“The études, some fast and virtuosic, others spare and introspective, unfolded to beautiful and haunting effect in a haze of pitch-bending, echoes, distorted rhythms and eerie timbres.” —The New York Times, about the Nostalgic Synchronic Etudes, made with bitKlavier bitKlavier is the software that drives the "prepared digital piano;" it has been used by a number of composers for creating new music, and has been featured in performances around the world. Like the prepared piano, the "prepared digital piano" feels just like a piano under the hands and often sounds like one, but it is full of surprises; instead of bolts and screws stuck between the piano strings, virtual machines of various sorts adorn the virtual strings of the digital piano, transforming it into an instrument that pushes back, sometimes like a metronome, other times like a recording played backwards. The virtual strings also tighten and loosen on the fly, dynamically tuning in response to what is played. To begin, experiment with the included galleries, many of which are from existing pieces (the Nostalgic Synchronic Etudes by Dan Trueman, and the Mikroetudes, a collection of small pieces by various composers), others are examples for exploring the various types of digital preparations. Work with the on-screen keyboards, or hook up a USB-MIDI keyboard using a Lighting-USB adaptor and play with a full-sized keyboard. There are a range of "preparations," including: 1. Synchronic: "metronomes" of various sorts that respond to your playing. 2. Nostalgic: reverse piano, synced to the synchronic preparations or driven by the length of the notes that you play. 3. Tuning: various tuning systems, including some that change under your hands as you play. 4. Direct: modify the direct sound of the piano itself in various ways. 5. Blendrónic: beat programmed delays that process other preparations. These preparations can change under your hands in various ways, using Modifications attached to Preparations and triggered by Keymaps, or by using Pianos, which change the entire instrument instantaneously.
