To play the piano, simply touch the back and white keys.
The keys will continue to sound even when you release the keys (this is called sustain) in addition will you hear a rich reverb sound like playing in a piano hall.
You can touch any number of keys at once - the iPhone will recognize up to 5 touches.

Sound Check - The Pocket Soundcheck Tooolkit

 Get SoundCheck

The ultimate SoundCheck Toolkit for your iPhone / iPod Touch and your ears.

How to use it ?

This is a professional toolkit but it's easy to use:

-Start it up
-Select the level
-Select any signal you like
-Click to start the signal (it will play until you stop it)
-The last used signal will be automatically selected when you restart the toolkit

I can't hear the sounds ?

In order to use SoundCheck with your iPhone switch on the ringer tone (with the iPhone hardware switch).
Change the volume with the hardware switch while SoundCheck is running.

Note change the level before you start any signal.

iPod touch (first generation) has no inbuilt speaker, use your headphones. In order to use SoundCheck activate your system sounds via 'General-Sound Effects' set it to both and turn up the volume (Settings - Music - Volume Limit).

The very high frequencies can not be heard by most people - some elderly people may be able to hear 5kHz max - so do not increase the volume too much in case you can not hear the very high frequencies.
Use the 1000 Hz signal to set up the volume and then don't change it when you use other signals.
 

How to change the volume - why does the volume not change at once ?

Most SoundCheck signals are about 5 seconds long. This signals will be generated by SoundCheck in a loop - so you can use the signal as long as you like. Any volume changes during the length of a signal will be ignored - the next loop will use the new volume settings.

If you find the volume is to low or to high, stop the signal, change the volume and restart the signal again.

The very high frequencies can not be heard by most people - some elderly people may be able to hear 5kHz max - so do not increase the volume to much in case you can not hear the very high frequencies.
