### 5/5 — Great range of tone.

*2024-01-28*

I wanted to give this app a low score at first because it wasn’t what I had expected - a vintage sounding electric piano. This instrument is noisy with tape machine textures.  Spending a little time with any of the effects knobs though, and you’ll find that it’s also capable of a wide range of tones that are rich and easily sonically malleable. It is its own thing and I think it sounds good.  The other app by this developer is also  of a similar quality and worth checking out.

### 3/5 — Decent piano (but not for Drambo)

*2023-03-23*

The app itself is good, and the developer is super responsive and helpful. The auv3 works well in Cubasis. I personally can’t use the most important features as the auv3 doesn’t load the MIDI/piano choices in Drambo. I also am not a huge fan of the sound but it’s well done for what it is. With that said, I’d go with something else if your a Drambo user. (I would give this a 5 if the auv3 was updated for Drambo.)

### 5/5 — Hidden gem

*2021-06-25*

This piano is super flexible, thanks to the included effects t the filter. Everything from a rich Lo-Fi piano sound to haunting pads and ambient drones is possible, so this is definitely getting used a lot over here! Thanks!

### 5/5 — Developer, this App is way under priced!!!!

*2021-06-16*

Simple, Lo-Fi excellence

### 2/5 — It’s a waste of money

*2021-03-01*

Don’t bother, it only has 2 piano settings. It’s super basic and you can’t use it with FL studio mobile as inner app audio which is why I bought it. Tried it with cubasis and it only loaded half the app. This isn’t something you need, the colors are just very cute

### 3/5 — Not as “lofi” as I thought but still good!

*2021-01-07*

I mean it’s worth paying for it’s just it should have different piano styles

### 5/5 — Ummmmm.....

*2020-10-01*

LEGIT!

Definitely gonna wanna buy this one.  It’s like having a lofi piano on your iPad.  Wait... 

Just get it.  It sounds purdy and it’s dope.  Purdy dope.

### 5/5 — The sound though!

*2020-06-27*

Congratulations on a very deep, rich, smooth sound of an app. You did it right. And the effects you chose go hand in hand and come together to create very natural music that flows right into your ears. The color scheme contrasts make it a little difficult to see. And the cursive. It is a wonderful idea and looks beautiful. Just pisses the eyes off a little. You deserve all the credit and more. I still can’t believe the sound. It’s pretty powerful. I wish you millions of sales so you can retire early and sip on ice cold ice tea. Every day.

### 3/5 — Great Sounds limited connectivity

*2020-05-15, version 1.0.3*

Great sounds with this, here’s hoping it becomes better connected and a bit more stable a few crashes in AUM as generator only.

### 4/5 — A great start, soft wonky piano recorded on tape

*2020-04-24, version 1.0.3*

For any Lofi, Hainbach type experimentalist out there... I’ve been looking for something like this on iPad for a long time. Great accompaniment to slow soundscaping experiments. A responsive new dev has now introduced AB3 compatibility, and is aiming for AU by years end, so I bought this to encourage them :) Definitely useable as is, and hopefully only more so in the future. Lovely sounds :)
