Ravenscroft 275, BASSalicious, iFretless Bass. Ravenscroft still the best on iOS.

But you have never tried any of the Colossus models. So you are hardly authoritative.
Just satisfied... and that's OK.
Ravenscroft is the best all around. Colossus has more sonic dimensions but it crashes in most DAW's and for $50 that's hard to take. The download takes 8-12 hours... insane. And if it crashes at any point... it restarts.
Maybe I should post a classic A/B audio for listener input.
Send me a solo piano MIDI file or Cubasis project and I'll let you decide for free.
@McD, I have listened to all the Colossus demos and they all lack some significant sampling parameters to my ear. The Brown, which is their $50 mega gb piano especially does not work for me. So, I stick with my proclamation.🥳😘
But you have never heard "you play it". Can you describe to parameters that seem to be missing and I'll check to see if they are tweak able.
I'd love to know if you can hear Hermode Tuning:
I suspect it's suitable for Bach Chorales but irrelevant for complex jazz structures that use extensions: 7th, 9th, 11ths and my favorite parallel 8ths.
Anyway... you're happy with RC275 but you did buy a desktop piano so you're not completely done searching for playable digital piano products.
@McD, I do think iOS pianos are not as good as VSTs and VSTs not as good as actual acoustics. It’s the way of things thus far. You can have a great acoustic, however, and poor mics, or mic placement. I just go for the best sound I can get each moment.
I think, as I recall, the releases sound synthetic on the colossus pianos.
A pretty piece played artfully.
There's music to listen to? I'm boycotting SoundCloud until Trump concedes and gives back the stolen art.
#returnthestolenart I hear it drives social media activity to be the initiator of a conspiracy that catch on.
I hate those hash tags that require my brain to insert spacing. I'll bet there are hash tags that can be split into 2 or more ways. Discuss or provide examples:

Thanks for listening @lukesleepwalker. Much appreciated.
@LinearLineman this is a really nice piece. I like a lot of what you do - don't always voice these things. ....I like the Ravenscroft piano too. Has that certain something.
@arktek took my words right out of my mouth. It’s like the start of a Keith Jarrett solo concert.... looking forward to the remaining 2 hours!
Thanks so much for listening, @arktek. Nice to hear from you!
That is high praise @GeoTony, thank you. I wish Keith was still in the game. He must be having some really difficult moments. Good example of the unfairness of life.
Love those lower register sounds @LinearLineman. Ravenscroft is my favorite for iOS pianos. Never heard, or even heard of Colossus, so I won’t be missing anything there. I will say that I’ve always liked the way Arturia’s piano in the “V-Collection” sounds (I have the “5” version IIRC) and there’s another one, can’t remember the name of it right off hand, and I’m not getting up off of the couch to go scroll through the VST folders on my PC right now, but it’s also good... RC275 is however, for my needs, all I need.
I think it ALL sounds like CRAP! Until you release some high resolution, HD, super high bit rate, actual recordings of an actual acoustic piano on a lossless format that I can play through my NEW PREAMP and my fancy new 12 hundred dolla cans, I won’t be listening to a single note more!

Just Kidding!!!!
Beautifully improvised song in Cmin. Love Cmin 7th jazz tunes.
What is that chord at 00:53? Love it.
I'll check out the releases and see if I can hear it. You have to really know an instrument to
detect these types of issues. I know pianos has complex damping mechanisms and I guess they have a very specific envelope. I guess Ravenscroft has release recordings. I'll Google a bit for clues on the specs for these two.
Do you detect this flaw in any of the other top pianos:
@LinearLineman , agree about Keith.
I saw him in Manchester in 1982 and he was like a force of nature. Also he was famous for his interaction with the audience but not in a good way... this is an extract I just found...
“The concert was interrupted because of someone taking photographs... : “It was a cold rainy Manchester evening, a sparse audience, some jaw dropping solos, but the evening was sadly remembered mostly for an extremely insensitive photographer on the balcony (during a particlarly sensitive section of a solo) blasting off a sequence of images on a motordrive, and Keith just slamming his hands on the keyboard marching over to the man and saying, ‘Do you realise what it takes for me to build up to preparing for this piece of work and then to perform it?’ He then told him to get out of the theatre, which to his credit he did.”
One of the greatest improvisers of all time I think.
In addition to the obvious solo concerts I think the solo piano moments on Arbour Zena are my favourites. Also has lots of Jan Garbareck that is good to mimic with Geo Tenor Sax!
@McM, thanks for liking. There are two chords around then. First an Fmaj7 then to a Cmaj7. The voicings are way spread out, tho, over three octaves, I think.
@McD, I only have the Beathawk and AmericanD with no problem. Listen to he Brown demo in Colossus, I’m sure you’ll hear it.
@GeoTony, what a story!
I've just been buzzing off this and the other jazz one next to it on your soundcloud while I draw storyboard frames, lovely lovely lovely!
Thank you Mr. @Krupa. I’m familiar with storyboarding. I represented commercial illustrators for twenty years.
A noble profession sir, a long time since I had an agent though, I never seem to find the time to find one
