Features

1. Music score and piano roll notation make it fun and easy to learn!
Chordana Play displays the music score and piano roll notation for built-in songs and MIDI files. With MIDI files, you can select which tracks to play with your left and right hands, or you can assign the melody to the right hand and chords generated by the app to your left hand. Slow the tempo, transpose the score into a key that is easier to play, and with the AB repeat function, take lessons (practice) at your own pace.
You can take three-step lessons using the virtual on-screen keyboard. Select from 128 kinds of tone quality. Plus, a scoring system lets you keep track of your improving skills.

2. Use the 50 built-in songs or import standard MIDI files
Play one of the 50 songs included in Chordana Play, or add MIDI files.
Chordana Play can generate a music score from the MIDI file and detect chords, too, making it easy to learn to play two-handed piano. You can search for MIDI files using the browser on your smartphone or tablet (smart device), then import them into Chordana Play. Plus you can import MIDI files from a personal computer to Chordana Play via iTunes.

*A music scores from the MIDI file is generated automatically, and therefore the score shown may differ from the original music score.

3. Practice anytime and anywhere with the virtual keyboard
Using the virtual keyboard displayed on your smart device, you can take a three-step lesson while following the music score and piano roll. The scoring feature makes mastering a song even more fun.

4. Keyboard Link function
When you connect your smart device with an audio cable(*1) to a keyboard(*2), the melody and chord names can be sent along with the audio signal(*3). With a light-up keyboard, the keys corresponding to the notes light up as the MIDI file plays, helping you to play along(*4). Plus, the song data can be saved on the keyboard, allowing you to practice step-up lessons with just the keyboard.(*5)

*1: Stereo mini to stereo mini cable required.
*2: Compatible with LK-265, CTK-2500, CTK-2550, and CTK-3500 keyboard models.
*3: Song audio is sent using the left channel of the smart device stereo output, while the melody and chord data is sent on the right channel.
*4: On the CTK-3500, notes and chords for the melody are shown on the LCD.
*5:
●If using right-hand (melody) and chord data, up to approximately 880 notes of the right-hand part can be transferred to the keyboard, assuming two chords per measure for 200 measures.
●If using right-hand (melody) and left-hand (accompaniment) data, up to approximately 1100 notes can be transferred.
●If non-note MIDI data (patches, pedals, etc.) is included, this reduces the number of notes that can be transferred, leading to potential errors even if the approximate limit of 880 or 1100 notes is observed.

Hate it

Hate it it is stupid dumb and I do not like I


I love it
totiedr5nobaanesgf

My Casio piano has nothing to play but when I found this...


Useless
aryvicali

I downloaded it for like 2 seconds. COMPLETELY USELESS. It only has like two songs. Go YouTube and play whatever song you’d like on your keyboard and if you don’t have one download another app.


Won’t stay connected
loveknowledge

It won’t stay connected with the Casio LK-265. Frustrating experience with this App! It makes the lighted keys become more confusing for my kid than helping her.


so sad
Alweo

I purchased a Casio LK-265 for my son because of this app. This app does not work on his ipad because it is “too old”. 300$ down the drain as we are not buying another ipad.


Will not import midi files
N_tripathi

Tried with a bunch of different midi files nine of which were properly imported


It will not import Midi files
mfree77

When you download them and import them, the app opens but nothing is in the midi file. Terrible design.


Garbage
Bic Biz

Doesn’t detect MIDI files!


Won't import MIDI files
Greenman4621

The app was once halfway decent when I downloaded it the first time about a year ago, I had ZERO problems when it came to transferring midi files to the app, and then onto my LK-265, but now it's a completely different story...The app will no longer load imported midi files, no matter how many times I try, and no matter how many different methods I try to use...the outcome is the same, so basically this app is 100% completely useless. The sad thing about this is that the app hasn't improved and/or been upgraded one single bit since it was first released, and you know that the developers have read the reviews attributed to their app, so that goes to tell you how much they care about their customers. I wonder when someone from Casio will finally speak up and do something about this ongoing 2-3 year problem. You’re letting your customers down Casio! Step up and fix the problem. -Dave.B


Fun to play with but unusable.
DecoyHuman

Fun to mess around with but obviously on a phone screen it is impossible to actually play anything. This could have been implemented and executed much much better. Unfortunately that's why it only gets 2 stars. Unfortunately it's unusable.
