Verify the file you got

optional

Every release ships a SHA256SUMS.txt covering all its files. One command, no key and no account, and you know the file you downloaded is the file that was built. Linux ships unsigned, so this is its signature; the macOS and Windows builds carry code signatures your OS checks on its own.

sha256sum -c SHA256SUMS.txt

Get SHA256SUMS.txt for the current release

Two steps, then it opens.

Get MidiSlayer from the App Store and open it.
Plug your keyboard in over USB, or pair a Bluetooth MIDI keyboard from the app. The pairing button is in Settings too.

System requirements

A recommended baseline. It runs on less, but this keeps everything smooth.

Operating system: macOS 11 Big Sur or later, Windows 10 and 11, 64-bit Linux (Debian, Fedora and friends), or an iPad on iPadOS 16 or later.
A MIDI keyboard: Any MIDI piano or controller, connected over USB, or Bluetooth MIDI on iPad. The on-screen keyboard is enough to try it out; the real training wants real keys.
Processor: Any 64-bit dual-core CPU from roughly the last decade. No dedicated graphics card needed.
Memory & storage: 4 GB of RAM and around 150 MB of free disk. It's a small native app, not a heavy runtime.
Connection: One online activation, then it practises offline. Everything stays in a local database on your machine.

Your timing is stamped in a native layer the instant each note arrives, so a modest machine still scores you honestly. You don't need a fast CPU for an accurate grade, only for smooth visuals.
