You can Play music with a gamepad as described on the homepage, but you can also play the keys with the numbers by pressing letters on your computer keyboard from S to L, which are next to each other on azerty and qwerty:
S = 1
D = 2
F = 3
G = 4
H = 5
J = 6
K = 7
L = 8
Bottom octave selection
The left joystick on a gamepad or the arrow keys will change the octave:

Left: set 1 octave down
Down: set 2 octaves down
Right: set 1 octave up
Up: set 2 octaves up

piano keys being pressed
Touch and mousepress on the visual keyboard also work.
A green overlay on the piano keys will show the note being played.
When a button is released, the note stops playing and the green overlay will fade.
It depends on the instrument, some don't sustain. With some approximation there is feedback that the green fades before letting letting the button go.

This button will do the same thing as pressing the start button on a gamepad or escape on a keyboard.
When recording, the recording will end and the recording file is created.

Multiple players

With each connected gamepad, a new player will appear.
On an HD screen 7 players should fit with zoom level 1. The space will be devided by the number of players.
If there is not enough space on your current configuration, you maybe can fix this by adjusting the scale in the scaling screen.

Visuals

For advanced players who don't need to view the keyboard, there is a Visuals overlay included.
The visuals will animatie when somebody is playing and the colors will change according to the notes the corresponding instrument plays.
The speed of the animation depends on the set BPM in Settings.
Each player can switch independently from keyboard view to Visuals in More settings with the "Show Visuals" checkbox.
