Best piano App.
I bought it and wasn’t that impressed, UNTIL I played it on my NEW iPad. WOW! This thing is incredible.. maybe the set up on my old iPad was incorrect. Don’t know.. i’ve tried all the rest. This one is the best.. The Grand, the Upright, amazing. ❤️🎹
Best piano ap I’ve ever tried. It’s perfect.
It’s a virtual Clavinova. Outstanding with external midi controller. It can get expensive but its so worth it. Just get it. You’ll use it all the time.
Old interface but great sounds
I’ve been using this connected to my Roland digital piano for years, the sound quality is a thousand times better than my piano defaults. The only real negative is the outdated interface that’s hardly changed in the 5+ years I’ve been using it.
$75! No trial offered!
Why would anyone pay $75 when Korg Module Grand Piano is completely free
Poor interface design
I use the Music Studio app to work in music. The Crudebytes Piano app is seen as an Inter-App in muisc studio. Load the piano sound and the spund SOON DISAPPEARS and this makes the app UNUSEABLE, you cant depend on it. Also has no Release Control in Music Studio, you cant get the piano sound to continue being heard after you Release the piano keyboard keys. I paid too much for this overhyped up app

Amazing Piano Sound
I’ve been using keyboards for more than 30 years and I can tell you now that this piano sound is one of the best piano sounds there is available. It is amazing to me that we can get such quality Sounds on an iPad. With all due respect to the other reviewers, having used professional grade equipment all my life, I can tell you that the price for this Piano is nothing compared to what you would pay for professional grade equipment. If you want a free piano sound, then by all means use the GarageBand default piano, but if you want a good quality sound, then please don’t expect it for free!

Good Piano
Edit: Dropped a start because after two plus years beyond maintenance update to work with newer devices, this good piano never really improves or gets new updates that improve the functionality of the app. All of the things that could greatly improve this app haven’t been done. Still the hammer think is too loud at lowest settings. Still no global eq.
Dev how do you feel about the issues mentioned below?
Older review:
A lot of people moan that you don’t get to try first. If anything buy the piano’s with the higher velocity layers, they sound good. If you don’t like it from off the bat get a refund. The 24 layer piano is a bit overpriced, I’m yet to try it because of the price. Each piano has its own character.
I’d hoped for more from the bright Japanese as it is meant to have 12 velocity layers although it is only about a gig in size so I’m guessing the quality of the samples is not that great. By far my favourite is the vintage upright which has 8 velocity layers at 3.4 gig. I feel the sampled have been normalised and denoised and sound a bit pristine. The low C1 is a good bit out of tune.
The thunk of the hammers is way too loud even if set at zero and is basically the same sample for each note and sounds unnatural when on. This needs sorting. The reverbs are okay.
The halls, rooms are decent. The cathedral sound a bit mad and unnatural in my honest opinion. A global eq and some presets would be handy.

Switching apps
Wonderful app great sound, but do something about switching between apps without pressing a million keys of the piano. Very annoying!
YES!
The quality of the Colossus Grand Piano with its 24 layers of sampled velocity is so finely detailed in the sound that I mistakenly thought it was a fault at first!
Just a two hours of trying different styles of piano music and I was pleasantly realizing the detail I heard enables me to identify notes by more than their pitch, as if I were sitting in front of a real piano I had played for a few years and was familiar with!
Fantastic realism in this Colossus Grand Piano!

El mejor
Es el mejor piano de la AppStore. Otros están bien si vas a tocar en grupo y no necesitas una dinámica muy extensa, pero con este puedes tocar solo y sientes todo el rango dinámico. Un piano para pianistas!!
Eso si, te tiene que gustar el sonido tipo Bechstein. A mi me encanta.
Sería muy deseable que se añadiese un nuevo control en el que se controlase la relación entre el timbre y la velocidad, no solamente la velocidad como hasta ahora. Esto permitiría a los pianistas con más dinámica controlarla en más teclados controladores y decidir con que velocidad se disparan las muestras de f y ff.
Si no con solo la velocidad o suena enseguida con timbre de fuerte con la curva alta o hay que disminuir mucho la curva y se hacen difílices los pp, p y mp.
Por lo demás a años luz del resto, pero como digo, según lo que toques y como toques hay otros que suenan bien y dan el pego.

