Portable Synthesia is the portable version of Synthesia developed to be able to run from a USB flash drive or any other portable device.
Portable Synthesia is the new title of a game previously known as Piano Hero… until Activision told its developer it was not a good idea.
Naming anecdotes aside, Portable Synthesia is designed to be a fun method to learn to play the piano but honestly, I have to disagree on that.
Portable Synthesia is by no means an easy method to learn the piano: I have some very basic piano notions myself and I found it extremely difficult. It could be because I was using a standard computer keyboard to test the game, and not a real music keyboard as recommended by the developer.
On the upside, I especially liked the default song selection the program includes to get you started (they're all popular theme songs from very well-known videogames). Also, note that you can use just about any MID file with Portable Synthesia, which turns it into pretty much a never-ending musical entertainment.
