sounds good, but..

where is the midi sustain pedal? Cc64 doesn’t affect it, without a sustain midi option it’s pretty useless as a piano app. There is a tiny little sustain button on the left, but requires using your hand for sustaining notes, and no midi learn? maybe I’m missing something? Nearly Every piano and synth app I use responds to a CC64 latch or sustain command. I bought the suite, the other app doesn’t respond to CC64 either.

Am I missing something? (Not any more!)

(Previous comment: Every time the app is opened it reverts back to default settings. Is there no way to load/save the settings?) Thanks for the latest update, which solves the above problem and is just perfect 👍👍👍

Great sound and great price

This app is great. The sound is fantastic for the price and size (800mb total download). I have many pricey vsts on pc that I’m comparing against. The controls are very basic but adequate in most regards, though one significant missing item is the ability to create a custom velocity curve. There are 3 preset curves, but I only find one of them usable and still want to tweak it a little to increase the playability. Seems like an easy addition and a shame it’s missing. Let’s hope a future update fixes that (though I still think it is 5 stars as is).

Hi Zebs22000, We will soon release a nice update for Etude that will include options to save and load settings, as well as remember the app's state when you close and reopen it. It will take a little more time, but not too long. Best, Lars

The Yamaha Sound

This is hands down the best Yamaha cfx auv3 on the App Store. It nails the recording styles rather than focusing on base-instrument modeling like others.

Needs to be fixed

Having issues with getting sound from the standalone app or when I open it in cubasis

Response from developer

Hi Joseph Malic Adams, Thanks again for your previous review and rating. Have you been able to resolve your issue in the meantime (using the proposed steps below)? If the problem persists, please get in touch with us via our Mobile Apps Forum (https://forums.steinberg.net/c/mobile-apps) to allow us exchanging with you, to resolve your problem. Best, Lars ---- Hi Joseph Malic Adams, Thanks for your message. Please delete both versions of Etude: the standalone app and the plug-in version in Cubasis. After that, download the latest Etude standalone version from the App Store. Once it’s installed, launch the standalone app and tap the Content Download button to download the required content. When that’s done, please check whether Etude produces sound when you play the built-in on-screen keyboard. If it does, the next step is to launch Cubasis, open the in-app store, and download the Etude plug-in version by tapping the corresponding download button. Let us know how it goes! Best, Lars

Gutes Piano. Es fehlen Velocity Kurven.

Guter Pianoklang. Funktion zur Auswahl von Velocity Kurven (User/preset) fehlt, das ist nicht gut. Mein Controller (Roland RD—300NX) liefert sehr gute Velocity Werte (ca. 5—127!!!) bei Pianoteq (lineare Standard—Einstellung). Etude setzt dies ppp—mf um, f mit Anstrengung, es spielt sich sehr schwergängig und dumpf.

Etude Grand Piano

Na dem Kauf habe ich direkt ausprobiert, die 15,99 Euro sind nicht umsonst weggeworfen, es hat sich gelohnt, bin zufrieden mit dem Sound, kann ich weiter empfehlen, viele Grüße an die Entwickler, Eugen
