DSW Piano converts the personal computer into an authentic musicbox. All you need besides the computer is a regular keyboard (writing keyboard) with which you will be able to play up to 128 MIDI instruments.
You don’t even need a sound card since the software can use the internal speaker of the computer, even though the sound quality will be poor using it like this. It’s always preferable that you have a sound card, but that’s the standard nowadays anyway.
In order to play as naturally as possible you can configure the keyboard as you like, assigning to each key the note you want. Keep in mind that it could be a little harsh to play piano with a computer keyboard, so don’t feel bad if you find it so.
Another cool feature of DSW Piano is the recording and playing back. Yes, you can create a file and record your training sessions or compositions and right after you can play them back to hear your improvements. That is a good characteristic to seize the inspirations moments.
Last but not least, it’s remarkable the possibility that DSW Piano offers to connect via LAN (local area network) or Internet several pianos all together. That way, you can conform an orchestra and have a lot of fun with family and friends. Of course, to do that you will need a computer for each player.
So, what do you need to use DSW Piano? The one thing you need is to be a user of one of the following operating systems: Win98/98SE/2000/XP.
