+ Download PianoBooster
+
+ The current version of PianoBooster is 0.6.4
+
+ Requirements
+
+ To run Piano Booster you need a MIDI Piano Keyboard and a MIDI interface for the PC. (If you
+ don't have a MIDI keyboard you can still try out PianoBooster using the PC keyboard, 'x' is
+ middle C -- but a MIDI piano is recommend).
+
+ To hear the music you will need a General Midi compatible sound synthesizer. Unfortunately
+ the "Microsoft GS Wavetable software synthesizer" that comes with Windows introduces an
+ unacceptable delay (latency) between pressing a note and hearing the sound. For this reason
+ the use of "Microsoft GS Wavetable software synthesizer" is not recommend. Please see the
+ forum section of this website for possible solutions.
+ MIDI files
+
+ To run PianoBooster you will need some Midi files preferably with right and left piano parts on channels 4 and 3.
+ Some high quality demo MIDI files that are compatible with
+ PianoBooster are available here.
+
+ Executable for Windows
+
+ There is now an installer/uninstaller for windows. Just download and run this setup program.
+
+
+
+ Executable for The Mac
+
+ Piano Booster has been tested with SimplSynth
+ for the Mac which can be obtained for free (MIT license).
+
+
+
+ Version 0.6.4 for the Mac is coming soon in the meantime here is the previous release.
+ A universal binary for the Mac (Thanks to Christian).
