New: AcustiX EtudiX Piano Tutor

Learning to play a music piece with EtudiX is very simple.

• Step 1: Open a Midi file

• Step 2: Select a Midi In and Midi Out Device

• Step 3: Select a Track from the Midi file

• Step 4: Select a Program (Instrument)

• Step 5: Learn to play visually using the navigation buttons and a Piano or Midi Keyboard

Navigation



You step thru the midi file using the navigation buttons.
You step forward thru the midi file using the Step Forward button.
You step backward thru the midi file using the Step Backward button.
You can go to the beginning and end of a midi file using the Goto Begin and Goto End buttons.
You can also listen to the midi file continuously by using the Play and Reset button.

Chord Mode and Note Mode

There are basically two learning modes: Chord Mode and Note Mode.
In Chord mode you step thru the midi file chord by chord. This means that when keys on the keyboard need to be hit together, they will be shown together.
In Note Mode you step thru the midi file one note at a time.

Marker



You can set a marker to help you remember a certain point in your midi file. When a marker is set you can easily return to that note or chord. You can set a marker using the Set Mark button. The mark will be displayed in the marker textbox. You can immediately go back to that mark by clicking the Goto Mark button.

Midi Keyboard or Piano

You can learn to play using a Midi Keyboard or a Piano. A Midi Keyboard is not strictly necessary, but the advantage is that you see the keys you play in blue.
