## What is iGrand Piano CS for iPad?

THE CONCERT QUALITY PIANO APP UPDATED FOR AUDIOBUS AND INTER-APP AUDIO WITH NEW EXPANSION PACK, EQ AND USER VARIATIONS

The ultimate piano instrument provides you with an extraordinary collection of ultra-realistic acoustic pianos along with built-in recording! Use the iRig KEYS and KEYS PRO portable keyboards (www.irigkeys.com) or the iRig MIDI 2 interface (www.irigmidi.com) to connect your external keyboard, and you're ready to compose, rehearse, perform and record with the very best instruments for your mobile world. You can now edit your sound even further with the new 3-band EQ and save up to 4 user variations per instrument. 

iGrand Piano puts the world's finest pianos right at your fingertips with studio-grade quality that stands up to the most powerful virtual instruments available on a computer. 

With high-definition stereo samples across multiple velocities, iGrand Piano brings you the most playable, expressive and beautiful sounding piano instruments available on a mobile device that you can play anytime and everywhere. 

iGrand Piano FREE gives you 2 world-class pianos (including one by registering) along with a capable recorder and metronome. The instruments in the FREE version are limited to  the 4 octaves centered on middle C (C1 to C5). Purchase the “Upgrade to Full Version” option to get the full 88-note range and give your FREE app the same additional 6 instruments as the paid version.

Add the Piano Expansion 1 via in-app purchase to extend your piano library with 9 additional high-quality instruments or the Piano Expansion 2 with 22 all-new instruments including the Hollywood Piano, piano + strings layers and harpsichords.

Record your rehearsals or performances as MIDI with both overdubbing and punch-in capability, then export your track as audio via E-mail or File Sharing or Audio Copy to other iOS apps. With the built-in MIDI Recorder, you can change the tempo of your piece or even choose to use a different piano AFTER you've completed your performance! For composers of any level, the MIDI Recorder lets you capture and develop ideas anywhere your mobile life takes you. iGrand Piano also includes some professional MIDI performances to help you audition the various piano instruments or just inspire your own creative muse!

The easy-to-use instrument editor puts real-time controls on the panel just above the keys to let you adjust the amount of ambience, the position of the lid (open, closed or anything in between), brightness, envelope release, key transposition and tuning. All edit knobs can be assigned to your choice of MIDI controllers for external fine-crafting of your instrument's sonic details. Virtual MIDI and MIDI Program Change are also supported along with Audiobus and Inter-App Audio for iOS 8.

### 1/5 — Ability

*2024-06-09, version 1.2.5*

My name is Romanar and I want to unlock each instrument watching advertisements

### 3/5 — Weird compression

*2024-06-06, version 1.2.5*

Thank you so much for the long awaited update! This is one of the very best acoustic piano apps available. It seems there is some strange compression and velocity response happening since the update, though. Can’t wait to be able to record with this fantastic app again soon. Please fix:) Thank you!

### 1/5 — Sounds gut, aber Nutzung problematisch

*2024-03-02, version 1.2.4*

Ich habe sowohl die bezahlte (!) Version der Pianos als auch der ePianos auf dem iPad Pro (M1). Man kann wirklich viel einstellen, aber in der Praxis sind die Apps für mich nicht nutzbar, weil ich parallel noch ForScore für die Noten auf dem iPad nutze. Egal welches Instrument ich einstelle, sobald ich zu ForScore wechsele, sind die Einstellungen weg und die Apps laufen auf default (1. Instrument). Das passiert weder bei Korg Module, noch bei PurePiano. Trotz mehrfacher Kontaktaufnahme mit der Hotline im Vorfeld eines Konzerts keine Lösung. Daher on Stage im Kombibetrieb ungeeignet!

### 2/5 — No longer compatible with Auria & Audiobus

*2024-01-18*

The app, while playable on its own, seems to no longer connect with Auria or Audiobus and thus can’t be recorded in a DAW. These piano sounds are some of the very best, especially the jazz upright and tack pianos. I’ve relied on this app for many years as a professional player and producer and would love to be able to continue to use these incredible instruments. I’m very grateful for everything this app has made possible- please, please show it the love it deserves update it. Thank you kindly.

### 1/5 — Vorsicht ! Vollversion NICHT kaufen

*2023-11-04, version 1.2.4*

Ich habe die Vollversion gekauft, damit verändert sich aber haargenau gar nichts zur Free-Versionen. Die Instrumente werden dadurch NICHT freigeschaltet. Finger weg ! Abzocke !

### 5/5 — Amazing!

*2023-01-14, version 1.2.4*

Hello, I’m a user of iGrand Piano! This game is amazing in so many ways! I was able to learn Beethoven and P!nk songs with this app, and it’s been a great experience! The only problem I have is that it hasn’t been updated in… 7 yrs?! That’s my only problem, it could use some refurbishment,  but other then that, it’s a 10/10 for me!

### 4/5 — Decent Piano

*2022-09-15, version 1.2.4*

Grand sounds good. Not so keen on the uprights. Useful tool.

### 3/5 — Updates??

*2022-07-10, version 1.2.4*

I don’t understand why the developer refuses to update this app. This is a fantastic app and it sounds marvelous. Many different pianos to choose from. This app is obviously severely out of date.. 6 years??? Really people??

### 1/5 — Péssimo

*2022-03-11, version 1.2.4*

Não dá nem para instalar!

### 5/5 — Amazing and wishing for a Christmas discount for the full version

*2021-11-17, version 1.2.4*

I used it with my iPad and the sound quality is fantastic, I just wished there would be a Christmas discount soon. Plus there are some audio issue when playing for a long time.
