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!

Wow

This is outstanding work. Much appreciated

Main screen on iPad

The main screen is frozen on the iPad. The title text is cut off. I cannot see the arrows to switch between sounds.
