Leave a Review Pure Upright
Gorgeous and now with Sympathetic Resonance!
I’ve probably got around 60 pianos in my iPad, some as apps, some within apps. The piano is my audio holy grail. This is exceptional in my opinion and worth ever penny. The layers blend seamlessly. The versatility is brilliant, it’s like having several piano’s. I work better on uprights and this has enough character to create rich harmonics whilst being clean enough to work well across many styles. And now they’ve added Sympathetic Resonance it’s a stunner Fantastic.Show lessMr Korg
Polyphony Cuts Out Randomly
Using this as a live piece is apparently a no go. Audio randomly cuts out from the previous note which means it has the same polyphony problems as other less expensive plugins. A bit if a disappointment considering its cost and how good it sounds when it is functional.EthanGross
Developer Response
Thanks for your review. The problems you describe seem to be related to the settings. Both Pure Upright and Pure Piano use active "Liquid Morph" as the default setting. What it means is, that a held chord can be morphed in sound on the Morph Pad. This feature needs quite a lot of voices in the background to work and maybe you don’t need it at all. If you deactivate “Liquid Morph” in the settings, you should get a higher polyphony. Held notes will no longer morph, but all newly triggered ones do anyway. Additionally, you should take a look at the "Voice Mode" setting. Since you have a powerful device, you can set it to "Max". If you still experience any tail cutting, please contact our support via e-instruments.com/support/Performance Worthy Tone
Fantastic tone. This was a good investment as an event pianist. Absolutely love the way this playsGood sound, easy to use
I can’t figure how to use it with my ChordMaps2 app. They don’t recognize each other. Works great with everything else. No regrets buying this for the sale price.HomeHobyist
Good sound but stereo field questionable
The overall piano sound is unquestionably good.
But I find that I’m scratching my head over the stereo imaging.
Just playing the C notes on an 88 note keyboard, I found the following;
C0 & C1 - slightly right
C2 - less right
C3 - slightly right
C4 - central
C5 - noticeable left
C6 - noticeably right
This is not only how I perceive them, relatively, in my headphones, but also in an audio analyser.; the difference between C5 & C6 really stands out.
I’m not sure quite what to make of this. It’s clearly a different sound from either stereo channel, but the stereo balance across the keyboard is noticeably different from other piano apps on my iPad.Show lessHotblack Desiarto
Five for the show, one for the money
Pure Upright is very good indeed. Lovely sounds, clever and intuitive control surface, in-built fx, AU3 and the ability to blend modes in unique ways. From that perspective it is a 5 star app. But I must question the price point. Okay, no one is being forced to buy anything, but the world economy is on its knees. The intro price of almost £13 in the UK should have been the full price, IMHO. I believe that selling this app at almost £26 will prove more difficult in a market where most potential customers already have superb piano apps. Including Pure Piano (the developers first IOS app). Ideally, this would have been a reasonably priced IAP for that earlier app, with more to come.Show lessTheWightGuy
I know these guys
And I know you won’t regret your purchase.
That being said… this is “NOT” iOS 13 compatible, you tricked me there! I can’t download on my 13.7 iPad. You need at least iOS 14.
Anyway, lucky for me I have another device with the proper iOS so I can use that for now.
Straight up haven’t even booted the program but pure piano has been one of my favorites for a while so I have a hard time believing I won’t just fall in love with this one.Show lessEnrique Raphaël Page Pérez
