Pianissimo is a virtual grand piano that supports MIDI input. It is a very advanced music playback and recording tool that supports two inputs: MIDI and the mouse. If you have a MIDI keyboard or other device, you can connect it to the computer and control the grand piano with it. Additionally, you can use your mouse to press the keys, but I don't really recommend that. Trying to chain two or three notes with the mouse is a challenge. This virtual grand piano also has the two pedals that you would find in a real one. The left one is used to decrease the intensity of notes and the right one is used to keep notes playing for a little longer. Both the pedals and the keys can be controlled via a MIDI device.
There are several other accessories that come with Pianissimo. There is a metronome and a beat maker, both of which can be customized. You can also adjust hammer sounds and tone controls.
There is a recorder that can record the input from your left or right hand so that you can later playback your music. Any recordings that you make can be saved as a MIDI file.
All in all, Pianissimo is not the tool you would use to play around with a Piano. It has very advanced features and excellent sound quality. I think only a real piano player would appreciate the depth this app has to offer.
