Musical Pro Update Preview (MIDI Support)

I just finished up the latest update to Musical Pro, which I will hopefully be publishing tomorrow.  I just have to finalize the Desktop Client (more on that in a bit).  I’ll post a more comprehensive explanation tomorrow, but there are two new features (one minor feature that everyone asked for, and one major feature that almost nobody asked for).

On the minor front, the scrollable piano can now be locked so it doesn’t scroll by accident.

The major feature is that the Piano and Keyboard can now act as MIDI controllers for your computer over WIFI.  This means, for example, that you can use the touchscreen to record or input notes into Finale/Sibelius/GarageBand/etc.  This will be made possible by a Desktop application that will run in the background and communicate with the G1 over WIFI (although, it is technically possible to use USB as well, but it will require some setup).  It will initially (hopefully tomorrow) be released for Windows only, because I don’t have a Mac, but the application is written in Java, so it should (in theory) also work on a Mac.  If anyone wants to test it for me, shoot me an email and if it works, I’ll release official Mac support.

The idea for the MIDI support came from a user, so remember, don’t hesitate to email me if there is anything you would like that Musical doesn’t currently have.

UPDATE: The desktop client is available for download here http://www.souvey.com/musical.  You must have the latest version of Musical (released on June 18th)

    Hi! I can’t get the Musical Pro from the Market… I tried US, german and UK market, it can’t be found :S

  19. Christopher Souvey says:

    If you have a Dev phone or a bad ROM you may not be able to see copy protected applications. Can you see other paid applications?

  20. Jim Tore says:

    I can see other paid apps, yes. But not yours and not thos by EA Games either. Really weird. A friend of mine tried, same thing. What market should I look in? US or UK market? ‘Cause they got different apps… To bad there are no databases on the internet…

  21. Christopher Souvey says:

    It is setup to show in every Market where paid applications are available (I’ve gotten purchases from both the US and UK). There actually is a database online at http://www.cyrket.com that lists everything in the Market–and it shows up there (as well as on my phone). What ROM are you using?

  22. Jim Tore says:

    It is Daldroids ROM. Only one working…

  23. Christopher Souvey says:

    Hm… I’ve never used Daldroids, but I know it works on JF, Haykuro, Ion, Rogers, SuperHero, and NK
