Okay, but if the pitches are on different rhythms?

I'm not sure I understand. In Speedy, this alternates left and right hands. The left hand just runs up one row of the keyboard, which I can do without looking; the right hand keeps tapping 4 on the keypad. In simple, I have to think about where the notes are, even though I don't have to keep hitting the duration.
This becomes more pronounced if you're doing something like a descending scale in thirds: C-A-B-G- etc. In Simple, it takes a lot of thought to remember what note is next and where the key is. In Speedy, it's just like playing the piano: a third is two keys over.
