Ravenscroft 275 Piano

After reading this negative reaction I was very curious about it. Well, for 35 $ you have a warm, inspiring, musical piano sound: perfect for writing, composing and teaching. The piano samples are really extremely good and the feeling is great too. Only, I hear very sometimes some dropouts -I changed the cache settings without result- in the audio which makes this piano less useful for professional use on stage, but I suppose that a pro player doesn’t use iPads on stage. So my idea is: very very good piano!!!!! Thx for the Bluetooth feature!!

Hands-down, my favorite piano app for iOS when it comes to sound quality. However, when it comes to functionality, not having a transpose feature makes it frustrating. The only key I’m proficient in is C, so I need to transpose to play with other songs (my brain just hasn’t been able to make the other keys work). The app that I think does this the best is Sunday Keys, as it gives you the option to set what key the song is in, instead of having to tap a tiny transpose arrow button like the other iOS music apps have. I don’t code, so I don’t know how difficult it would be to implement those changes, but, I would imagine that it would be very doable and would be easy to release it as an app update.

This app use virtual control knobs. They are very very difficult to adjust up or down, and a couple refuse to go up much or down much. I have tried so many times and ways, and have been patient, but the developer has been inconsiderate enough to make this app extremely difficult to use. Other apps uses sliding controls, but i guess the esthetics of the look the developer wanted to achieve outweighed making it convenient for the paying user to actually use the app.

I’ve been using 275 for about 4-5 years on my 2nd gen ipad pro. It sounds decent at 1024 samples, but it really starts to shine at 2048 and above. However, on my 2nd gen iPad pro, the latency at 2048 (42.7ms) and 4096 (85.3ms) was unacceptable. Recently, I upgraded to a ipad pro 6th gen, which should be 4-6 times faster than the 2nd gen, but the latency times are exactly the same. This is disappointing since Ravenscroft is the primary instrument I use with my midi keyboard.

A metallic high pitched sustain release sample over (at least) middle two octaves. Would like a refund, but prefer they take my money and hire beta testers. Purchased around cyber Monday 2023. iPad Pro 4th edition iOS 15.6

This app is my go to for a specific piano sound I really enjoy when I’m using GarageBand but now it crashes a lot and every time I try to export the audio recorded using this app from GarageBand, there is no sound. Empty. I will still give it five stars but please I hope you see this and try to update it ASAP, since it hasn’t been updated in 11 month now 🥴

I am not a pianist yet, I am a student. I bought this mostly so I could practice hand exercises, scales, and chords on my ipad, while I am traveling and away from my real piano. I tried many apps and this one has the best sound quality and adjustable on screen keyboard size. It allows me to replicate the keyboard size closest to a real keyboard with slight adjustments for the range I need to play for the given exercise or scale, while confined to the dimensions of the 12.9 inch iPad screen. It does not have a lot of bells and whistles, but it does what I need it to do.

In my opinion this is as a real sounding a piano as anyone could ever expect from an app based source. It puts the Korg module to shame. The only thing lacking is the ability to half pedal. No app supports half paddling so I imagine it’s something to do with midi protocols. But man, I really do miss half peddling.

The is such a great sounding piano. It’s has become my daily driver when I travel. This is the piano I use. Excellent sound. However, I wish you could midi map things. Other than that, I highly recommend.

I absolutely love it
