Just saw a video on IGN about pro mode Rockband 3 keyboard and I'm surprised. At last, someone has said this isn't going to help you learn piano and that in fact if anything it will hinder people really wanting to learn by installing bad habbits.
This probably wont rock Harmonix world much but it does mean if their end game is to try and aide people in learning real instruments they have some work to do on the keyboard side.
Short of supplying a larger number of keys and an expert-pro mode that actually uses the bass notes as well as full chords rather than 2 keys as displayed in that video and comes with all the exercises that those of us who can play piano do how can they help aspiring pianists though?
On a side note, what disturbs me though is that they keep saying 2 octaves is half size, that's 16 keys a piano is 88 keys and a keyboard around 60. Perhaps they're comparing it to children's keyboards.
