Piano World Home Page Forums Our Most Popular Forums Adult Beginners Forum Is it possible to use Piano Maestro on Android?

My instructor uses Piano Maestro for teaching with some of his students and at my point I would like to take all the help I can get. However it seems to be entirely linked to Apple and designed solely for iPad and Mac. I really don't want to spend the $$$ to buy an iPad solely for this purpose and I was wondering if there are any apps or emulators that will allow me to use this software on an Android device. Does anybody know anything about this?

Unlikely. The reason you don't get a lot of stuff like this for Android is that there's a problem with high audio latency in many android devices, which makes it too difficult for a developer to support right now. There are signs of if getting better, but it's going to be a long while yet.

Bummer! I'm guessing then that it would be equally hopeless with a Windows 10 machine. I've heard that there are still a lot of problems with that OS. Thanks for the info.

I'm using Windows 10 to run Pianoteq, which is CPU- and audio-intensive. Once you get things worked out, latency isn't a problem.

But from what I read on the Piano Maestro website ( https://www.joytunes.com ), it _does_ need an iPad to run on. So you're right (but for the wrong reason):

. . . It would be hopeless with a Windows 10 machine.
