The app is very buggy. I have been testing this app on my Motorola Moto X Play, and have noticed the following bugs: - Mega latency when using the internal piano sounds - Problems with polyphony when playing three or more notes at a time - Won't recognize my iRig Keys, even though it's hooked up to my phone via Micro USB and OTG cable - With the Sound Module addon, when I select an instrument sound, several notes play at once when I hit one single note on my midi keyboard, making the app unplayable. Please fix these bugs, and I will consider updating the rating accordingly. As a blind Android user using the built-in TalkBack screenreader, I must give you a thumbs up for making the app TalkBack friendly. Buttons are labelled so that TalkBack can recognize them, and I am able to easily navigate the app without any issues. Great job on making the app accessible to all! However, I can still only give the app a one star rating due to all the performance issues I'm experiencing. PLEASE FIX!!!!!!!!!!

Well, I love the zero latency (with my M-audio keyboard) and good sound, but it is very buggy. I will update this if future updates improve the app. Developer, I love your choice of sounds, too.

My USB keyboard plays when it's connected with my Samsung Galaxy tab e. I hope it will be able to play the sounds of a true piano in the future.

About this app

Micro Key Player: As I have limited space in my house, I have bought a Korg Microkey 61 and practice playing piano with an android device. But all the piano apps available in Google Play are not optimized for everyday usb keyboard use. There is always the ask permission and connection problem. And the latency is too much for decent play. After using an existing app for a few weeks, I give up and decide to make my own. I have created a convenient app where I can turn on and practice instantly with 3 sampled piano sound from Korg, Yamaha and Roland and optional 128 instruments sound module and user download soundfont. I am sharing it for free and hope you have many hours having fun.

Features:
- play music with your android device and external keyboard with no latency lag. App is designed to be real time to key pressed. I am surprised existing apps could not match what i created.
- 3 piano sound sampled from my favorite Korg, Roland and Yamaha piano.
- designed for quick turn-on-and-use. Remember your usb connection and device permission.
- auto close after inactive for 3 min
- respond to sustain pedal input
- cost: free

System requirements:
- android 3.1 and up phone or tablet
- OTG cable. About $1 at Amazon
- usb midi keyboard or digital piano

For support, please post at Celestial Piano forum at http://celestialpiano.blogspot.sg/p/forum.html My other app includes volca midi player (good for beginner without music theory to play piano) and microvolcakeys (for sending midi note to synthesiser).

ps. Just added sound module 128 instruments to the app as a free add on. It is from a soundfont file.

How the add-on sound module work?
1. Tap sound module on upper right corner in the keyboard app
2. It will open sound module if already install, otherwise it directs you to sound module goggle play page
3. Select the instrument you like, a sample sound is play
4. Tap back button and start playing on your keyboard :)

Notice:
It is found that certain device auto activates the phone headset. If it happens to you, please post on the forum. Please attached a headset or external/BT speaker to listen to the sound. Known to happen to iRig Keys etc.

New features

- There will be a series of updates coming.
- I have test this version to work with phone speaker, ear pieces and external bluetooth speaker. It can connect to external bluetooth but the response will be slower than cable connection.
- The sound module has preloaded soundfont for asian instruments.
Previous version:
For this version, I have added key release effect. With the sustain button off, the app will take into account of when you release the key on your usb midi keyboard.
