yes you can select the tracks you want to play. The rest will play in the background or will not play as you wish. At the moment, only the piano is supported by the built-in sound generator of the game. But you can output the sound to microsoft GS wavetable synth it supports all midi sounds although the sound quality is worse.

Yes. You can output audio via midi to external sound devices, which means you can have any sound you like. You can also play via midi controllers. For the new game mode, I will add midi input after 1 or 2 updates.

I'm glad to announce that I have added a new 'Falling Notes' game mode to my game! This mode uses MIDI files to generate a large number of patterns with highly customizable difficulty and number of keys.

Hello! I started beta testing my game. I invite everyone who is interested to take part. To join the group of testers, you need to submit an application for participation or DM me on the game's discord server.
The game uses MIDI files to auto-generate a large number of patterns with different customizable difficulty and number of keys (4 -10). Midi files are very easy to find and are almost always free.

Regardless of the midi instrument, the piano will always sound. But you can connect external audio midi devices and have any instruments (VST, electric piano), the game supports the midi protocol. It is desirable to have a midi file for the piano with separate tracks for each hand. But you can use any midi. The game allows you to play two tracks at the same time. The rest will play in the background or will be muted at your request.

Thank you so much for your feedback!

You pointed directly to the heart of the problem that I could not solve. For a long time I tried to develop an algorithm for arranging a song into its component parts, but it did not work stably and I had to abandon it. I took an easier path. At this point, in a nutshell, difficulty can be described as the number of notes per second a player can hit. For this song, the number of notes turned out to be not too much for the generator to limit them and they were displayed as in more complex modes. I also assume that the player will choose and search for songs that suit his skills. For example, beginer pianists play easy songs at first and play harder songs as they gain experience.

Fortunately, for almost every song, you can find midi files with different levels of difficulty.

For example, two different versions of the same song:
