Definitely can’t agree about the first point, though entirely agree with the second - I really like some of the JAX pianos at low velocity, Emporeor, for example. But at higher velocities find it has all the subtlety of an elephant in a teashop, and no amount of tweaking seems to be able to fix that. Pianoteq instruments are on another level entirely, imo. Pure Piano is also something I will likely just delete now - when you try something like the paid Pianoteq instruments and compare, there is just no comparison. Pure Piano has far too few velocity layers to reach anywhere near the level of expression of PianoTeq. Again, this is not necessarily about tone - Pure Piano has a nice tone - it is about the difference in how expressive they can be and how it feels to play them when using a velocity sensitive keyboard, or something like Xequence AU pads opened up large on your screen and with vertical velocity turned on, so you can really feel the massively greater range of velocity layers with the Pianoteq.
You definitely don’t and there are pros and cons to each. To be honest, as I play more on my screen than with an external keyboard, I find myself reaching for the Geoshred versions more these days. Being monophonic, these instruments can be played very expressively with the Geoshred keyboard. Plus, the bundles on geoshred will be a lot more attractive to the average iOS user than the bundles Audio Modeling made, which were mostly very much not designed with the hobbyist in mind. Still, there are definitely pros and cons to each, and the Audio Modeling versions are a fair bit more tweakable, and you can play them via Geoshred Control or Pro anyway.
After playing with the demo a bit, it seems like the Stage license is well worth grabbing if you have the money. You can come up with some really super-interesting sounds by playing with the physical modeling parameters. Extremely cool. Not that hard to tweak things into pad-like sounds, some of the clavichord sounds are very interesting to play with in this way.
Yeah, Pianoteq 8 for iPad sounds extremely wonderful and expressive in demo mode!
But, pricy - made an wishlist thru the IAP and could see that the pricetag ended on $800 - a new dimension in the iOS/iPadOS world/community…
At least i’m longing for the Stage package in near future and from there, going piece by piece…
That’s weird, currently I have the same muted notes than you.
But I was pretty sure that the E5 was muted while playing Bach C-major prelude…
I will pay attention to this from now on to see if it changes.
I have the stage license and it’s more than enough for me. The higher options allow a lot of tweaking which is doesn’t help me.
Spend more time tweaking then playing.
The Pianoteq demo is pretty generous and fun to explore. I wonder how the 'no notes' bits of the keyboard are programmed in and whether there's any way to fool it using an AUv3 MIDI control app. I suppose the MIDI value for those notes is actually completely disabled so there's no 'hack' possible.
It's definitely too expensive for me as a non-pianist, but I'll see how flush I feel the next time there's a sale.
If you have the Destop VST of Piano EQ you don’t need to pay for the iOS one but if you want only to buy it for iOS and use it only on an iPad it is a crazy price except if you are a pro musician or a very good piano player, you got a 88 key keyboard controller and you state it is a good price to have Steinway at home or on stage.
As a member , a pro, acclaiming this app on iOS only because it is the beginning of a discrimination on price of apps between poor musician or hobbyist and the rich one and professional top producers .
I am not happy with that coming so I hope they will fail on iOS with very low sales from iOS users. So don’t enter into this game please if you are not a top piano player and are only willing to buy an apps because you got many monney to spend off to you partner a nice travel ….
At the same time I wait for a better use of multicore and better OS on IPad in order that dev like @brambos and other we love can make decent monney with apps far more powerful in their AppStore at say 40 or 50 usd and at the same time maintain upgraded old apps at actual prices.
Everyone must continue to have access in the future for a low budget to iOS music n iPhones or IPad even if they are poor guys.
Oof kinda harsh saying you hope they will fail. I’m personally glad it’s on iOS even if I can’t afford it right away as it opens up many new avenues for iOS music making and will draw a lot more attention from other desktop developers and even just users.
There are still plenty of lower priced options that sound great and it doesn’t signal the end up cheap iOS products. Just a different price point for different demographics.
Tried with a couple different midi apps and the notes were muted for all of them unfortunately. Wish the muted notes were just one octave lower 😂
Do you think you need to spend so much ? Are you a pro or a top piano players. That is the question for pricey apps.
I am not a good piano player so Pure Piano is really all I need , if was at the level to play on a Steinway and do concert that an other story.
For the price I think the Geoshred options may be more up my alley. But it’s still months away probably before I start making that plunge.
Curious about your other comment regarding stage. If you get just the stage license, does it open up the physical modeling parameters on all sounds or just ones that you buy? Still trying to sus out the exact model on pricing here.
The comment of this guy was harsher and shocking about discrimination by price app so my comments.
