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, there’s a host of flexible tuning options for when you need them. The stretched, concert piano tuning is how a piano technician would tune the piano for concerts in order to achieve rich tonal chord textures across the entire range. The equal temperament tuning on the other hand is the standard western tuning scheme, best for when layering Pure Piano with other sounds like electric pianos, pads or strings. Also provided is the ability to transpose the piano up or down in either semi-tones or Hz for fine-tune adjustments. Pure Piano is designed and developed by Hamburg-based e-instruments, renowned for their high-end digital recreations of acoustic instruments.

What’s New
- If buffer size and/or sampling rate are changed due to app-switching, these changes will be mirrored in the settings dialogue - 64 sample buffer size now available. Please note that very low buffer sizes are more CPU intensive and could potentially cause audio dropouts depending on your device and CPU consumption -New external audio devices are automatically recognized and shown in the settings popover - Instead of “Audio Device” the settings menu now shows the name of the “Audio Output” (“Speaker”, “Headphones” or the name of an attached audio-hardware device). - Optimised note-release handling - Optimised reverse articulation - Bug fix: Fixed issue with Morph Pad cursor locking up in the AUv3 - Bug fix: Fixed Morph Pad Editor background image size - Sustain switch is now animated - Fixed a graphic error in the Morph Pad which occurred on iPhone 13

    Slow to Load/Hard to integrate in DAW

    Sounds great but…
    I really like the realistic sound. I like being able to hear mechanical movement emulation. This makes it slightly better than Ravenc in my opinion. Unfortunately I don’t see a choice to enable it to continue in the background. This is a pain because I can’t just open another program that displays my music or lessons. I have to open a third party app such as a daw to keep the keyboard and sound going. Show more

    On-screen keyboard is too small
    My fingers are too big for the on-screen keyboard. I wish this app had a way to zoom in as needed to emulate true size of piano keys. The screen controls take up the left and right side of the screen when this space can be used to increase the size of the keyboard. I mainly purchased this app as an alternative to try out some music while I am away from my keyboard, but I’m afraid that the keys are just to small for my hands and makes it hard to practice.

    Pure and creatively impure
    I have and enjoy both the Korg (with Ivory IAP) and Ravenscroft 275 which are both very, VERY good pianos for iOS. I just added Pure Piano to my iPhone and the basic (Pure) piano is itself superior in my ears to these other powerhouses. Alone it’s worth getting the app. Then the morphing capabilities on top of that are just stellar! I was able to create a specific version for one unique application and save it as a user version and can see doing this in 3 scenarios which I will do to serve 3 specific situations (stereo via Demer box, mono in Bose L1 situation and stereo in a pair of Bose L1s). I’ve had my eye on this app for a while and noticed in March (2022) it is on sale for 50% off! GET THIS NOW!!! You won’t be sorry!!! Wish I could give this 10 stars! Show more

    Excellence
    This is an excellent virtual instrument with features not found on any other iOS piano. Though it is not the only IOS piano I use, there are none better… only different. On sale it is an incomprehensible value, but even at full price it is invaluable and an incredible bargain.. I would suggest string resonance be on the short list of improvements. Thanks for such a great tool. Show more

    Nothing better
    I use this piano for all my recordings because it has one of the most natural sounding pianos I’ve heard
