MIDI support has been added!!! Visit our Facebook page at www.facebook.com/SmileyApps to see a demo. Now you can use Piano Tutor for iPad with a real keyboard! All you need is to have a keyboard that supports MIDI output, a MIDI to USB cable, and the iPad camera connection kit. (The camera connection kit only works on the iPad, not iPhones or iPod Touches)
Just plug in the keyboard into the iPad through the camera kit connection USB adapter, and Piano Tutor for iPad will detect the keyboard. You can then use the onscreen keyboard or the real keyboard to play the game.
The app has been tested with the iRig MIDI interface, thank you IKMultimedia for sending us test devices!
Also fixed a minor bug where the Game report has a typo in some cases.

The link to set options to set difficulty levels (All keys, Treble keys only, Bass keys only, option to set sharps and flats) has been improved to make it easier to find. As suggested by a customer, the previous information icon seemed like it only links to company information, but the icon actually provides game settings options.
We truly appreciate your feedback and we love to hear suggestions on how you think we should improve in future updates.
