Kiss Tunes makes your PC a finely tuned musical instrument
by James in Audio/Video Gadgets, Miscellaneous Gadgets
KissTunes. It's website and a musical instrument.
… well, sort of. But for budding musicians who are geeks with a rock god fantasy, it’s a fairly cool concept. The Kiss Tunes website turns your laptop into an electronic keyboard, assigning white and black keys to the first two rows of the QWERTY Keyboard. With it, you can record songs, edit and share with others using the KissTunes website (registration is required).
With the simple click of your mouse on the keyboard, you can activate the interface. Then, as you play the QWERTY, the keys light in the KissTunes interface. This means that one can use KissTunes also as a learning tool. And with the recording option, students can hear their lessons on playback. Players also have the option to change instruments from Acoustic Grand Piano, Electric Piano, Steel Guitar and Kalimba instruments.
Check out this cool video of KissTunes in action.
Now, of course the utility doesn’t cover the entire range of a piano or keyboard, and doesn’t allow for writing down the songs you play, so more advanced musicians should try JamStudio, which mimmicks everything from guitar to piano to drums and everything in between.

August 27th, 2009 at 10:02 pmThis is actually so far out from the conventional piano. Whatever happened to those big black shiny grands? Why are we now down to pressing keys of laptops just to be able to hear piano sound? I’m so sad. Nonetheless, I’m happy for those interested to learn to play the piano/keyboard (duh!) in any way they can.
