Pianoputer.js
The pianoputer allows you to play piano pieces on your computer keyboard, like in this video.
In the video I use the Python version of the program, which works great, but not anyone wants to deal with Python. This project is ab out a browser-based Javascript implementation of the pianoputer.
For now it works on Google Chrome, for QWERTY layouts, but it's still far from perfect, I am not a JS guru, at all. Anyone who wants to improve the program is most welcome. The key features I have in mind are:
- No lag (the sound plays immediately when you press a key)
- Support of multiple keyboard layouts.
- A choice of several possible sounds.
Run the program
Just unzip everything in one folder and open pianoputer.html.
To get a new keyboard configuration (which is basically a list of the codes of the keys in your browser) run print_keydowns.html.
