Message: [QUOTE="Shamiso, post: 92595, member: 160"] Prism Keys can auto-separate a song dropped into the full app, so you do not have to run AudioPrism first to start a lesson. The browser demo also lets you connect a MIDI keyboard or use computer keys, which makes the learning side usable before the scored game enters the picture. You may see the older KeyPrism name in launch listings. The current AudioPrism site calls the piano side Prism Keys, but the useful distinction is not the label. It is the way you can start either from a fresh song or from material AudioPrism already created. [HEADING=2]Prism Keys can start from a fresh song[/HEADING] The shortest route is to drag a song into Prism Keys and let it prepare the material itself. Its current product listing says the piano trainer auto-separates songs on drop, so opening AudioPrism first is not a required step. You do not need to manually export a piano stem just to see whether a track is worth practicing. Once the song is staged, Prism Keys transcribes it into notes for the learner. The interface then gives you falling notes, note names, finger numbers, playback speed, looping, and hands-separate practice without asking you to build a MIDI file somewhere else first. For someone arriving with a song rather than a prepared project, that is the cleaner path. The [B][URL='https://goldmidi.com/community/threads/audioprism-2-0-hits-kvr-marketplace-for-windows.77963/']AudioPrism Windows song-separation package[/URL][/B] still matters when you want more control over the source material. Running separation there first gives you access to the individual stems, which can be useful when the full mix is crowded, and the piano part is competing with vocals, guitars, drums, or bright synth layers. Using an isolated piano stem does not guarantee a perfect transcription. Separation can leave bleed or remove useful detail, so the cleaner-looking source may still need a reality check. The practical advantage is simply that Prism Keys can start from either route instead of forcing every song through one rigid sequence. [HEADING=2]Prism Vault reuses work already on your machine[/HEADING] Prism Vault is the less obvious part of the workflow. Link it to the AudioPrism folder once, and the current interface can read both imported full songs and separated stems from that local library. Files already processed in AudioPrism can therefore become lesson sources without another round of copying and browsing. The demo labels isolated stems as the cleaner option and full songs as imports. Pick a file, stage it, and Prism Keys can run the transcription from there. Exported MIDI has a predictable destination too, with the interface saving .mid files into the AudioPrism separated folder. Nothing about the Vault requires uploading your library for normal use. The current interface describes the linked material as staying on the machine, which fits AudioPrism's broader local-processing setup. Keeping the stem and its generated MIDI in the same working area also makes it easier to tell which transcription came from which source after several attempts. The naming is worth keeping straight. Prism Vault is not a cloud locker or a catalog of licensed songs. It is a local bridge into files AudioPrism already knows about, so the value is mostly organizational. Boring, but useful once the folder starts filling up. [HEADING=2]Your keyboard range shapes the lesson itself[/HEADING] Prism Keys does not simply assume an 88-key piano. Its setup lets you choose your key count and then press the lowest key on the physical keyboard so the software knows the range actually available. The song can then be fitted to that keyboard while preserving octave placement. A 25-key controller and an 88-key piano impose very different limits on the same transcription. Mapping the bottom note prevents the lesson from pretending your hardware reaches notes that do not exist under your hands. It also makes the setup more concrete than choosing a generic small, medium, or large keyboard preset. You can still use computer keys when no MIDI controller is attached, which is handy for checking a song before committing to a practice setup. A physical keyboard becomes more useful once the app needs to respond to actual notes and velocities rather than simple computer-key presses. The general idea of pairing digital exercises with a real keyboard is already established outside this app. [B][URL='https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC9617041/']App-supported music learning with MIDI keyboards[/URL][/B] has been used in formal music-education work where students practiced interactive note, scale, and chord tasks on connected keyboards alongside regular instruction. Prism Keys applies the interaction more narrowly to songs you bring in yourself. The important workflow is not a giant built-in lesson catalog. It is taking material already on your computer, or a newly dropped song, turning it into a playable transcription, fitting it to the keyboard in front of you, and keeping the resulting files local enough to reuse later.
