I had to play a live concert for 850+ children and used this app in conjunction with another orchestral app to compose & practise the music at home before adding my gear to the school’s digital piano. This app really offers some fantastic piano sounds, especially after some editing works. It may be that the desktop version is even very slightly better, but it’s also a lot more money, and the difference is negligible. If you’re after a great sounding, authentic, piano sound, Ravenscroft 275 won’t disappoint. Ravenscroft has more dynamic range, more velocity layers, a much richer sound, an authentic stereo audio field, sympathetic resonance and even damper noise if you want. Even making various tweaks I couldn’t get very close. Selecting my usual favourite I was surprised by how much better the Ravenscroft 275 is. The Pure Synth piano’s aren’t in the same league at all. Retro Piano doesn’t claim to be realistic but it’s good at what it does.

Using AUM, I loaded Retro Piano, Pure Synth and used a Yamaha MODX8 to compare and contrast. To confirm this I compared it to a number of piano related apps and to hardware. Just fixing the crackle will up my rating to five stars.Īfter a lot of research I bought Ravenscroft 275. Please fix the crackle issue and consider the ‘volume control’ issue. I would like the piano not to respond to volume messages aside from being able to fix a set volume by using the slider. I note that another user has mentioned cc#7 as well. It crackles intermittently when taking foot off the sustain pedal.Īlso, although not a fault as such, I have requested that an option be provided to ‘mute’ cc#7 volume as my controller keyboard sends out volume message that I don’t want the piano to action.
#Ravenscroft 275 mac update#
I had hoped that the latest update might have fixed the issue. I too reported the matter sending UVI a demo video. It’s a wonderful piano sound but I have the ‘crackles’ problem mentioned by another user a year ago. ) Five stars for the App played via GarageBand and four stars when played stand-alone ( Further to what I wrote previously below, I have now placed the App into GarageBand, and the occasional scratch noise on releasing the sustain pedal on my midi controller keyboard, no longer happens. IPhone 5 or newer (iPhone 6 or newer recommended)Īddendum to crackles problem not resolved External keyboard and MIDI-over-LAN support via CoreMIDI Very efficient use of RAM and CPU resources Lossless FLAC format provides the highest quality with smallest disk footprint and fast loading times
