Muzie Help Guides

Midi Instruments & Midi Pass-thru

Learn how to navigate the Muzie piano interface to adjust instrument sounds, key displays, and MIDI mapping settings. While the midi tool is most often used in a lesson, there is also an option to use it outside for practice purpose.

The most important update to our midi is a new system that allows you and a student to both connect a midi device and they can then sync, so as you play it comes out of your students midi device in real time (works best with piano and drums)
