Falling Notes Piano Trainer vs NoteFall Piano

Learn, practice, transcribe, and edit piano music in one place. FallingNotes lets you load MIDI files, practice them with a MIDI-compatible keyboard, and shape the music directly in a visual falling-notes editor. Watch notes fall toward the keyboard, pause until you play the right notes, follow staff notation for sight-reading, and edit performances with precise musical control. Version 3.0 is a major expansion. FallingNotes is now not only a practice app, but also a piano performance editor. You can edit notes, tempo, velocity, pedal, tracks, and timing; transcribe piano audio to MIDI; transfer expression from one performance to another; and export standard MIDI files for use in other tools or supported player-piano workflows. Features: • Load standard MIDI files or choose from included songs • Connect a MIDI-compatible keyboard for interactive practice • Practice left hand, right hand, selected tracks, or the full song • Pause on notes and continue only when you play • View active notes on the staff for sight-reading support • Edit individual notes or groups of notes visually • Change pitch, timing, length, velocity, and track assignment • Add or remove time in the score • Edit tempo changes with a visual speed profile • Transcribe piano audio into editable MIDI • Transfer timing, velocity, and pedal expression from another performance • Compare transferred expression with ghost-note overlays • Smooth tempo profiles while preserving overall timing • Capture synchronized MIDI and audio takes for paired practice or dataset creation • Choose from multiple animated falling-note visual styles • Export MIDI files with standard tempo events for compatibility with other MIDI software • Export MIDI files in Steinway Spirio-compatible format for supported player pianos FallingNotes is designed for pianists, learners, arrangers, and anyone who wants to understand and reshape piano performances visually.

NoteFall — a gamified way to practice on your MIDI keyboard NoteFall sits somewhere between a game and a practice tool. Connect a MIDI keyboard, pick an exercise or a piece, and play the notes as they fall oward the keys in time with the metronome. The app listens to every key you press and gives you instant audio and visual feedback — no waiting, no scoring screens between attempts. What it isn't NoteFall isn't a full game — there are no scores, no leaderboards, no daily challenges. And it isn't a replacement for lessons or real practice — it won't teach you technique, posture, phrasing, or musicality. That's what a teacher and time at the bench are for. What it is: a way to make the repetitive parts of practice less of a slog. Drilling a scale at 80 BPM, looping the four bars you keep flubbing, getting your hands used to a new key — the falling-notes format makes those reps easier to start and easier to stick with. What's included - Scales — major, natural minor, harmonic minor, and jazz modes, across 1 to 4 octaves - Arpeggios — major and minor triads plus dominant 7ths and 9ths - Famous pieces — short, recognizable excerpts from Bach, Beethoven, Mozart, Chopin, Debussy and others Controls that get out of your way - Adjustable tempo with a precise metronome — slow it down, then push the BPM up - Hand separation — left, right, or both together - Subdivision control — quarter notes, eighths, triplets, sixteenths - Repeat loops to drill the bars that aren't sticking - Mute the metronome or the piano sound independently Optional add-ons NoteFall is a one-time purchase. Two optional packs extend it — no subscription, no ads: - Exercise Pack — Hanon Part 1 and selected Part 2 études, plus the full set of scales and arpeggios in every key, mode, and octave span - Custom Content Pack — import any MusicXML or MIDI file and play it back as a falling-notes exercise. Use the companion website at https://notefall.jrglee.dev to turn a MusicXML or MIDI file into an import link, then tap it on your device to open it straight in the app — useful for sheet music you've found online, exported from a notation app, or transcribed yourself Requirements NoteFall is designed for use with a MIDI keyboard (USB or Bluetooth). It will run without one, but the experience is built around playing on real keys.
