Touch Bar Piano is a piano built into the Touch Bar of new MacBook Pro models.
The new MacBook Pro models with Touch Bars, of course. Not the new MacBook Pro without the Touch Bar – thanks for the clarity, Apple product namers! 😉
Touch Bar Piano is fully polyphonic and has a choice of 128 different instruments.
This app requires a 2016 MacBook Pro with Touch Bar, but if you don’t have a Touch Bar-equipped Mac you can try it out using Touché and your mouse/trackpad.

no comment.
Or, you could actually get a real keyboard if your into making music. The dumbification of Apple continues to grow and astound. But hey, the candy crush teeny boppers are happy, so I guess Tim is OK after all. Gawd.
..don’t think even Lang Lang could play Rhapsody In Blue on this….th…er, whatever it is.
You might have had a point if this was an Apple product. But it isn’t, so you don’t.
Maybe amateur musicians will find something to like about this. Anyone with a concern for ergonomics will not like this.
Protect your hands from carpal tunnel syndrome kids.
Tell that to the the likes of Katsura

Or professional audiologists
Or even amateurs the likes of botvinnick, but then he is always out of tune!
actually I’ve been playing piano for almost sixty years, own a 1931 Wurlitzer Grand.
Think it can be quite useful to ad melody effects-ideas while mounting. File may be used for helping a synchro or something…
I don’t see why all my computer diagnostic (iStat), shortcuts (Keyboard Maestro), wifi connection, audio recording, transcribing apps, etc., won’t be coming to the Touch Bar.
Right now I have more than 50 Keyboard shortcuts tied to my Fn keys. And that is only on the top level.
