Piano tips for KB?

[Judge Lazar]

I went through and set my keys up in a way that they're more or less two 3x3 squares with the notes positioned in the same positions on the note wheel but I just can't even get through 1/4 of the first song. Am I missing something simple? Are the note orders random or is it just a case of memorizing the notes through repetition? Very frustrating minigame.

It's impossible, I just cheated cause I don't have a controller around, my friend says its like 50x easier on controller by the way

That's what I was assuming. I'm gonna try and transcribe the notes of this first song into a list of keystrokes in order. Maybe it will be easier to remember a list of keystrokes "Q S I J L" rather than trying to keep track of what note goes to what key on the fly.

I gave up. Going to ignore that minigame entirely.

Controler way is very doable, the patterns of songs are always the same, so it’s not random. So far I only unlocked 4 songs and managed to get S rank on all of them except the Tifa one, since the end of it is brutal for some reason for me.

You can check my controls here if you want: https://youtu.be/M_5R3YXyBMA
Ive got first 3 songs to S so far.

I would say on average it took me to rank A about 15-30min, but to S around 2h each song. Only right hand is enough for rank A on first 2 songs, idk about 3rd one.
What i do is to learn right hand first and only after that i start adding left hand.

Idk if there are any other tips. Some people said to speed it up to max to make hitting notes easier, but i prefer it at slowest speed. I want the song to actually sound nice too, not just hit all the notes

Well I don't know about impossible I mean you know people do play piano on a keyboard in real life.

You can use a better Layout for the keyboard and the key notes, this can help you alot. but try and error will it be for sure.

I would imagine that if you can 10-key rapidly with both hands, it might be doable. But good luck on that.

Borderline impossible with keyboard, they really should have reworked the game to fit the PC better, just lazy porting.

Get a controller.

I use a controller, so sifficult to help.
Did you try to use the right side with the num pad? The layout might help there. You can take out all non essential keys from your KB.
For left side do the same?

I just made it up to song 6 :)

It's completely impossible and anyone who playes real piano is totally nerfed, i been playing 20 years + and the note setup is about as dumb as can be, in a circle really? On the keyboard the notes should have been set up all in 1 row for the white keys and 1 row above for the sharps and flats.
I have no idea where the keys are in this mini game without looking at the keyboard , additionally sometimes the note you have to push is lower while the note itself is higher (pitch) , this makes it the opposite of intuative seriously this has got to be the most imbecile set up ever and all the devs who designed the keyboard interface for this mini game should be fired.

Why don't you just buy a controller? You'll need one for a lot of Japanese games. If you get a DS5 the haptic feedback is nice for this game.

I did all the piano association songs on KB+M, remapping the RH notes to the numpad helped. For the LH, I just remapped the keys I needed for an A performance. For all the songs, other than Two Legs, you only need 3 or fewer keys on the LH.

Two legs sucks, I just had to treat that like a real piano song, I.e. memorize the RH, then memorize the LH and put them together.
