From Beginner to Performer

Zero to Hero

2D and 3D Play Modes

MusesIX supports both 2D and 3D experiences, giving players the freedom to choose the style that best matches their performance goals and mood.

2D Mode

2D mode is designed for live performing and clear note reading. It keeps the interface focused, clean, and highly readable so players can stay locked into rhythm, timing, and expression without visual distraction. This helps beginners learn faster and gives performers a sharper stage feel.

3D Mode

3D mode creates a more exciting and immersive arena experience. It adds depth, movement, and a stronger sense of presence, making every performance feel more cinematic and fun. This mode is perfect for players who want a more engaging, game-like adventure while still learning music.

Scoring to Learn

Every performance is scored so you can measure how well you played and review what improved.

Learn from Every Run

Scores are calculated for every performance, and your highest scores are saved so you can compare results over time. After each try, the performance can be replayed to help you check timing, accuracy, and rhythm details. This review flow is available in 2D mode for now.

  • Every performance is scored automatically.
  • High scores are saved for progress tracking.
  • Replay a performance to review and improve your technique.

Setting Cue Loops

Practice with the 80/20 rule (Pareto Principle) in piano learning: a small slice of a difficult score often creates most of your progress. In real practice, that means spending the majority of your time on just a few repeating moments that need the most attention.

How to Apply the 80/20 Rule

Instead of replaying an entire piece from the top, identify the toughest 10% of the passage and loop that section repeatedly. Build confidence with short, focused repetitions, then reconnect the loop to the larger phrase. This keeps practice efficient and helps you turn difficult moments into reliable muscle memory.

  • Up to 5 cue loops per song.
  • Choose the smallest difficult phrase that blocks your flow.
  • Set a cue loop around that section and repeat it slowly with precision.
  • Gradually expand the loop once the trouble spot becomes stable.

Multiple Instruments

Explore a richer range of timbres and performance options with instrument sound choices that can shift the mood of any practice session.

Practice with Variety

Switch between different instruments to hear your rhythm and phrasing in fresh ways. That makes practice more engaging, helps you train ear recognition, and adds excitement to every repetition.

  • Choose from multiple instrument voices.
  • Match your practice tone to the music you want to learn.
  • Create a more engaging and expressive practice session.

Practice Left/Right Hand

The app can help you practice left and right hand separately, making it easier to learn a song with clarity, confidence, and steady progress.

Learn Each Hand with Focus

Break a piece into manageable hand-specific practice blocks so beginners can focus on coordination without feeling overwhelmed. This approach makes it easier to understand timing, finger placement, and phrase flow while building confidence one hand at a time.

  • Practice left hand and right hand independently.
  • Slow down difficult passages and build accuracy gradually.
  • Combine both hands smoothly once each part feels stable.

Multiplayer Battle

MusesIX brings multiple players together on one device, so families, classmates, and friends can challenge each other, follow each other’s progress, and learn in a shared, motivating environment.

Group Practice That Encourages Growth

Up to twelve players can join the same session on a single iPad or laptop, making it easy for family members or classmates to compare scores, celebrate progress, and keep each other moving forward. The shared setup turns practice into a social rhythm experience that builds confidence, accountability, and teamwork.

Track Your Progress

Your experience and level are tracked so you can clearly see how your rhythm skills grow over time.

FAQ

Answers to common questions about MusesIX setup, playback, MIDI importing, and custom song creation.

Is there any in-app purchase?

No. MusesIX will be free to play forever, with no strings attached.

Can I play without a keyboard?

Yes, of course. On an iPad, you can play songs using the touch controls. However, the experience will be limited, so it is best to choose easier songs. This is a great option for kids learning the basics, but we highly recommend purchasing a simple MIDI keyboard to dramatically improve the playing experience.

On a PC or Mac, you can also play with the mouse cursor, but this is not recommended for the best experience or accurate rhythm control.

How do I connect a MIDI Keyboard to an iPad?

Just plug your MIDI keyboard into the iPad's Lightning port or USB-C port (depending on your iPad model) using the appropriate cable or adapter. The app should automatically detect the connected MIDI device.

I get no sounds on my iPad, after connecting my MIDI keyboard.

Audio output selection in iPad Control Center

Oftentimes, when the keyboard is connected, the iPad will think the piano is a speaker. Swipe down from the top-right corner of your screen to open the Control Center. Tap the AirPlay icon (a triangle with overlapping rings and sound waves) in the top-right corner of the media playback tile, then select your preferred speaker, headphones, or device from the list.

How do I load my own MIDI files?

MIDI download input field

Click the Play Now button. An input box will appear where you can enter the URL of a MIDI file. The app will download it, and the song will appear in the Downloaded Songs category. The download link must point directly to a .mid MIDI file, or the download will fail.

Can the app play any MIDI file?

Yes, but the MIDI files should be clean piano solos. If a file contains multiple instruments, the notes may clump together and become hard to read.

If I create my own song in a DAW, how do I load it into the program?

Exporting MIDI from DAW software

Export your piano roll to a MIDI file, upload it to a cloud drive such as Google Drive, create a download link, and paste that link into the MIDI input field in the app.

What if my iPad or computer has no internet connection, or I am performing in a public place without Wi-Fi and the categories are not loading?

Yes, the app requires an internet connection to fetch the latest songs from our server. To play songs offline, you must bookmark them first, and then they will be available without an internet connection.

Can I load my own custom instrument sounds?

That feature is coming soon. At the moment, custom instrument sounds cannot be loaded.

How do I create a song jam?

First, create cue sections by using the top five Roman numeral buttons to record a song section within a song. The notes are recorded as they are played. Then click the Song Jam button at the bottom of the main menu. Your saved cue sections will appear under “Saved Cue Sections.” Press the plus button on the song, and it will move to the top, similar to the save musical set button. Give it a unique musical set name, and the combined music set is ready to play by pressing the Play Now button on the set.

What is the scoring mechanism?

MusesIX uses a clear timing-based scoring system to reward accuracy and penalize mistakes. The game awards points according to how well the player hits each note:

Perfect: +4000 points

Great: +2000 points

Good: +1000 points

Miss: -1000 points

Penalty / Wrong Note Played: -3000 points

In short, the better the timing and note accuracy, the higher the reward. Misses and wrong hits reduce your score quickly, so precision is essential for high performance.

I am using Bluetooth speakers or headphones and the song is lagging.

Yes — Bluetooth audio introduces latency, which can make the sound feel delayed compared with the on-screen timing. For the most accurate performance, connect your PC, Mac, or iPad directly to a headphone or speaker using a 3.5 mm audio cable. This reduces delay and gives you a more responsive, in-time playing experience.

How do I record a video?

Our app does not have a built-in video recording feature. However, you can use your device’s screen recording function to capture your gameplay. On iOS, swipe down from the top-right corner to access Control Center and tap the screen recording button. On macOS, press Shift + Command + 5 to open the screenshot toolbar and select the screen recording option. If you want to capture your performance audio as well, make sure to enable audio recording.
