My to go Piano App for playing live

I have KORG MODULE PRO and Ravenscroft apps. I have also tried Pianoteq. This is by far my preferred app. The ability to modified the sound seamless it just priceless. YOU ALL PIANO PLAYERS OUT THERE, JUST GET IT. TRUST ME.

Love it ❤️🎹

Rock solid. Never glitches. I had to turn something off (can’t remember what) but when I did, OMG does it sound and respond nicely to my Roland RS-9 synth action 88 that I use because of arthritis. ❤️🎹

Fundamentally broken

I just wanted a basic piano app that I could play by tapping to practice solfege. I paid 30 dollars because I wanted something that sounded like a real piano. But the UI for this app is insanely bad. If you try quip taps to mimic staccato playing, half the time it plays staccato and half the time it sustains the note for no reason. It is unbearable. I will file for a return, which I have never done. Just insane to pay 30 dollars for something so bad.

Response from developer

Thank you for your review. We're sorry to hear that you are having problems with the onscreen keyboard. We can't replicate the behaviour you describe, but have you perhaps accidentally pressed the sustain pedal button, which is located to the left of the keyboard? For 'pure' sound, it is best to position the Morph Pad slider in the centre. You can also try selecting 'Factory Reset' in the Settings menu to revert to the factory defaults. If you continue to experience issues, please email support@e-instruments.com with more information about your device and system version. This will help us understand your setup.

Update V3.2.3 polyphony issue

Latest version update results in reduced polyphony on my iPhone 7 iOS 15 and note stealing where most recently played notes often do not sound at all. Granted, it’s an older iPhone, but it worked OK on the prior version of the app. Now only about 5 notes can play simultaneously.

Response from developer

We just filed an update (version 3.3) including some further optimisations. If you are still encountering issues, please contact support@e-instruments.com

Doesn’t crash now… but still not for me.

This app crashes every time I touch any area except the main window where the piano is, which basically makes it unusable. Honestly, it doesn’t sound all that good either. I’ve read tons of reviews and articles that portray this as one of the best sounding piano apps on iOS. I don’t see it. I don’t have a problem paying for quality software, but this is worthless for me.

***Update
So the latest update fixes the crashing issue that I had. Unfortunately, I still don’t think it sounds good. Maybe I’m just way too picky.

Amazing

simple but powerful

Update V3.2.3 polyphony issue

Response from developer

Sorry to hear that. These problems can occur on older devices. If you don't need the 'Liquid Morph' feature (which crossfades held chords on the Morph Pad), we recommend turning it off. This should solve the problems you're experiencing. If you are still encountering issues, please contact support@e-instruments.com

Wunderschöne Klänge

Diese App ist einfach nur genial :)! Da kommt beim Spielen richtig Freude auf, und die Ohren werden schlichtweg verwöhnt.

Einen einzigen Verbesserungsvorschlag hätte ich: Wäre es machbar, dass die zusätzlichen Geräusche der Tastenanschläge und der Betätigung des Pedals optional anzuwählen sind? Vor allem mit Kopfhörer stören mich diese Geräusche beim Spielen doch immer wieder, und das, obwohl ich auch ein sehr altes, akustisches Klavier spiele, das auch ähnliche Geräusche macht, die mich aber bei weitem nicht so stören. Das Feature wird bestimmt von vielen geschätzt, dennoch wäre es super, wenn man es an- und ausschalten könnte.

Sonst bleibt mir nur noch zu sagen: Danke für diese klangvolle, einmalige App!

Vielen Dank für das freundliche Feedback. Die Lautstärke der Geräusche ist einstellbar. Dazu wählt man auf der linken Display-Seite einfach das untere der drei Symbole in der Mitte (Wellenform) und dann auf der rechten Seite ebenfalls das untere (drei Schieberegler). Die einzelnen Lautstärken der mechanischen Geräusche können dann nach Belieben eingestellt werden.

Pure sensation

Enfin des sonorités qui tiennent la route, en tout cas des échantillonnages super réalistes qui n’ont rien à envier à un vrai piano à queue. C’est fluide, mordant et chatoyant à la fois, dans un spectre proche des steinways. Merci encore.

Merci beaucoup pour cette belle revue.
