set up "next notes delay" on android

Trouble with Synthesia, your keyboard, or adapter? Think you found a bug?
When describing problems, always mention your OS and game version (shown at the bottom of the title screen).

If your keyboard has USB or MIDI ports, there is a tremendously high chance (>99%) it will work with Synthesia. See what you'll need on the keyboards page.

Hello,

I used to play Synthesia on windows. Now i play it on a android tablet put on my new piano.
I remember that i was possible to set up the "next notes delay" :

My problem is that when i play a song, sometimes i play too early the next notes (on practice mode) then Synthesia stop the song. this is very frustrating.

Playing notes a bit too early shouldn't be considered as an error.

On windows, there was a parameter we could change to solve this problem... i don't remember what parameter...
Is it possible to do the same on android ?

Thanks

I don't agree with your premise, but I can see how you might feel otherwise. Sorry I can't help you with how you might adjust Synthesia to allow notes to be played earlier. I just have never tried to do this.

To elaborate on my disagreement, at least for some kinds of music, it is more important to play a note at the right time than to play the right note, within reason. One teacher I had gave me the exercise of playing notes very slowly with a metronome with the goal of getting the notes to sound exactly with the ticks of the metronome. Give it a try. It takes a bit of work but it will improve your playing noticeably if you become very accurate in landing your notes on the beat.

Did you mean the "Gameplay.NoteWindowUs" advanced setting in the configuration tool? Outside of some trickery with a rooted device, there isn't a way to adjust any of those in the tablet versions of Synthesia. I've been considering a way to bulk import/export all your settings on tablets as a kind of backup/migration feature, but it would also have the benefit of being able to adjust a setting elsewhere and then import it to your tablet.
