beginner questions...

[Dean Taylor]

hello

Three, quick 'beginner' questions:

1) Am I able to increase the size of the simulated 'Yamaha' keyboard? Or, if not, may I plug in a MIDI keyboard?

2) Is it possible to sustain a series of notes after releasing struck key(s) (when, e.g., testing intervals dyads) and then 'dampen'
all those notes--versus hold/sustain?

3) Is it possible to 'clear' piano key note letters (they do build up) to eliminate keyboard clutter?

Those three questions for now--thank you!

Hi Dean,

1) The size of the on-screen piano depends on the size of the window. However, the octaves relevant to each question will always be displayed on the screen, so scrolling the keyboard should not be necessary in EarMaster.

2) No, unfortunately this is not possible, unless of course you use a MIDI keyboard and hold the keys in for as long as you would like to hear the interval or chord in question.

3) The note names are only displayed on the piano in activities where the number of identical tones can be max 2. In activities where more occurrences of the same tone can happen, the note names are not displayed on the piano interface (melodic dictation for instance).

I hope this answers your questions. Otherwise, please feel welcome to ask more
