Importing Piano Sheets into Smart Pianist App for Yamaha CSP Digital Piano - Two Hands Separate
Summary
TLDRIn this tutorial, the speaker demonstrates how to import and properly separate MIDI files for the Yamaha Smart Pianist app, specifically for the CSP series digital pianos. The problem is that by default, the app combines all notes into one hand, making it difficult to practice separately for the left and right hands. Using Cubase software, the speaker shows how to assign the right and left hand to separate channels, which can then be imported into the app for improved learning. The tutorial offers a step-by-step guide to ensure the best experience with the Starlight feature and MIDI files on the Smart Pianist app.
Takeaways
- 😀 The Smart Pianist app for the Yamaha CSP series allows you to practice with Starlight features, showing lights for the notes as you play.
- 😀 A common issue when importing MIDI files into the Smart Pianist app is that all notes are placed on the right hand track, making it difficult to practice left and right hands separately.
- 😀 Cubase is recommended as the ideal software for separating the MIDI channels correctly, allowing you to split the right and left hand tracks.
- 😀 Many other DAW software like FL Studio and Reaper didn't work properly for separating the channels as Cubase does.
- 😀 Cubase Elements 13, a paid software, offers a 60-day free trial and works well with Yamaha’s Smart Pianist app to resolve this issue.
- 😀 The solution to the problem is to go into the MIDI settings in Cubase, adjust preferences to 'MIDI Track', and then re-import the file.
- 😀 After importing the MIDI file into Cubase, make sure to assign the right hand to Channel 1 and the left hand to Channel 2 to separate the tracks correctly.
- 😀 Once separated, you can export the project from Cubase and send the MIDI files to your smartphone via email for easy access.
- 😀 After downloading the MIDI files from your email, import them into the Smart Pianist app, which will now allow you to practice with both hands separately.
- 😀 By following these steps, users can avoid the frustration of improperly imported MIDI files and enjoy a more effective practice experience with Yamaha’s Smart Pianist app.
Q & A
What issue does the tutorial address regarding the Yamaha Smart Pianist app?
