Hello,
This post is for the dev team of Synthesia...
I use Synthesia with a lumi keys keyboard.
-on a pc -Windows 10 : V10.8.5686
-on an Ipad : V10.8.5687
It is working perfectly with the PC version (kudos for this excellent training software !)
With the Ipad version, it is very odd :
-not all the notes to be played are illulminated
-when chords most of the time only the lowest note glows
-it is not related to a given key.
To try to understand, I generated my own midi file
and found that only the lowest note of chords glows and some notes keep glowing without being hit...
Maybe my file is not made correctly for Synthesia.
So, I found a very simple song in your Library that perfectly shows the issue.
« oh when the saints », choose the left hand practice.
Here is the detailled behaviour of my lumi keys :
F,G : OK
E,G : OK
D,G : OK
C,E,G : OK
F,G :OK
E,G : only E glows
D, G :only D glows
C,E,G :only C glows
The same works perfectly on Windows.
I had a look with a midi analyzer and the main difference between both is that on Windows we see only channels 1 and 2.
On the Ipad,, the channels sometimes switch to 5,6,12 – never above 12.
This looks like an MPE behaviour…
There are 2 differences between window and Ios :
-the version of Synthesia (5686 older for Windows vs 5687 ios)
-the lumi keys is linked by a usb cable on Windows, and Bluetooth for Ios
I tried about all the possible settings in Synthesia but nothing solves the issue.
I suspect a bug somewhere.
Installing IpadOS 16.1.1 from 15.8 did not improve anything.
Updating Lumi Keys firmware, changing the mode (MPE.Multi, singke) did nothing.
So the focus comes on Synthesia for Ipad.
Can you have a look and solve that ?
