Pure Piano - Grand Piano App

Virtual Instrument & AUv3

Published by: e-instruments lab

Description

Pure Piano is a professional, multi-sampled concert grand piano with a unique Morph Pad that allows you to explore a multitude of sounds ranging from mellow and intimate tones to surreal, cinematic textures.
Similar to an XY pad in its flat, tactile nature, the Morph Pad offers up nine different core timbres of the piano including percussive, cinematic, bright, and intimate, to name a few. The “pure” piano sits untouched at the heart and center of the space, surrounded by eight more presets for you to explore as you guide your finger seamlessly through the wide-ranging tonal palette of the piano. As you do so, the various timbres blend together allowing you to create your own sounds comprising combinations of neighboring presets for you to save and recall. It doesn’t stop there either. The Morph Pad is linked to the app’s inbuilt EQ, reverb, and delay and so operates as a macro control adding even more to the experience by way of ever-changing texture and atmosphere, all from just one single piano.
Pure Piano works as a standalone app or as an AUv3 plug-in within your DAW of choice, and extensive connectivity options allow you to connect to your keyboard controller with ease via USB, direct, or Bluetooth MIDI to experience the sound of a professional grand piano through your headphones or speakers. The app also supports direct connection to your Mac using Inter Device Audio (IDAM). This enables you to easily integrate Pure Piano into your desktop projects by sending MIDI and receiving audio with one single cable, as well as network MIDI and Inter-App Audio for triggering the piano from other apps that you might have installed.
Equipped with customizable reverb, EQ, and delay, sound creation becomes even more creative. Simply unlink any of the audio effects from the Morph Pad to dial in your own settings. Maybe you want to add a long reverb tail to add some extra atmosphere, tweak the EQ a little or add some delay to a particular sound. It’s up to you.
If all that isn’t enough, the app includes sympathetic resonance which you can adjust along with the pedal and key noise to taste, and there’s a host of flexible tuning options for when you need them. The stretched piano tuning is how a piano technician would tune the piano. The equal temperament tuning, on the other hand, is best for when layering Pure Piano with sounds like electric pianos, pads, or strings. Also provided is the ability to transpose the piano which comes in very useful if you are working with a vocalist who wants to sing in a different key!
Pure Piano is designed and developed by Hamburg-based e-instruments, renowned for their high-end digital recreations of acoustic instruments.

Pure Piano Reviews

Excellent sound, a few problems

ChapmanStick on

Canada

The best sound out there!! That’s the 4 stars. The missing fifth is because when using it as a plugin with other iPad apps, it often fails on multiple instances and won’t load. Really problematic in a performance situation to have to close all apps. Don’t have this problem with other piano apps. Should have a dedicated plugin mode to prevent this

Really close

OriginalMrMark on

United States

String harmonics, are a nice upgrade, but I’d very much like to see chord readouts, and a much simpler and quicker way to transpose

Not working as auv3 plugin

flakok7 on

United States

Good sounds but it crashes as Auv3 plugin. If i use more than 2 instances, the app crashes, so sadly a lost my money. For solo playing it works, nothing more.

Almost perfect!

Just this guy, you know? on

United States

The sound quality of the instrument is outstanding. The ability to tailor the sound for various environments, from intimate to live, to outlandishly over-processed, is what really makes this virtual instrument shine. The only downside from a pianist standpoint is how the pedal dynamics work. There is no option for a continuous pedal controller to allow for effects like half pedaling or pedal catching, where you play a base note and release it, but immediately catch it with the pedal. The pedal is either 100% depressed or 100% not. This means that some classical pieces are difficult to play, or just unplayable, even if one has a suitable piano action controller to drive the virtual instrument. Hopefully they can add these features and future releases!

Great,

Really great sounding piano. I’ve tried several and this is the one for me. I’ve tried Ravenscroft, pianoteq, and Korg pro module. This one sounds the most natural to me.

Has Issues With Audio Tails Cutting Out

EthanGross on

United States

And this is why you don’t buy plugins. Everything has issues even the expensive ones. This particular engine has issues with audio tails cutting out seemingly at random times while playing. Not the same as letting off the sustain. Other than that the sound and behavior of the keys is fairly decent and better than garage band no doubt. But for the money, it should not have these problems. Running iphone13pro max.

Overrated and Overpriced

SuperPieruccio on

United States

Classic Piano on Garage band sounds more crispy and harmonic than any possible configuration of Pure piano. A lot to play with … but if you are looking for a classic piano, you already have it in garage band.

One of the best sounding pianos for iOS

Qwertypoiu6hv on

United States

Pretty decent piano for a MIDI keyboard. Morph pad is cool and great for tonal shaping for beginners. I wish there were different reverb engines. The plate like reverb is pretty good, but I would love to have a high cut control and a modulated reverb option. The reviews say the devs listen to their customers (thank you!) so I’ll keep my fingers crossed! There’s also an issue where it sounds like occasionally an octave is triggered by one note? It’s pretty rare and hard to recreate

Sounds great

johngme22 on

And is fun.

Slow to Load/Hard to integrate in DAW
