### 5/5 — Exelente

*2026-04-16, version 7.36*

👏👏⭐️⭐️⭐️

### 4/5 — Almost Perfect

*2026-04-10, version 7.36*

There are some special instrument patches in Taqsim’s ‘World Piano’ that I have not been able to find anywhere else. Case(s) in point the Parisian Accordion patch and the Drone patch. To the best of my knowledge these two patch sounds are not even available in their SOLO APP or the standalone ‘’Drone’ APP. However, they no longer can be played or recorded within Logic Pro. These patches can only be played within their native ‘World’ Piano APP. If this problem was fixed I’d give the App all five STARS, the MOON and the PLANETS.

### 5/5 — Great app, but theres one issue.

*2026-03-17, version 7.36*

This app is really great, the default instruments are pretty good, but when I try to import an sf2 file it loads with “0000” “0001” “0002 and won’t open, anyone care to help?

### 5/5 — Camron

### 5/5 — Merci pour la mise à jour

*2026-01-09*

Bon courage, bon application ‏Nous vous souhaitons plus Applications ou voix

**Developer response:** Thank you for the suggestion! 🙌 Adding a **Tulum** (the traditional Turkish bagpipe) voice to the sound library is a fantastic idea, especially for fans of authentic regional instruments. We’ve added it to our request list for future updates and sound pack expansions. Stay tuned—and thanks again for your input! 🎶🪗
