Play piano on Android, and layer it like an orchestra

Open it and play

Solo Piano opens straight to the keyboard, with no song to load first. It uses the same keyboard, sounds and effects as the Visualizer, and accepts touch and MIDI input.

• Play on the touchscreen, or on a USB or Bluetooth MIDI keyboard that Android recognizes.
• A toolbar with MIDI, Sustain and Reverb controls.
• Part of the free plan.

Layer instruments like an orchestra

Papiano supports SoundFont layers. Keep the piano as your Main sound, add a Layer such as Violin on top, and play piano and strings together, like an orchestra of one.

• Switch between the Main and Layer instruments in the SoundFont settings.
• Turn the String layer on or off.
• Transpose the layer and set its range, so each instrument sits where you want it.

Use your own SoundFonts

Papiano plays SF2 SoundFonts through its own audio engine, and supports custom SoundFonts. Load your own to change how the piano, strings or any other instrument sounds.
