Peak Notes

Every note,
counted.

A quiet studio for the browser — built for pianists who practice with intention and leave with a take worth keeping.

Watch

Peak Notes in action

A quick look at counting notes, capturing a take, and exporting from the studio — the same flow you’ll use at the bench.

The craft

Practice becomes visible
the moment you play.

Scales blur together. Etudes disappear into the evening. Peak Notes turns motion into measure — a live counter, a honest clock, and a record of what your hands actually did. Optimized for USB MIDI pianos and the quiet discipline of daily work.

For the instrument

Tuned for real pianos,
not toy controllers.

Plug in a digital piano — Yamaha and friends welcome — and Peak Notes listens over Web MIDI. Sustain pedal holds the room. Velocity keeps the touch. Your computer keyboard waits politely until you invite it in.

  • USB MIDI with automatic device preference
  • Damper pedal (CC64) with true held resonance
  • Pause that preserves silence in the timeline
  • Focus view for screen recordings and long takes

Features

Count every note,
prepare MIDI for export.

01

Live counting

Watch notes accumulate in a typeface sized for the room. Track notes per second, peak intensity, and elapsed time while you play — then open Focus for a counter that fills the screen.

02

Standard MIDI

Export SMF Format 1 at 480 PPQN — the kind of file Synthesia, DAWs, and notation tools expect. Leading silence trimmed. Held notes closed cleanly. Your take, portable.

03

Silent counter film

Render a 1080p, 60 fps counter video that advances on every note-on. Pauses stay frozen. Style the type. Download an MP4 for YouTube videos or reels.

04

History on device

Save sessions locally with optional names and notes. Revisit peak NPS, duration, and voice. Clear anytime. Nothing leaves your browser unless you export it.
