- 7 best acoustic pianos apps for iOS from the performer point of view.
This is my list based on my own experience, considering playability, realism and overall sound.
-Pianoteq, Modartt
-Ravenscroft 275, UVI
-Pure Upright, e-Instruments
-Pure piano, e-Instruments
-Just Piano, GSI
-Oasys, Korg Module pro
-Studio Grand, Apple Logic Pro
Each app presents several adjustable parameters, presets and/or sample sets. All of these will be analyzed in specific reviews for each app.
Here are only presented the default presets. - Hudba
I’m more amazed at how good Fausto is! The pianos are alright too! lol 😂
Thanks! Yes, these pianos help a bit😅
We need MainStage on IPad!
What a nice review! I learned so much out of it. Thank you very much, Fausto! P.S. Pianoteq has a new release (8.3) which includes a new piano - the Viennese Bösendorfer VC 290.
Thank you! Yes, all these small steps are adding up to a nearlly perfect instrument. Full review available soon.
I got the sound of Oasys by combining Pianoteq with Just Piano and a bit of the sythetic pianos from Korg iM1
We should share recipes😂
@@FaustoFerreira😂 That’s the only weird combination I have up to now.
Hey, there is KingB organ from yonac, it would be amazing if you could also revisit your hammond comparison video with this new one, sadly, blueB3 organ is now out of the market.
@jjptech I will try KingB. Thanks for the suggestion
pianoteq is playable but for whatever reason is lacking in tone. I've heard it sound great from others but mine always sounds thin. glad to hear you support Raven as it just always feels good and sings both softly and quietly, so I'm not crazy! 😂
pianoteq is modeled. Years ago it sounded synthetic, now it's very close to perfect. Every update makes it a little bit better, even the new update for version 8 is subtle but meaningfull. Baby steps. Ravenscroft is still the best sample based piano for iOS. I just miss the extra GB and fuctionality that we have on PC, and the gap is closing, comparing the competition
I agree. I have Ravenscroft and it is the only thing I will play. I have the Piano tech demo but just can't get it to sound as good as R275 no matter how much I tweak it....
The best physical model against the best hybrid sampling available: sampling sounds real ( it is real ), but lacks in expressiveness. Physical modelling sounds synthetic ( it is synthetic ) but gives you the most possible expressiveness in a digital system. Both aproaches are closing the gap nowadays.
I have Pianoteq with 4 pianos (Steinway, Petrof, Grotrian and K2) and am super happy with it. The electric pianos are as well awesome. All that thanks to the great reviews of Fausto.
P.S. there is a new iPad Air for around 700 Euro (some are sending it even for 650) with Apple M2 chip and 128 GB memory - really powerful version for a good price.
Glad I could help! And thanks for the iPad air suggestion, it seems like a good alternative to the more expensive Pro version, although I would not go for 128 GB if you are serious about iOS.
Dear Fausto, which MIDI controller are you playing in the video ? It's so capable to get your dynamic and has a perfect velocity curve and details.... ? Surprising !
I entered the store with the idea of spending 3000€ on a Nord Stage or Grand, but something didn't feel right on the keys. But then I tryed the Numa X 88. had my ipad with me. Straight out of the box it felt perfect with ravenscroft, default velo curves. It feels even better with pianoteq. No need to adjust anything. Yes, surprising, cause I'm picky about my keys
Thinking about getting the pianoteq license. So when you pick your pianos after you pay, for example, let’s say a Steinway.. do I get all the Steinway variations or just one bank?
Thanks 🙏🏻
You get one Steinway model, with a bank of variations.
@@FaustoFerreira thank you! which one did you pick up? For modern music
@@x3a3x3 I have Steinway model D, Model B, Petrof, Grotrian, Bechstein, electric pianos. The Model D should be the first one to get, the more versatile one
@@FaustoFerreira thank you, I’ll add it to my list..
Thank you Fausto for this valuable analysis! I'm amazed at how good these iOS pianos are
Thank you! My first comment for this video!
We need MainStage on IPad!
Yes, we need mainstage, and other good software. But contrary to most people opinion, I'm glad that iPadOs is taking is own way, It is a fresh take, light and junk free OS that is still evolving. I'm Using it from the begining, it's getting better and better every update.
