicings

Compare inversions, different bass notes and keyboard positions while keeping the harmonic structure visible.

Recognise chords

Use chord detection as a reference while experimenting with major, minor, extended and other chord shapes.

05 — Musical idea capture

Capture the idea before it disappears.

A chord progression, melody or voicing can appear while you are simply practising. Piazono lets you record the performance while the idea is still fresh.

  1. 01

    Play the idea

    Experiment naturally on your MIDI keyboard without first having to program notes into a sequencer.

  2. 02

    Record it

    Capture the performance in Piazono and replay it immediately.

  3. 03

    Save the performance

    Keep the idea for later instead of relying on memory.

Piazono can therefore be used not only as a practice tool, but also as a lightweight musical sketchpad for MIDI keyboard players.

06 — Continue in your DAW

From piano idea to production.

Piazono does not have to be the final step. Export your performance as MIDI and continue editing and producing your music in your preferred DAW.

  1. Record
  2. Save
  3. Export MIDI
  4. Import into DAW
  5. Produce

Edit the notes

Adjust timing, note lengths, velocities or individual notes after importing the MIDI performance.

Change instruments

Use the recorded piano performance to control virtual pianos, synthesizers, strings or other instruments.

Build the arrangement

Add drums, bass, vocals and additional parts around the original musical idea.

Develop the harmony

Copy, transpose or alter your chord progression as the composition evolves.

Keep your performance

MIDI preserves note, timing and performance data so the idea remains editable instead of being fixed as rendered audio.

Finish the production

Continue arranging, mixing and producing with the tools already available in your music-production environment.

Standard MIDI files exported from Piazono can be used with DAWs that support MIDI import.

07 — Songwriting & composition

Build ideas at the instrument first.

Not every musical idea begins inside a DAW. Some musicians prefer to discover harmony directly with their hands on the keyboard.

Piazono lets you experiment at the piano, identify chords, record the performance and preserve the MIDI data so the idea can later become part of a larger arrangement.

This makes Piazono useful for chord-based songwriting, accompaniment ideas, harmonic sketches, melodies and early arrangement work.

08 — Music students

Connect theory with the keyboard.

Notes and notation

Connect the physical key you press with the corresponding pitch and staff position.

Chords and inversions

Explore how different keyboard shapes relate to chord names and harmonic structure.

Rhythm and timing

Practise with a metronome and review recorded performances to identify timing issues.

09 — Workflow

From practice to production.

  1. 01

    Connect

    Connect your MIDI keyboard and select the MIDI input in Piazono.

  2. 02

    Explore

    Practise, demonstrate a lesson, test chords or discover a new musical idea.

  3. 03

    Record

    Capture the performance while keeping your focus on the keyboard.

  4. 04

    Export

    Save the performance as MIDI or WAV according to your workflow.

  5. 05

    Continue

    Import MIDI into your DAW when you want to edit, arrange or develop the idea further.
