## What is Pure Piano?

Pure Piano is a professional, multi-sampled concert grand piano with a unique Morph Pad that allows you to explore a multitude of sounds ranging from mellow and intimate tones to surreal, cinematic textures. 

Similar to an XY pad in its flat, tactile nature, the Morph Pad offers up nine different core timbres of the piano including percussive, cinematic, bright, and intimate, to name a few. The “pure” piano sits untouched at the heart and center of the space, surrounded by eight more presets for you to explore as you guide your finger seamlessly through the wide-ranging tonal palette of the piano. As you do so, the various timbres blend together allowing you to create your own sounds comprising combinations of neighboring presets for you to save and recall. It doesn’t stop there either. The Morph Pad is linked to the app’s inbuilt EQ, reverb, and delay and so operates as a macro control adding even more to the experience by way of ever-changing texture and atmosphere, all from just one single piano. 

Pure Piano works as a standalone app or as an AUv3 plug-in within your DAW of choice, and extensive connectivity options allow you to connect to your keyboard controller with ease via USB, direct, or Bluetooth MIDI to experience the sound of a professional grand piano through your headphones or speakers. The app also supports direct connection to your Mac using Inter Device Audio (IDAM). This enables you to easily integrate Pure Piano into your desktop projects by sending MIDI and receiving audio with one single cable, as well as network MIDI and Inter-App Audio for triggering the piano from other apps that you might have installed.   

Equipped with customizable reverb, EQ, and delay, sound creation becomes even more creative. Simply unlink any of the audio effects from the Morph Pad to dial in your own settings. Maybe you want to add a long reverb tail to add some extra atmosphere, tweak the EQ a little or add some delay to a particular sound. It’s up to you. 

If all that isn’t enough, the app includes sympathetic resonance which you can adjust along with the pedal and key noise to taste, and there’s a host of flexible tuning options for when you need them. The stretched piano tuning is how a piano technician would tune the piano. The equal temperament tuning, on the other hand, is best for when layering Pure Piano with sounds like electric pianos, pads, or strings. Also provided is the ability to transpose the piano which comes in very useful if you are working with a vocalist who wants to sing in a different key!

Pure Piano is designed and developed by Hamburg-based e-instruments, renowned for their high-end digital recreations of acoustic instruments.

### 4/5 — Beautiful piano sounds, but crashes constantly

*2026-08-10*

Still giving it 4 stars because the piano sounds are really fantastic and I still use the app for looping, but unfortunately I have to continually relaunch the app due to crashes, which makes it tough using it for live performances.  Hope to see an update that fixes this problem because it really does sound amazing and the UI aesthetic is really nice

### 5/5 — It’s awesome!

*2026-07-30*

Love it!

### 4/5 — Pure Piano Plugin Review

*2026-07-17*

This app is genuinely amazing, I love the sound of the piano and the fact that you can adjust it to your liking. My only issue is that I’ve recorded tracks using the plugin in my DAW, but it tends to crash, sometimes it won’t even replay the MIDI files that I’ve recorded and claims I have no storage when I actually do. It’s crashed on me multiple times, failed to produce sound from the MIDI files inside the DAW and there’s been no update to fix this problem, which is shame for a paid product. That being said I still love the app and intend to keep using it, I’ve produced unique and beautiful tracks with it before, but honestly speaking, I hope they fix this issue soon. The sound is worth it, it’s very easy to use, it’s just this aspect that has become a hindrance.