音は良いが、GarageBandとの相性は劣悪
今まで無料音源を使っていたので、有料音源にも手を出してみようかと、このアプリで音源を購入させて頂きました。
音自体は非常に良いです。
GarageBandで、Audio units拡張機能として使っても、ノイズや音が切れたり、音源が落ちたりすることもありません。
ですが！
曲をエクスポートすると、途中でこちらのアプリが強制終了したとポップアップが表示されます。エクスポートが完了する直前でGarageBandが落ちます。絶対に落ちます。再起動しても、アプリの再起動をしても変わりませんでした。
恐らく、このアプリはGarageBandでの用途でなく、電子キーボードとiPhoneを連携させて使うためのアプリなのだと思いました。
GarageBandに対応などとの表記はないので、このアプリ自体悪いものではありません。そこだけはご理解を...!
ただし、GarageBandでの用途では使い物にはなりませんでした。

iOS最高峰のピアノ音源
最初に無料でダウンロードされるのは空っぽのサンプラーです。アプリ内に数種類のピアノの紹介動画があるので、それを視聴して気に入ったピアノがあれば購入する → データがダウンロードされる。自分は最初にJapanese Grandを購入しました (エルトン・ジョンのレッド・ピアノが由来でしょうか)。とても良いです。愛用してます。KORG Module Pro (のIvoryやIvory American D)、UVIのRavenscroft 275 Piano、IKのiGrand Piano、等々、iOSの名だたるピアノ音源は多分全部持ってますけど (あくまでもギタリストです笑)、肉厚や立体感その他諸々、Colossus Pianoが一番いいです。リアル。ただどうしても最上位のColossus Concert Grandだけは購入する勇気が出ないんですよね。めちゃめちゃ良いんですけど。スタジオでエンジニアにマイク立ててもらうのと遜色ないクオリティーだと思います。24ベロシティ・レイヤー／データ容量14GB／お値段8,000円也。こいつだけはどうしても購入する勇気が出ない (我ながらヘタレ泣)。いえ、ほんとめちゃめちゃ良いので、音だけでも聴いてみるといいと思います。変なアプリではないので購入しないのに課金されたりということもありませんし、断じて。なんか変なレビューが混じっていたので正確な内容を書いておこうと思って書きましたけど、そういうレベルのピアノ音源です。ぶっちゃけセミプロ以上向き。iPhoneやiPadがガチのピアノ音源になります。

Add a chorus effect please!
Reverb options only?? Come on guys, add a basic chorus effect to use with the CP80! I know you can do it!
Nice sounding instruments in nice written app
It seems that lot’s of work was put to sampling. I like sound of piano, midi player works nicely, no problems with work in background (iPad Pro) perfect for piano lessons or just simple piano playing with greater dynamic range No problems with external audio interfaces - tested with Steinberg URs. Lots of tuning settings worth exploring. I’ve tried with Cubasis (basic settings) - works for my basic needs. I was not able to cause app crush or behave weirdly during 2hrs session.
I regret that I found this app so late…

Why do I have to buy a normal grand
Why does it cost money to play one piano
Not free!
Like many apps on iPad, this one does not tell the true costs in the App Store. This is borderline to illegal, but at least bad style. So know, that the grand piano sounds for this app is 50€.
Response from developer
Darauf wird ausdrücklich am Anfang der App Store Beschreibung hingewiesen: "Note: this app requires in-app purchases to provide its functionalities!" Die Preise und Download-Größe der einzelnen Piano Modelle sind ebenfalls sowohl im App Store und in der App deutlich gelistet.
Great concept, great sound, UI needs a little work in AUV3
Ok, so, first and foremost the acoustic pianos are really some of the best on iOS. If you’re looking for a useable upright in particular, this is the place to get it. There are not really deep uprights on IOS. The stand-alone app is great, though minimalistic. The focus is definitely on the samples.
What will get me to 5 stars?
The AU is … well it’s glitchy. I have issues occasionally with it not loading properly in my hosts (KeyStage and AUM). Once the AU glitches out, you have to close the whole host program and reload it all again, not just reload Colossus. Has to be something with the stream from disk if I’m to take a guess.
Also, the AUv3 interface is WAY scaled back from the standalone. That’s a huge miss for using it. There aren’t a lot of options to begin with, but some of the more interesting functionality is built around them — trance slicer, the modulation, pad level, etc.
Bring the functionality to AUv3 and track down your glitches, I’ll pop to 5 stars.
