Musical Piano Updated (MIDI Instruments)

As planned (see last post), I have released an update to the piano for Musical Pro.   The Keyboard and Piano both now support any of the 128 General MIDI instruments (including such favorites as “gunshot” and “bird tweet”).  In addition, I have added a popularily requested feature–choosing what octaves the pianos operate in.  The improved backend also seems to have made the piano load faster and be generally more responsive.

The update is already available in the Android Market as a free upgrade to all Musical Pro owners.  The download should approximately cut Musical’s filesize in half, down to around 250kb (the side effect of this, however, is that the Keyboard and Piano now require an SD card).  Much of the Piano and Keyboard are completely rewritten, so as always, feel free to email me if you encounter any problems.

    At the moment no, although that is an interesting idea. I think I will add that to my list, as it seems pretty useful…
    The only way the G1 can communicate with the computer though is over WIFI though, and I only have a PC (not a Mac), so I would only be able to make this work on Windows, however, if that still sounds like what you want (Windows and only over WIFI), I will gladly start working on it.
