    Review Synthesia

    Although there are many musical instruments that we might want to learn to play. Usually, most users are interested in some of them very specific, such as the guitar or the piano. And if there are several programs designed to learn to play the guitar from your computer, you should not lose sight of the fact that there are others to have a first approach to the piano, such as Synthesia.

    As you can see then, Synthesia is a paid service with a trial version, which has been developed so that those who want to have a first experience with the piano can do it without having to buy a musical instrument that is not at all economical. In any case, you will find in this utility every one of the necessary functions to learn to play the piano, and then you can move on to the instrument itself.

    How it works

    One of the most outstanding features of Synthesia is that it allows us to divide the notations according to the hand we want to use for practice, left or right, of course, even being able to activate only half a piano. This is essential, taking into account that at the beginning, we may have some difficulties in trying to synchronize our two extremities so that we will get faster results.

    Besides that, Synthesia has many other alternatives and functions that do it a customizable service for each user, considering that you can modify the tempo of each song and even test yourself thanks to a challenge mode. In this mode, the music will start while you try to guess all the notes, and in case you fail, the song will begin again to solve possible mistakes.

    To make things a little easier, Synthesia has a series of songs already loaded into the system, more than 100 in total and generally very well known. Hence, you leave knowing how to play some classics on your piano. Anyway, you should know that you can add as many songs as you want using the many MIDI files you can find online.

    Are you a fan of the famous Guitar Hero? Then you will find that Synthesia gives you some fun winks since we have, for example, a function thanks to which you can see the notes you play falling from the screen, as in that game.

    The user interface of Synthesia is, on the other hand, excellent. It is not only that the piano is perfectly designed but also that all the movements produced from it are pleasing to the eye, perfect, and well-defined. You will even see your hands appear on the screen, giving you a realistic visual.

    Keep in mind

    Although Synthesia can be enjoyed without any problem from your computer, with the PC keyboard, you will indeed have a much better experience if you have a MIDI controller keyboard. At the same time, it goes without saying that to take advantage of a tool of this type, it is convenient to have some previous knowledge.

    On the other hand, we mentioned at the beginning of the review that Synthesia is not a free application. Still, you can only try it for a couple of weeks before paying to continue using its functions. Indeed, we recommend that if you are determined to acquire a platform of this type, give it a try because you will probably consider later that it is worth spending some money on it.

    The best

    Synthesia has many positive features, starting with giving us access to several modes of use. Many are directly oriented to users taking their first steps with this instrument. You have to add the possibility of uploading more songs to those that appear by default, connecting a MIDI keyboard, and finally, the small but entertaining additions, such as the Guitar Hero style visualizations.

    The worst

    Although Synthesia has no significant weaknesses, two are impossible to miss, especially if you're not sure you're dedicated to playing the piano. In the first instance, you need to have basic knowledge of this instrument or a lot of patience. Secondly, this is not a particularly cheap application, so you should take advantage of the trial period.

    Rating

    Synthesia is a perfect paid application for learning to play the piano, one that will allow you to improve your skills with this instrument. Of course, you must be willing to pay some money to access such a utility. In any case, among the paid services to learn to play the piano, it is undoubtedly among the best.
