A real take, rendered by Xascada exactly as it was played. Not a pre-rendered animation — the light you see is the performance.
What it does for you.
A note goes in. Light comes out.
Every key you press lands as light the same instant, while the top bar reads the key, the chord and the Roman numeral. Play a progression and watch it name itself.
Know when you're actually improving.
Drill a graded exercise in step-mode — it waits for the right note — and the run comes back scored: accuracy, longest streak, perfect / good / miss, a star rating against your best. 78% becomes 86% becomes 94%, and you can see it.
A performance becomes a video.
Pick a theme and an impact effect, choose the built-in synth or your own recording, and render to 1080p. What you saw while you played is exactly what you post.

Questions, answered.
Is there a free trial?
Yes. Every plan starts with a 14-day free trial: download Xascada, plug in a MIDI keyboard, and play the whole instrument. Nothing is charged until day 14, and if you cancel before then you pay nothing.
Do I need a MIDI keyboard?
No. Open a MIDI file and it plays through the built-in synth, or load it into a graded drill. Plug in a USB MIDI keyboard when you want to play live and have your notes become light in real time.
Does Xascada make sound?
Yes. It has a built-in synth, so a MIDI file plays back on its own. Plug in a MIDI keyboard to play live, and when you export a video you can use the synth or your own recording as the audio.
What does Pro cost?
After the 14-day free trial, $4.99 a month, or $49.99 a year (that's $4.17 a month, billed annually). Both plans are the same Pro. Cancel anytime from your account.
