Goooooooal !! - our goal with PianoCheater

Our goal is simply to become a REAL piano player and thus save the world !!
   (Have you listened to the radio?  The world really needs HELP!)
   And you KNOW you want a cool synth keyboard that'll hook to your computer :)

   But let's back up...

As a piano player, you need some SKILLZZ:
   - find the notes to hit
   - find the best hand positioning and fingers to hit em with
   - figure out the rhythms those notes need to be hit within in time
   - figure out volume nuances within those rhythms (a particular "feel")
   - play with the expected tempo and rhythm a little
   - keep track of a ton of songs

   Hey, don't freak out on me now...  You CAN do it.  PianoCheater can help you.
   Once you get your first song down, you WILL be hooked.
   You just gotta find a song you absolutely LOVE (that ain't too hard).

   PianoCheater can help you out with each of those skillZZ:

   - notes are displayed as PIANO KEYS instead of dots with flags on lines.
     (although, you CAN still use sheet music if that's all ya got.)
   - you can note the fingering on those notes
     (usually in just the tricky spots and where you change hand position)
   - PianoCheater can "sound out" the trickier rhythms for you
     (feed it the note durations and it'll work out something for you to copy.)
   - playing the song against a GOOD drum track
     (instead of an annoying metronome click) is much easier on the ears.
   - the "expression"?  Well, a computer can't help ya there.  Sorry.
   - keeping track of all the songs you know?  CHECK !!

Ok, let's get GOING !!
   We'll do a quick sloppy job of configuring midi and start a song.
