These polyphonic patterns can then be sequenced in a “Song” page. These patterns can be polyphonic – that is, if you have a different sample on each pad, and you play on the internal keyboard (or use an external source of MIDI) to play the samples on each pad, all these can all be stored in one pattern. These pads can either play a single sample, or, if you press the “Pitch” control when a pad is selected, a keyboard shows up, on which you can play patterns, which will be remembered and stored as a set of sixteen patterns. The central control unit is a four by four of pads. This is a very complex app, which I think is in the early stages of its development, but which is already a very powerful recording/sampling/performing environment.

Top marks to UVI for making what will probably become the standard in iOS sampled pianos.īeathawk – Portable Music Production Studio In Audiobus3, in fact, you can have multiple instances of it, each controlled with a different MIDI controller. Audiobus, IAA, AudioUnits are all supported. At only $35.99 US (your price will vary based on your country), it’s expensive for an app, but very cheap for a sampled piano of this quality. So we have here a great sounding sampled piano, and one that is very responsive and easy to play. On the iPhone4S, older device that it is, there was some slight latency heard, but actually, not much more than with a less powerful desktop computer (bear in mind that an iPhone5 is the minimum they say is required, so my use of the iPhone4S is simply a test).
With a MIDI keyboard going into it, and a very low latency set to around 5ms (it will go lower), I couldn’t detect any delay from either when I pressed the keys or touched the keys on the screen. How responsive is it to play? On my iPad4 and my iPhone6S, the answer was very, very good. If you want a piano sound on your iOS devices, you can’t do better than this. It’s got a lovely timbre – the original piano was obviously a very fine one, and the sampling is up to UVIs usual excellence and high standards. The two questions one wants to ask about any sampled piano, of course, is how does it sound, and how responsive is it to play.
It has ten factory presets, which have different settings of the EQ, reverb and velocity controls, and you can save your own presets as well. If you have multiple copies of the app on several devices, that means that you can easily set up different sets of 12-note tuning so that you could get, for example 24 or 36 or 48-tone tuning across all the devices, depending on how you set your reference A. It the Global preferences you can adjust the reference frequency of A from 420 to 460 Hz. It’s massively polyphonic, of course, receives MIDI, has an equalizer, a reverb, and an adjustable velocity curve as well as the ability to have either single or split keyboards, and has a sustain button, which functions just like a sustain pedal on a piano would. On my iPad4, it takes about 13 seconds to fully load and be ready for play. Despite the size, it loads pretty quickly.
It’s for iPad, or iPhone, and although they say you need at least an iPhone 5 or an iPad 4 to run it, it also runs quite fine on my ancient iPhone 4S as well. It’s a sampled piano, weighing in at a hefty 837 MB. The answer is here now in two very different apps, both of which are marked by UVIs high sense of quality and value. I wondered what they would do, especially with making elements of their amazing and deep sample libraries available to the world of tablets. When I first heard that Parisian sample-and-software-meisters UVI was entering the iOS market, I was excited. An amazing sampled piano and a pretty fully featured music production powerhouse mark UVIs entry into the iOS platform.
