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.
