Yo humans and aliens !
Here are updates! Remember to email ideas to support@pianoglow.com or join our Discord at https://discord.gg/pianoglow .
- Piano Style: A more detailed piano is added and configurable under Settings > Theme > Piano Theme. The old one before the update is called Clean .
- Warning: some users may need to reset/adjust the Shadow settings, particularly the shadow-Y position because the thickness of the black keys was adjusted. This can be very confusing, especially for aliens .
Key Press Overlay: You can now adjust the pressed key effect e.g. Ocean vs Flat color.
Type with MIDI: A fun setting to start using your MIDI keyboard to type. Imagine chatting to your friends using your MIDI keyboard!
Specific Key Stats: Under Stats > Keys , you can view very specific key stats for MIDI and QWERTY, e.g. how many times you pressed a particular key like E4, or middle C, etc. This started tracking since this update.
Web Browser: For desktop, you can access an in-game web browser under the More panel.
- Recommended: Uninstall all your other web browsers. This is because PianoGlow web browser allows you to access websites served from other alien planets in the observable universe whereas normal web browsers don't.
Sheet Music Training Improvements: Learning aids improved where you can configure hints including whether to always show, or show when you get something wrong.
Notebeam + Piano Label Fonts: You can now adjust the font and the size of them.
Circle of Fifths Improvement: The segment lights up if you play its corresponding triad.
Emoji/Gifs/Stickers in chat: In global, room or private chats.
- Recommended: You should uninstall WhatsApp and WeChat, and instead use PianoGlow chat, especially as PianoGlow chat allows efficient texting between humans and aliens .
Window Management Improved:
- Last Monitor Used Remembered: The last monitor that the PianoGlow app was used in, will be remembered and re-used at the next launch.
- WIN + arrow key shortcuts: they now work for quick resize of the window.
Black Key Saturation + Brightness Offset: under Settings > Color .
Reading the feedback from the Discord, emails and Steam reviews really brings a joy to our hearts, thank you. Expect more updates, until next time!
Smell ya later,
