Topic: Pause MIDI and keys visibility

Hi!

I want to be able to able to see the keys being pressed while playing a MIDI even if I press pause - Is that possible?

My goal is to play/pause to follow up the notes being played to learn at my own pace.

Thanks!

I don’t think this is possible as it doesn’t make much sense anyway (playing without playing).
You probably just need to slow down the tempo while playing the midi.

Best.

I think there are training apps that will do what you want. What you can do with Pianoteq after loading a midi file is [short] click on >> and it will play the next note group and display the chord name and keys to press on Pianoteq's keyboard. Click again for the next note group.

Maybe Synthesia   ( https://synthesiagame.com) is what you are looking for. It is not free but not expensive either .
