I’m thinking about the first time I sat down at a piano. Totally clueless. I mean, where do you even start, right? Anyway, there’s this cool developer, Plai Technologies, with something kind of wild called PianoCafe. Feels like they took a music class and mashed it up with a cooking show. It’s coming to Quest 2 on July 30th—almost forgot to mention that.
Okay, picture this: you’re not just banging on keys, hoping for the best. Nah, you’re actually a short-order chef. Yep, a chef. Your piano turns into your kitchen, each key becomes an ingredient. Weird, huh? But in a good way. Forget about those other music games like PianoVision—this is different.
So, here’s the scoop: you play chords, and suddenly you’re not just hearing notes, you’re cooking. Like play a C major chord—bam, there’s your bread. Hit an F major, and suddenly cheese is on the menu. Throw in an A minor, and now you’ve got some meat. And somehow G major equals lettuce. You could say it’s like creating a sandwich with sound waves.
Now, don’t get it twisted. PianoCafe isn’t claiming to turn you into Beethoven overnight. It’s more like a fun way for beginners, or let’s say, “curious minds,” to get those fingers moving. Kind of like muscle memory training without the boring drills.
Oh, and you do need a MIDI-compatible piano for now. Something about the app using MIDI detection to figure out which keys you’re pressing. But they’re working on this future update where the Quest’s cameras will do the key-spotting magic. Imagine playing on an old-school piano, no MIDI fuss.
So yeah, if you’re interested, you might want to hit up the Horizon Store and wishlist this wild thing before July 30th sneaks up. I’m kind of intrigued myself, honestly.
