Developer’s Description

By DemonicSoftware

Transform your PC keyboard into a piano.

DSW Piano is a small yet powerful program that lets you play music on your computer. The only thing you need is Windows, and a keyboard. DSW Piano transforms your keyboard into a piano, or any of the 128 General MIDI instruments available on any computer with a soundcard. If your computer does not have a soundcard, thats not a problem - DSW Piano can play notes on your PCs internal speaker (on a desktop, this is usually on the motherboard or inside the case), however the sound produced by this is a very basic "chirp" sound with no volume control. This version is the first release on CNET Download.com.

Nice, but not easy to use

Pros
Everything is there
Cons
The computer keyboard doesn't link in a logical pattern to the piano keyboard
Summary
I hope they make it more user friendly
good tool but pitch too high
Hilary888May 18, 2011
Pros
Simple, effective
Cons
For those singers out there, the pitch is too high. There is no means of altering the pitch as I could see.
Summary
Great little gadget for everyone except those who wish to rehearse vocally.
Be careful !!!

Pros
It sounds like fun.
Cons
I went to there web site. It takes you to a site where there is nothing but other sites to click on. It makes me worry about what it puts on my PC.
Summary
There web site is nothing more than a search engine.

Pros
+ Easy interface and help file + Uses keyboard buttons to play + Supports MIDI IN and OUT + Allows to play together with multiple computers + Uses MIDI sets on the pc (a normal pc has 128 instruments + Extremely small programme (less than 2mb)
Cons
- Does not come with MIDI instruments, so sound quality is pretty bland - Only supports MIDI IN and keyboard for input (so no mouse support - Cannot save file as MIDI files, only in a custom format
Summary
An extremely simple and small program, just what I was searching for, because I play keyboard myself and I wanted to do it on my pc. Although it lacks some MIDI tables for better sound quality (it works with the ones pre-installed with windows) and the ability to save to MIDI, it doesn't make any promises for those kinds of things anyways. However, MIDI IN and OUT support are a welcome surprise as well as an feature to connect to other pc's, which also comes with a chat window (not tested). All in all DSW piano could be better, but it already a nice little program as is.
It's free, it works

Fun software
PlonkelyJuly 26, 2009
Pros
Huge variety of instruments. Ability to record music.
Cons
Lack of ability to use the mouse to play keys.
Summary
Good bit of software for having a fiddle on the piano. The ability to record and play-back your recordings is also very good. Would be nice to also be able to play the keys by clicking on them instead of having to use the keyboard.

Pros
It was simple to install and it is so user friendly that I would recommend this software to everyone. I really enjoyed exploring marimba and steel drums for a Caribean mood. I also enjoyed the woodblock , tubular bells, and vocal tones.
Cons
When you press numbers in order to get flats on the lower scale it leaps to a different instrument which actually is a good short cut to changing between sound effects.
Summary
I enjoyed this software because it is easy to use and the wonderful collection of instruments.
excellent..

Pros
easy to use and free
Cons
it would have been nice if the sound generated is recordable as wav files
