Hello,
First, thanks Nicholas (et al.) for making Synthesia! You have done an amazing work. It is really a great program that I have been supporting and talking about for more than 10 years now! I am really glad that it is still alive!
Now my question: Is it possible to alter the Melody practice mode so that it does not stop/wait for us to release a note (but only when we need to press a note)?
Because Synthesia is good if we want to reproduce an actual midi file. But what is missing is we often just want to have fun playing a song (with my kid for instance). Practically, I would like to be able to:
- play extra notes as wanted without blocking the song, when the midi file is too easy
- play a single chord for 4 beats, instead of repeating the same chord every beats, for some midi files
- play a single chord instead of arpeggiated notes, for complex midi files
In these cases, I really don't care about the score. I just want the program to assis us in having fun playing songs we like, while still waiting for us if we are stuck looking for which notes to play.
Another variant would be to play (and wait) for the right hand (played by a kid), while the parent plays the left hand (without interfering with the song flow) as extra notes.
Thanks,
J-F
