With Synthesia 0.7.0 out, I took some time to add some new site features. Enjoy!
- Google Checkout and Amazon Payments now supported on the Learning Pack purchase page.
- A new page to retrieve your Learning Pack key.
- Twitter alternatives to the RSS feeds: @SynthesiaNews and @SynthesiaDev.

Synthesia 0.7.0 Released!
I am proud to present the 0.7.0 release of Synthesia. This is the biggest update the game has ever received. So, check out the feature list, download the new version from the box on the left, and enjoy!
What's new in 0.7.0 (Learning Pack feature = ):
- New Song Library with audio previews and sorting by difficulty and rating.
- More than 20 new songs and over 100 songs updated to split the left/right hand parts.
(Thanks Choul, Rickeeey, and TieDyeGuy from the forums!)
- Scoring for practice mode -- now you can follow your progress.
- Sheet music display improvements including rests and a fixed-width option.
- An option to require all notes in a chord be pressed at the same time in practice mode.
- Keyboard setup screen to help diagnose connection problems.
- Lots of menus re-worked to make navigation easier and more intuitive.
- New "View in Synthesia" right-click shortcut: a quick MIDI viewer.
- Tons of other improvements, fixes, and optimizations!
How cool is this? Sean over at HDPiano.com has begun making video lessons using a combination of Synthesia and live video to show note fingerings. It's very cool and especially helpful. The lessons are free, new videos are posted weekly, and Sean even takes requests.
You should go there now.
