Piano Practice Modes & Metronome Features
Every mode is designed to build a specific dimension of musicianship. No filler. No fluff.
KeyForge Piano
Where Piano Fluency Is Forged.
Fifteen structured practice modes across six categories. macOS and iOS. MIDI support. Cloud sync.
Sight Reading
Configurable note generation across treble and bass clefs, all key signatures, and progressive difficulty levels. Real-time pitch detection via microphone or MIDI input with immediate visual feedback on accuracy.
Configure note range, rhythmic complexity, accidental frequency, and session duration. The engine generates musically coherent note sequences — not random scatter.
Scales & Modes
All major, natural minor, harmonic minor, and melodic minor scales. Dorian, Phrygian, Lydian, Mixolydian, Aeolian, and Locrian modes. Configurable octave range, tempo, and direction patterns.
Real-time accuracy tracking with visual keyboard overlay showing target notes, played notes, and errors. Session history tracks improvement across keys and scale types over time.
Chords & Inversions
Major, minor, diminished, augmented, dominant 7th, major 7th, minor 7th, and extended chord types. All inversions. Configurable voicing constraints.
Practice chord identification, chord playing accuracy, and voice-leading transitions. The system tracks which chord types and inversions need the most attention and surfaces them more frequently.
Arpeggios
Arpeggio practice across all chord types with configurable patterns — ascending, descending, broken, and combined. Variable octave spans and tempo targets.
Designed to build the finger independence and harmonic awareness that underpin fluent improvisation and accompaniment.
Ear Training
Interval recognition from unison through compound intervals. Relative pitch training and chord quality identification. Ascending, descending, and harmonic presentation modes.
Progressive difficulty that adapts to demonstrated skill. Systematic aural development — the foundation that makes every other skill more intuitive.
Rhythm Training
Precision rhythm exercises with configurable time signatures, subdivisions, and accent patterns. Tap-based input with millisecond-precision timing analysis.
Visual feedback shows timing deviation from the beat grid. Track rhythmic precision improvement over sessions with detailed accuracy metrics.
Structured Progression
A skill tree visualization that maps your progress across all practice dimensions. See which areas are strong, which need attention, and how your overall musicianship is developing.
Not a gamification layer. A diagnostic tool. It shows you where you are so you can decide where to go next.
Also Included
MIDI & Microphone
Connect any MIDI keyboard for the most accurate, lowest-latency experience. Microphone input is also supported for pitch detection, though some modes — such as chord and interval recognition — require MIDI for full functionality.
Free Cloud Sync
Optional cloud sync keeps your progress, settings, and session history across all your devices — at no additional cost. Your data stays yours. Always.
Multiple Profiles
Support for multiple user profiles on a single device. Useful for families, studios, and teaching environments.
Cross-Platform
Native apps for macOS and iOS. Designed for iPad's larger screen real estate and optimized for iPhone portability.
Session Analytics
Detailed practice session tracking with accuracy trends, time-on-task metrics, and skill-level progression over time.
Educator Mode
Assign practice tasks to students, monitor progress, and manage structured curricula. Built for teachers who take pedagogy seriously.
KeyForge Metronome
Where Rhythmic Precision Is Forged.
A professional-grade metronome with polyrhythm support, four visualization modes, setlist management, and tempo presets.
Four Polyrhythm Visualizers
Each visualizer offers a distinct way to see and internalize complex rhythmic relationships. Choose the representation that matches how you think about rhythm.
Circular
Timeline
Orbital
Grid
Precision Tempo
BPM control with tap tempo, fine-grained adjustment, and subdivision configuration. Standard and compound time signatures.
Polyrhythm Engine
Layer multiple rhythmic patterns simultaneously. Configure ratios, accents, and timbres for each voice independently.
Setlists & Presets
Save tempo configurations as presets. Organize presets into setlists for rehearsals and performances. Quick recall when you need it.
Practice Progress
Track your tempo targets over time. See which tempos and time signatures you've been working on and where you're headed.
Light & Dark Modes
Full light and dark mode support. Each designed for readability in different environments — stage, studio, or practice room.
iOS Native
Built natively for iPhone. Designed for one-handed operation with large, accessible controls and responsive haptic feedback.
