Piano Block Plugin

Piano Block is a plugin that allow you to play a variety of tones using the piano keyboard.
This plugin does not add any useful features to WordPress, nor does it add any useful blocks to help you write posts.
Let’s insert this block and enjoy the music if you are stuck in writing an article or just want a little distraction.

• 15 instruments
• Realistic sound based on sound sources sampled from actual instruments
• Variable volume, switchable octave pitch and sustain pedal status
• Synthesizer with 18 oscillators and customizable envelope

Note: The keys are optimized for the QWERTY keyboard and may not map correctly on other keyboards.
