Most of the patents on "Score Following" just expired over the last year or two, which opens the doors wide to fixes like these or even larger features like Synthesia "keeping up" with your playing tempo automatically.
It should be very exciting soon!

It's hard to recommend only 25 keys. Synthesia will let you play any song with only one hand at a time, but even single-handed you'll probably bump into one of the edges of the keyboard pretty regularly at that size.

@JoseESanguino
The general advice is to buy from a company where audio/MIDI products are their core competency. Names like M-Audio, Roland, and Yamaha come to mind. As long as their "job" is audio hardware, it should work. Beware of companies that have a wide assortment of unrelated products.

The particles (and live hands over an LED-lit keyboard) are added in post using video editing (or at least custom) software.
We've heard the request a few times now and are investigating how we can make the particle effect in the app a little closer to something this... fancy.

The built-in synth uses WASAPI which is already pretty fast.
We're hoping to add ASIO support eventually, but for now you'll need a third-party DAW that supports ASIO and then use something like loopMIDI or LoopBe1 to send Synthesia's output to the DAW.

The pixel-mixer icons were just stock icons (like the Internet "globe" icon on some of the buttons). I've always been the one making the effects. That said, I was hoping to add newer effects at some point.

We're hoping to release a fix in the next few days. Sorry for the inconvenience! (That's what we get for switching to the "official, new" Android MIDI API. It appears our old, custom USB-MIDI driver was quite a bit more compatible with more hardware.)

The free version lets you play 20 of those as much as you like. Unlocking allows the rest and any other arbitrary MIDI file.

@Zoop_Dewoop
Try the app. If you connect a digital piano, it will wait for you to play the next note correctly. That makes it a little less real time and gives a better chance for comprehension.
I wouldn't call that gall. ;)

@RamyMoustafa
Do you have any MIDI files with quartertones that I might be able to inspect? Outside of using pitch bending under the hood, I'm not sure how they would even be encoded. The MIDI file format is pretty clunky when it comes to any sort of microtonality.

Ha, nice catch! If I had to guess, it's probably using "however the list was already ordered" as a tie-breaker. That will be the order stored on disk, which is roughly by date.
We'll make that smarter. Thanks for the report!

Beyond the finger-hint mechanism we've already got, this is actually something I'd like to tackle in the future. Ideally there'd be some pedagogically-correct, animated 3D hands showing you how things should be done.
There's a mountain of work between here and there, though.

A workaround in the meantime is to use full-screen mode. Press Alt-Enter.

Sorry for the confusion. I skipped a step: Synthesia does not support quartertone notation today. I was asking if you had any MIDI files you might be able to point me toward so that I could investigate how much effort it might take to add that feature.

With the way Synthesia keeps track of your performance and progression, transpose and editing become tricky. See the last post, here:
Otherwise, volume control of each instrument is something we've got on the list to add in a future update.

Although progress has been much slower--nearly stopped, really--during the pandemic. Hopefully that should improve soon.
