    So I bought it. I couldn't resist, after a friend shared some explorations he made with it. I'm loving the sounds and the XY pad. Especially Intimate, Mellow, Cinematic, Pad, and Reverse, alone and combined. There's so much I could do with this, as well as to just enjoy playing it. For my ambient explorations, and for sample generation for stretching into drones and drifts, there's great potential.

    Awesome!

    To my old and semi deaf ears this is better than the korg (at least I prefer the sound) and similar to ravencroft🤟

    Ooh yes ! My finger is getting closer and closer to this “buy” button.
    Ok, for the sound.
    Would you say the playability is as good as Ravenscroft ?
    We might still wait for a couple of years before PianoTeq drops on the AppStore, so this app could quench my desire for some months 😅

    The video was working earlier, but no longer public for some reason. I viewed it right through, and it helped me choose to buy the app. I'm expecting it to come back online in due course. It was sponsored by e instruments, so maybe they wanted a release time or something.

  • It's lovely.

    I got it. I couldn't resist the sale price.
    It sounds very nice, I like it.

    One issue cropped up while hammering on chords loaded on my 2017 base iPad OS 13.7 (5th generation). While playing the standalone App... I noticed some sporadic (what sounds to me like) "note stealing", but only when rapidly playing a.... "G2 2nd inversion triad"... after playing several other chords in fast secession.

    It got better after I increased the Buffer size to 512.
    It went completely away after I changed the App setting to "Max Notes".

    I haven't yet fully evaluated the AU. But it seemed to play fine on my 1st try in AUM (I set it to Max Notes right from the start).

    I'm sharing my experience in case anyone else hears what seems to be sporadic note-stealing. There are settings that make it go away (that worked for me). :)

    It's a really nice sounding piano. I got lost in it for about an hour after getting it. It can be adjusted in many different ways for different sounding pianos. I even got it to sound like a classical nylon string guitar!

    Explain... is it just a precise spot on the GUI or did you apply more effort to EQ and shape the envelope?

    I hope the product sells a lot because these folks have a lot of products to port over to IOS. Competition is good for the consumer:

  • So...Adam is applying the effects to a pre recorded midi track? Can the morph pad be used as an FX for other plugins?

  • (Not by using the XY GUI) I was noodling with all the FX and the velocity curve, then it was there.... A short plucked sounding guitar-like sound, with reverb. I started to play in a classical-guitar-like style, and thought... This does a pretty good guitar. :)

    I forgot to save it. If I can find the sound again I'll share the settings.

  • I like this just a tad more than ravenscroft. I find it to be a slightly higher quality sampling.

  • This is a very good demo. Clair de Lune at 4:40

    How does the CPU efficiency compare to Ravenscroft?

  • How heavy is it on resources compared to Ravenscroft 275 Piano or any of the other well known piano apps?

    Agree to mr Richards here!

    I’ve promised to return to “review” Pure Piano later, but, I really want to be convinced before I put Pure Piano on top!

    But, one thing is clear, for 14 bucks it’s a bargain for this kind of quality!

  • Need to test it out performance wise. Feels overall lighter and noticed less loading time.

  • @Howard said:

    It seems to have the same resource profile as the Ravenscroft... very similar DSP usage for
    the same inputs.

  • @McD, the mixdown time on Pure Piano was longer.

    Good to know. That would be important for anyone that freezes tracks a lot.
    In the early days of computer graphics animation many programmers took up juggling to
    pass the time while the latest work was rendering.

    Anyone kind enough to upload a demo of the XY positions being modulated with some LFOs or envelopes? I don’t have any IOS pianos except the standard one in Korg Module, but the possibility for Pure Piano to get ‘weird’ has me wanting it.

    Rozeta LFO for the modulations. After 20 seconds I start a 2nd instance (which has to be an IAA since Pure Piano will not start a 2nd instance of AU if you have less than 2GB of RAM).

    In the 2nd instance I manually change the X-Y choices slowly. In the 1st instance they are typically traveling in ovals but it's fairly chaotic.

    The MIDI generator is a Moazic script with 3 of the knobs also mapped to the LFO's for general randomness.

  • I bought Pure Piano.
    My quick review :

    • very nice and mellow tone
    • Nice UI allowing to do quick sound experiments
    • Ultra-low latency, even in Bluetooth.

    Compared to Ravenscroft, which is my reference :

    • tone : very clean and more focused, which is better for me
    • Polyphony : excellent, with no cracks during glissandos as it can occurs with Ravenscroft (sometimes)
    • sustain sympathetic resonance : ok but not as wide
    • per-note string resonance : No, or not noticeable
    • Velocity-curve : the same as Korg module, so a bit too simple for me -> on the opposite, Ravenscroft allows to set velocity level independently from sound level, which is a plus for me.
    • No re-pedalling => you can easily miss a note unfortunately
    • Pedal mechanic noise : yes, but fixed sound level which is annoying
    • Playability : better than Korg Ivory but I still prefer Ravenscroft for that aspect.

    Overall : a very good piano for making music and create atmospheres, very capable as a « pure » piano. For « serious » pianists (ie playing mostly piano pieces) I still think Ravenscroft has the edge.

    Cheers! The swelling as different sounds are morphed to sounds like it could be used to great effect with some deliberation

  • When adding 2 AU instances of Pure Piano inside ApeMatrix, it crashes just after I play a few notes. Does it happen also in AUM ?

  • @ Paulo, I find it problematic with Cubasis3.

    I get a pop-up in AUM advising me that "due to RAM limitations" it can only run one instance at a time on devices with less than 2 GB of RAM.

    I use 1 AUv3 and 1 IAA instance to good purpose in AUM. Of course, pop'ing out to the IAA window is a pain but that's a small detail of uncomfort.

    Hopefully, someone with a 4GB device can comment. Soon we'll have the option to take out a second mortgage and have a 16GB iPad.
