What is Claviatura?

Claviatura is a vertical layout music sequencer, specific for use with keyboard music. It has a scroll-along with MIDI keyboard input feature to facilitate training pieces. For an additional fee it also supports different tunings.

Claviatura is available in the Mac AppStore

3rd Party Instruments

In the past Claviatura has supported 3rd party instrument file formats such as EXS, sf2, and a couple versions of the Hauptwerk format.

Development to support these instruments will not continue as it is not feasible to keep up with implementation details and every feature of these formats and provide their functionality.

Instead, Claviatura, starting version 1.14, will enable the forwarding of MIDI events to other 3rd party applications. Regarding tuning Claviatura will forward MIDI key-change events instead of pitch change events for the exact tuning. The later would require a 12-channel split instead of mapping each channel as they are laid out in the app. Tuning is therefore left to the 3rd party application.

Make sure to turn down the volume of the DLS synthesizer in this case.

Claviphonos will be compatible.
