  • There's a reason they hide how much it costs

    It's perfectly adequate as a midi sound unit.

    No, it is not worth $140 for two stinking sampled sound collections. Especially not when competitors offer much more realistic modeling based synthesis for considerably less while supporting MPE and polyphonic aftertouch.
  • Excellent

    This software is awesome. I use this with my Roland FP-30X and the sound is dramatically better than what’s offered stock with the piano. Easily worth the license fee. I also love that it records everything you play, so anytime you get a good take, you can stop and save it.
  • Great sound and response

    Didn’t even realize my license from PC carried over to iOS which is awesome. They could have charged separately for both but included in the main license. Works just as good as the PC plugin. Playing responsiveness is really good and also sounds pretty decent too. I have Keyscape on PC as well and the touch response is better on Pianoteq. The auto calibration for touch response is great as well to fine tune to your keyboard.

  • Breathe life into old pianos.

    This is a fantastic app, particularly in the upgraded versions.
    Initially I felt the sound was somewhat strange but given time and a few tweaks and the sound is great and the playability means I rarely use the onboard sounds on my clavinova clp 635.
    I also have the electric piano pack, absolutely fantastic for those 70’s bangers!

  • Sounds good but ui is hard to use

    Sounds are great but the ui is hard to use.
  • Fantastic but grossly overpriced for average IPad user

    Fantastic quality and sad that I personally can’t justify the cost. I will never move to Logic Pro on desktop where apps like this are crazily overpriced. Thousands of iPad users will be priced out of this great product. Back to Ravenscroft. Sad.
  • The best piano on iPad.

    Just wow

    Great that you have plenty of time to demo the different pianos.

    Not cheap, but same license works on other platforms as well..
  • Fantastic sound, terrible UI

    I especially like that it is not using samples. This is fantastic sounding true emulation, and so much more flexible (and slim) for it. No huge sample data blobs.

    The only major downside is the terrible user interface. Maybe a granny’s wet dream, but not worthy of a professional tool.
  • Thanks Modartt!

    Been waiting for this for a long time. Good functionality, great to be freed from my laptop, and great Pianoteq sounds.
  • Beautiful piano and guitar ; amazing deal since it’s desktop and takes no space

    Modartt offered a seriously generous demo option for people, more generous than other demo’s and allowing to really get a feel and pick the instruments you know you’ll love if you get to the point of making a purchase. To me i would rather spend more and have that option than keep buying 20 and 30 dollar synths that I can’t play first , some of which will just sit unplayed. Not to mention some of those need to be bought twice to use on desktop or aren’t universal. This is amazing on iPhone and iPad and I don’t even have a desktop yet where I can use it but will be excited for when I do. I played with the demo since it came out then purchased stage at start of august. I’ve been playing piano for 35 years , and also play guitar more casually however love classical guitar sounds so this is the most amazing thing for me. I’m mentioning the demo because it is really inconsiderate for people to come on here and give a low rating simply because they are annoyed at the cost. It’s not a normal iOS app you have to understand, and it also has so many capabilities within the app and the instruments you pick that it is like many many many instruments in one so it honestly does end up being a good price for IOS , just not a cheap app. I for one couldn’t justify making the purchase until now and was just grateful to have such a nice demo. Thanks Modartt for bringing real piano playing to iOS .
