Installed and registered without problems on a Win 8.1.3 Pro 64 bit system. So many changes in the registry???

Something different. Not the video converters or lost file recovery programs. The software is some years old, it was programmed around 2008. A few files are of newer date. In the interface nothing changed since a lot of years...

A company from Paraguay with an address and a name: Gabriel Fernandez, a programmer and a musician.
We had had a software before from this programmer: Easy Audio Mixer 2.0 on November 26, 2014. The forum had shut down:

After start a crowded and complex interface opens. Something for the keyboard piano freak, not for the novice.

The claim: " Easily create song with multiple instruments (guitar, bass, drums, etc), even if you don’t know music theory. " is a little bit optimistic. Even for the simple setup you need more than a basic knowledge.

A first impression : a more than complete music studio...

If you ever had played a little tune - you will like it.

I'll keep it - the so called free keyboard piano's programs are a joke. This is a serious one. Be sure to have a look into the tutorial videos.

Greeting to Paraguay.

Hi,

Regarding the changes in the Registry, the ones made by KB Piano are:

HK_CurrentUser\Software\VB and VBA Program Settings\KB Piano // (Program settings)
HK_ClassesRoot\kbpiano2.KBP // (KB Piano files association)
HK_LocalMachine\Software\KB Piano // (Stores installation path and version number for updates)

I don't know what the others are... Maybe a firewall, o some OS settings.

Thanks for the comments !

A little history, the software started real simple... Then users got more creative and started to ask for more advanced functions. That's how audio channels, vst instruments and such were added.

Now what you get is an application that is between a basic piano and an advanced production software. Cheers !

I have very little knowledge on the technical aspects of music creation or playing any musical instruments . But I love to play with all this virtual instruments and once I tried to learn to play virtual piano from a friend and at that time I came to know about some of the programs all of them were quiet attractive and efficient. They are 'Everyone Piano' ( http://www.everyonepiano.com ) ,
'FreePiano' ( http://freepiano.tiwb.com/en/ )
'DSW Piano' and
'A73 Piano Station' ( http://www.micronissimo.com/ ) , these all are freeware , but I am also well familiar with today's Gotd 'KB PIANO' by Gabriel Fernandez. Its really a kind of program you can consider If you want to emulate Piano on Your Computer. Enriched with various instrument sounds and equipped with detailed help file and tutorials.

There are also some online tutorial available for playing piano

But there is free ZynAddSubFX for Windows, Linux and Mac which comes completely with a dozen of sound banks with up to 128 instruments each (!!!), e.g. Arpeggio, Strings, Organs (church organs, too) etc. To choose a bank please hit the broad empty button below "No Effect".
There are a lot of parameters (e.g. up to 16 sound combinations) and effects like echo. It comes with a six octaves virtual keyboard (VK) for mouse use. To get VK hit VK button between "Panic" and "No Effect". Or you use your computer keyboard (zxcvbnm,.- etc). Perhaps you have to hit VK once to get sounds there. There are a lot of options like European keyboard layouts with y and z interchanged. MIDI standard etc.

With Linux you can run latest versions as standalone,
same for an older Windows version (ZynAddSubFX-2.2.0Setup.exe from 2005) which still is very good.
Latest available Windows version runs as VST plugin with many pro softwares.
I'm using since about one year very often Linux version and sometimes ZynAddSubFX Windows VST build (ZynAddSubFX-VDX_VST-2.4.1.496beta) with free VST host Minihost (some nagging seconds before starting). It has an additional keyboard with 1 octave less than VK.

Features:

http://zynaddsubfx.sourceforge.net/
Linux:

Windows download:
http://www.kvraudio.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=268277 latest (as above)
etc. etc.
Minihost (Needs Image Line account now. The registration process is completely free and only requires a working email address. I got it without one a year ago.)

For a lot of free additonal sound banks please search for xiz, and for additonal free parameters (i.e. sound combinations ready to use) for xmz.
And don't forget free LMMS for Windows (formerly Linux MultiMedia Studio) for more professionel use.
