Common FAQs
Is V2 ever coming back?
Short answer is no, unfortunately.
Why is V2 not ever coming back?
Short answer is that I'm done with it and I'm ready to move on.
What v3 is today, is something v2 will most likely have turned into, if I had continued working on it.

My midi inputs are not showing up. How come?
There can be a few reasons as to why your midi device inputs are not showing up.
- Your device is already being used by another process/application. Closing it typically resolves the issue.
- Your devices may not be properly plugged in. Double check the connection.
- You may be using a browser that may not support WebMIDI (if you're using the browser). Try switching to Chrome or Opera.
- And finally, it may be a legit bug in PianoRhythm and I'm most likely trying to resolve it.
Why is the latency so bad in the browser version?
It's more of an implementation issue with PianoRhythm. I'm still trying to figure out
how to refactor the systems to reduce the perceived latency.
That's why I developed the desktop version which has more direct access to midi inputs.

Why is the audio quality so bad in the browser version?
I don't think it's that bad but it is indeed not the highest fidelity.
In short, WebAudio just has certain limitations with synthesized audio. I'm also not a master expert in utilizing
the full potential of it, so that's another factor. If you're well versed in the topic and would like to help, please contact me!
Otherwise, the desktop app uses your machine's native audio driver, so the quality is relatively better there.
