News/release from qw3rky (http://forum.gbadev.org/viewtopic.php?t=15195)
I made a simple music playing application called "Toy Piano DS" (yeah, I wasn't feeling too creative with the names today). You play a rainbow-colored mini piano keyboard on the bottom screen and all the notes that you play show up on the top screen on a musical staff. I made it to help myself become more comfortable with formal music notation (I've been relying on guitar tabs until now). The "piano" sound is nothing fancy. It just comes from the procedural sound generators (PSG) on the DS, which makes for an odd combination of 8-bit retro fuzz and Fisher-Price aesthetics.
Controls:
Stylus - play keyboard
Up - raise pitch by one octave
Down - lower pitch by one octave
