Concert Creator AI

Frédéric L

I have just discovered Concert Creator AI which is like Synthesia, but shows the hands (computed by an AI), and even the pianist depending of the point of view.

When importing a MIDI file, it expects all notes separated in two channels (left/right hand). It has also an audio import option I haven’t tried.

(However, I find the score the best way to give me the note I should play and even more.)

And it is free !

It should be seen like an enhanced and free Synthesia, no more…

And like I said, it will not help many to learn a piece of music :

Cool. I'm going to try it out when I get to work. My internet connection is very poor at my house and would take over an hour to download 500MB.

God bless,

I get "Secure connection failed and Firefox did not connect" from Firefox. And similar from Chrome.

I visited the website, and I am puzzled by the purpose of this program... It seems that it takes a midi file and creates a fancy 3D animation movie of an avatar simulating whole body movements of that particular music. Is that all?

The 3D looks very impressive, but is it useful to anyone? For what? Fingering?

Some stuff at the fringes of ai works amazingly well now…

vagfilm is it useful to anyone?

Just wait until pete discovers the lola-avatar!

Synthesia has some nice learning tools: play only one hand, wait for note, easy navigation and random access through the music, easy selection of loops for learning a section, automatic (although imperfect) music sheet from midi, output to any midi ports, and others. Is this really "enhanced"?

I guess I had a restricted view of Syntesia. I have to admit I know mostly this product by the video which are available on YouTube where none of the functions you cite are available.

Concert Creator has some useful function : speed, loop, but no wait after your note.

I mean by enhanced, the draw of the hand playing the keys.

Printing score from MIDI wasn’t a function I would expect from Synthesia. I see thus product more about a vertical pianoroll viewing.

Both product would need a PC tablet to be used efficiently… and I have none. Then I don’t think I would use them for a while.

I really like Synthesia, if you approach it with the right frame of mind. As a learning TOOL it has many interesting things. It suffers from the bad reputation of the falling notes (which you can disable) - even its website is called "synthesiaGAME" which is not helpful if you want to create a new reputation as learning tool. But its engine is powerful and its handling of MIDI connections is extensive. It will take you a couple of minutes to load an orchestral MIDI file, check the MIDI channels of all instruments, and set up a Kontakt file with orchestral VSTs listening to the correct midi channels. Or the same with a DAW... This coupled with a simple interface to jump to any part of the score. As a midi player it beats almost everything I have tried. So, it has helpful features to beginners and convenient features to the others...

I sent a message to them describing the problem, but I got no response.
The software still will not download.