Other decent low price apps, yes, Pure Piano that I have do more that decent sounding wonderful for a fair pricing.
Oh that's a very good question - if it's only on the packs you've bought that would definitely be less appealing, hopefully someone who knows for sure can answer that one.
It’s easy to land on $800 if you wants all the good stuff into Pianoteq 8 - there’s not only pianos that is interesting in the IAP section…
That's how they get you!
Geoshred State on the App Store that you buy piano Eq packs as IAP with a limitation that you can only use it on Geoshred not with keyboard.
Pianoteq is an ecosystem on a physically modelling. Not an app itself. Not a “piano app”
The price/license model is AMAZING.
Every model has a lot of particularities, expressions…..the first time you played with a good keyboard, you can feel there is something happen with the action of your fingers.

Sorry I don't understand this comment. What is ES? What Geoshred piano packs? They don't have any piano packs! We're discussing the Pianoteq Stage license here and whether it allows you to tweak physical modeling parameters on demo packs or only on packs you have actually bought
Maybe it’s possible if you catch the note-on events for muted notes, transpose them from on semi tone and add pitch-bend to compensate. I will try with StreamByter to see 😗 But the difficulty I guess may be to apply pitch-bend in MPE mode.
Pure Piano is also a very one , piano EQ is not the only good piano. I was invited by Steinway to visit their factory years ago and I have the joy to play on a 100 000 usd Steinway , physical instrument, of course it sounds wonderfully better than any software as PianoEQ is a software stricto sensus my Steinway experience is as I am not a good piano player I don’t become better playing on a Steinway lol
They told me at Steinway that they got 2 type of clients, the rich elite not able to play decently piano and want a Steinway for the de coin their mansion, including famous singers that doesn’t play piano and the true pianists that do concert.
So with PianoEQ you will not play better and you will not win to have better tracks that what you do.
I didn't notice any specific mpe mode in the settings. I'd really appreciate any advice on how to set it up properly, or at least as well as it is possible to do, given that it seems not to be fully mpe.
An ecosystem ? what a marketing big word , as I was for many years a dev I laught when I heard such a big word, an eco system is far more than that and it is dedicated to only make more and more monney , Apple did an ecosystem hardware, software and much more.
PianoEQ is just a desktop VST that offer to its user to have the same software on iOS , their pricing policy is pretty clear about that. Nothing to do with the marketing word ecosystem, very negative word in the Apple world.
But who the f*** are you to give this kind of advice 😂
Go play music and enjoy life please.
Which part of this is a problem for you though? Assuming you pay your taxes and your money is legal, what's so bad about the scenario of rich nerds or wannabes spending their riches on stuff they can't properly use? 🙂 🤷
This is my opinion please respect my opinion I respect you but you don’t respect my opinion even using hash words against me « who the f*** are you «
Please be respectful with people that don’t think like you and it is not a lack of respect to state that a not good piano player like I am will not become better having the best app or physical piano, it is common sense.
Also... With pianoteq you will actually play better, assuming you have even a tiny bit of playing ability, because having a minimum of 127 velocity layers is just indisputably superior to the small number of layers (how many? 10 to 15 maybe but it is certainly very few in comparison) that an app like Pure Piano has. Not someone you'll often find me quoting, but Jens Guell was absolutely correct when he said that many people in the plugin scene either don't know, or have forgotten, what a good piano sounds like, because the market has been dominated for so many years by subpar sample-based products.
I have no problem I have nothing against rich people buying a Steinway I tell thus a common sense sentence you don’t become better musician with a top piano or a top guitarist it’s a pricey fender. But if you got extra monney buy what you want.
For the first time I am not agree with you, sorry. You play better if you are able to play better but a cat will not become a Leo because you put it in the jungle. I had big Playel concert piano from 1900 and I had the chance to play on a grand Steinway, sound was magic but all my mistakes énergie tiny ones were amplified if I can say.
PianoEQ must be great as it is enjoyed by a large base of pro VST users , it not a new things , the dev team is surely very good I don’t make any judgment on the quality of PianoEQ. I can buy it not a monney problem just I don’t want to buy it and warm that if you are not with so much monney and it is more a gas problem you can enjoy Pure Piano .
You are not expressing any opinion writing “I hope they will fail” or “please do no buy” nor you are really “thinking”. Only expressing your frustration that the pricing on iOS is the same as desktop and not having enough money to spend in this.
I think in this regard you could be more rigorous with yourself.
And - come on - could you please stop writing everywhere “PianoEQ” when it is “PianoTeq” 😅. Nothing overly complicated in this.
