Sonique is a solo-developed interactive piano visualization tool that transforms MIDI files into beautifully animated falling notes. Designed for learners, performers, and music lovers, it offers a clean and responsive interface for playing, practicing, and simply enjoying music in real time.
⚠️ Note: Sonique is in early development and not yet feature-complete.
Current Phase: MVP Complete – Iterating
The first working version (MVP) is kinda ready:
- Real-time MIDI playback
- Smooth falling note animations
- A clean and functional user interface
I'm currently focused on improving stability, adding quality-of-life features, and expanding customization options.
- C++ – Core programming language
- Raylib – Lightweight rendering and game loop library
- RtMidi – Cross-platform MIDI I/O
- FluidSynth – Software synthesizer for high-quality MIDI playback
Initial development is on macOS, which will be the first supported platform. I also plan to support Windows, with potential Linux support depending on demand and time.
Most MIDI visualizers do have some kind of cost and may also be a bit overcomplicated for some people
Sonique is free, will always be free. It is also open-source.
⚠️ Unstable Preview Build: For testing only. Expect bugs and missing features.
Download the latest build: ➡️ Sonique v0.1.0-preview
Planned features: (no guarantee)
- Multiple MIDI input/output device support
- Customizable visual styles
- Playback controls (looping, seek bar, etc.)
- Recording and export options
This is a solo project and still evolving — there's no strict roadmap or contribution guide yet. That said, ideas, suggestions, and feedback are always welcome! Feel free to open an issue or start a discussion on GitHub.
