Ravenscroft 275 Piano

This app is expensive for a reason. The sound this app makes is better than my electric piano, and I look forward to use Ravenscroft is the future. But I think the options menu can use a new splash of paint. While the main screen looks professional and clean, the options menu looks like the default menu in programs like Unity. The feature I beg for is the option to automatically swap to a USB Midi device when it gets plugged into the app. The way I need to do it now is to: 1. open the app, 2. go to the options menu, 3. plug my piano in to the iPad, 4. choose «USB-MIDI» as input device, and then close the options menu. I also want my custom presets to be the default when the app boots. I also don’t know how to delete the custom presets that I have made. Overall, the app is great. But I think the price warrants a better user experience

The best

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
