Pianoteq 8

Honestly this is how apps should be developed. It is polished works absolutely perfectly. No crashes on my iPhone 11. Identical quality to the desktop app. The sound is stunning.

This software is awesome. I use this with my Roland FP-30X and the sound is dramatically better than what’s offered stock with the piano. Easily worth the license fee. I also love that it records everything you play, so anytime you get a good take, you can stop and save it.

Sounds are great but the ui is hard to use.

Just wow Great that you have plenty of time to demo the different pianos. Not cheap, but same license works on other platforms as well..

I especially like that it is not using samples. This is fantastic sounding true emulation, and so much more flexible (and slim) for it. No huge sample data blobs. The only major downside is the terrible user interface. Maybe a granny’s wet dream, but not worthy of a professional tool.

Been waiting for this for a long time. Good functionality, great to be freed from my laptop, and great Pianoteq sounds.

Modartt offered a seriously generous demo option for people, more generous than other demo’s and allowing to really get a feel and pick the instruments you know you’ll love if you get to the point of making a purchase. To me i would rather spend more and have that option than keep buying 20 and 30 dollar synths that I can’t play first , some of which will just sit unplayed. Not to mention some of those need to be bought twice to use on desktop or aren’t universal. This is amazing on iPhone and iPad and I don’t even have a desktop yet where I can use it but will be excited for when I do. I played with the demo since it came out then purchased stage at start of august. I’ve been playing piano for 35 years , and also play guitar more casually however love classical guitar sounds so this is the most amazing thing for me. I’m mentioning the demo because it is really inconsiderate for people to come on here and give a low rating simply because they are annoyed at the cost. It’s not a normal iOS app you have to understand, and it also has so many capabilities within the app and the instruments you pick that it is like many many many instruments in one so it honestly does end up being a good price for IOS , just not a cheap app. I for one couldn’t justify making the purchase until now and was just grateful to have such a nice demo. Thanks Modartt for bringing real piano playing to iOS .

I’m a long time user of the desktop app, which is great. I’m so excited they brought it to iOS! The UI is a bit difficult to navigate on a phone, but that’s to be expected without a complete redesign. The ability to save notes played to a MIDI file doesn’t seem to work. Perhaps that only works with an attached keyboard though. I haven’t gotten the opportunity to try that yet. But the sound and configurability features are all there.

I have Pianoteq 8 Studio Bundle. I use dedicated computers for home, school, and performances, each running one of my three Pianoteq authorizations. Now the mobile version requires I deactivate a license to use it — but once deauthorized, a machine can never be authorized again. Not cool, Modartt. Not cool.

This is by far the most expressive and playable piano library I’ve used. They’ve nailed physical modeling, and it works flawlessly in this new iOS port. It plays like a real piano, responds exactly as I’d expect, and the tweakability is in a league of its own. It responds immediately to patch switches and adjustments with zero load time, since there are no samples. Voicings sound better than ever in v8, and it now stands up there with some of my favorite sample libraries, without the massive footprint. Great customer service, love the licensing model, -and the tech is at the top of its class! You have to play it to appreciate it.
