- Pianists and composers working in a DAW
- Worth noticing
- The page specifies 128 soundboard modes, three pedals including half pedal, and zero samples; its score examples disclose rule-based performances.
Field notes
The example renders include Mutopia Project references, performance notes, gain details, and WAV SHA-256 hashes. The page says its performances follow score markings through rules rather than a human player; it also notes where source scores lacked dynamics and describes the dynamics used for the render. A spectrogram covers 25 Hz to 16 kHz and can be used to jump through playback.
