Home Concert Xtreme is an intelligent, interactive environment for learning, practicing, and performing music. It serves the needs of students, teachers, hobbyists, and professionals.

Load your musical score (in the form of a Standard MIDI File), connect your MIDI instrument, and start to play. Home Concert Xtreme will match your playing to the score, play the accompaniment tracks in a musically coordinated fashion, and even turn your pages automatically.

Home Concert Xtreme is compatible with thousands of commercial and free MIDI files as well as properly formatted MIDI files that you make yourself. In particular, it is compatible with the MIDI files that are available for most popular piano teaching methods as well as dozens of piano concerto MIDI files and more.

When you load a Standard MIDI File into Home Concert Xtreme, the program lets you view any one or two tracks in notation (such as piano left- and right-hands). If you connect a compatible MIDI keyboard to your iPad, Home Concert Xtreme will expect you play the music on the screen while the program plays all of the other tracks.

As you play, Home Concert Xtreme will determine your location, tempo, and dynamic expression, musically coordinate the accompaniment tracks to match your playing, and turn your pages intelligently. In other words, you are the soloist and Home Concert Xtreme is the conservatory-trained conductor, orchestra, and page-turner.

Home Concert Xtreme provides you with three playback modes:
•LEARN: Home Concert Xtreme waits for you to play the correct note.
•JAM: Home Concert Xtreme plays the accompaniment tracks normally and you have to keep up.
•PERFORM: Home Concert Xtreme follows your tempo and will even jump to another part of the piece if you jump.
