The GrandPiano sample is AMAZING!

You can play the piano with keyboard key Z to M, and it gives sound and even the reflection changes.

WONDERFULL!

Why isn't this online at "WPF/E" (codename) CTP (February 2007) SDK Samples on the http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/asp.net/bb187358.aspx page?

We do have this sample live on Channel 9 right here: http://channel9.msdn.com/playground/wpfe/grandpiano/

We'll be updating the the "WPF/E" playground page very soon to show the sample.

Cool, I've gotten WPF/e "chopsticks" down, now I just need a few more octaves for some Chopin.

Interesting trill on the keyboard repeat. Smiley

Now to hack this app, switch to an organ voice, and expand the keyboard support to give a second manual (organ style, so I can move on to Bach's organ works).

That's not a trill. That's just your keyboard's repeat frequency.

No kidding, it's pretty obvious. The obvious question that follows is "can the app watch both key-downs and key-ups to avoid this behavior?"

that's really cool... but it would have been sent all over the net if they had have made 4 keys (at least) pressable at once - and done 2 octaves

(like the GE imagination "Markers" thingy)

Curios as to why on the major keys I only get a sound for 'A' and not the rest of the sounds? For the flats/sharps I get all the sounds from C# to A Flat
