Colossus Piano

You should give a free piano sound to encourage us to purchase more ?

Reverb options only?? Come on guys, add a basic chorus effect to use with the CP80! I know you can do it!

Ok, so, first and foremost the acoustic pianos are really some of the best on iOS. If you’re looking for a useable upright in particular, this is the place to get it. There are not really deep uprights on IOS. The stand-alone app is great, though minimalistic. The focus is definitely on the samples. What will get me to 5 stars? The AU is … well it’s glitchy. I have issues occasionally with it not loading properly in my hosts (KeyStage and AUM). Once the AU glitches out, you have to close the whole host program and reload it all again, not just reload Colossus. Has to be something with the stream from disk if I’m to take a guess. Also, the AUv3 interface is WAY scaled back from the standalone. That’s a huge miss for using it. There aren’t a lot of options to begin with, but some of the more interesting functionality is built around them — trance slicer, the modulation, pad level, etc. Bring the functionality to AUv3 and track down your glitches, I’ll pop to 5 stars.

Lots of character and long evolving sounds throughout the decay. Still my favorite piano app.

I bought the Baby piano for 26$ and When I opened the app i can’t use it and the keep asking me to buy it again, They will stole ur money like what they did to me

I really love the sounds - I’ve downloaded 2 pianos so far and I’m really enjoying the nuances in the samples. It’s a bit annoying that once I purchase a piano, there’s no way to find the name of that particular instrument (I have the black grand and the red grand, which I think are German/American and Japanese?). The layout of the app is... OK. They could use some UX designers to make the layout cleaner. The biggest disappointment is that it doesn’t show up as an option in iOS GarageBand to use as an external instrument. I’ve been looking for a great piano sound to bring into some of my iOS produced music, but I guess I’ll have to keep looking.

When you download an app that doesn’t charge but then you need to do an additional download for $50 for it to work , I’m out. I don’t mind paying for a good app but you better tell me how front. If the ap is that good it doesn’t need to be deceptive.

I'm in iphone 6, and it crashes with just a single track in any DAW when used as an audio unit. It will record and often play back at normal speed, without crashing. But as soon as you try to freeze / merge / export the track, it gives you studdering audio or simply silence. Which means you will work hard to make a perfect song, only to be unable to render it in the end.

Colossus Piano is THE most realistic sounding piano (and EP) app currently available. If you want a piano that has been compressed and sits well in a mix right out-the-box, try Korg Module or Neo-Soul keys; I have those as well. However, for uncompressed ultra-realism, with a very wide dynamic range, the Colossus is best. The main piano is 14gb in size, a hint to how articulately sampled it is. This is especially great if you’re playing live jazz or classical gigs with no accompaniment. Again, this is probably overkill if you just need a pop piano that sits in a mix alongside vocals, guitars, drums, synths, bass, etc.

I used to love this app. It sounds great and is an excellent piano - When it works. The problem is there have been major stability issues for ever a year and even after contacting the developer to report crashes and bugs, there hasn't been an update in 8 months to fix anything. The lack up updates means simple things like proper support for integration with new iOS 13 functionality is also not available. I was forced to start using another piano since it's so unstable. I can't get a refund so I'm out almost $100. The best one I've found so far is the Ravenscroft 275 app. It lacks a couple minor features, but you probably won't miss them and the sound is superb.
