This free and open source program emulates a piano, but can use all available MIDI instruments, instead of just the piano. You can use this program to play almost any music you like.

## Features

* Full chording support in program, but due to the keyboard chording limitations, only 3 - 7 keys may be pressed simultaneously, so your milage may vary.
* Multitouch with hardware support.
* Recording music into a MIDI file.
* Key signature changing.
* Different keyboard layouts.
* Using Windows's builtin beeping functionality when MIDI is unavailable.
