Amazing app

I love this app so much. Especially the no sleep pluck. I would love to see another piano in the future that focus on dark ambient plucks in the style of oneheart or antent. This is an amazing app, and I’m really pleased with it. I’ve already published 2 songs, using this app for the plucks. Thank you again.

Tremendous

experimental music. It’s also an incredibly good source of samples for those working with Eurorack or hardware samplers. It is hands down my favorite keyboard instrument app.thank you sound test room 🫶🏼

Cool

Great dark and eerie sounds

Though the instrument controls are fairly basic, I love the sounds from this instrument. They fit the style of music that I like to play very well. I would love to see more sounds added to the instrument over time (even if they require a small IAP). My biggest challenge with the Backrooms Piano is that it doesn’t support the sustain pedal at all, which makes properly playing a *piano* quite a problem. If the keys are held down they ring out properly, but sustain pedal MIDI messages are simply ignored. This would be a far more usable instrument if the sustain pedal was fixed. Thanks!
