Ravenscroft 275 Piano 4+

I really like the sound quality made through this fine music app. There is only one thing lack: record and playback options. Please make these available in the future update.

I’m using this app on an iPhone 6S and love how quick it is to start up with only a cable to connect the midi via the lightning port and then the head phone jack out to speakers. The app has enough customisation settings to get the sound that you want without being over complicated. The sound of the piano is very clear and realistic but possibly lacking the warmth of a Steinway piano. You can always listen to samples online to see if the sound is to your liking. I also have the full version of the ravenscroft running on a Windows laptop with an external digital to analog converter. I rarely use this now because it takes ages to load up, has so many settings that it’s hard to settle on a good sound, and there’s lots of equipment and cables everywhere compared to just the iPhone. I haven’t done a close comparison of the sound quality between the two set ups but the difference is not immediately noticeable to me.
If you have a midi keyboard with on-board sounds that are a little tired or like my keyboard starting to crackly then this is a fantastic way of getting a top-notch piano sound without spending much money.

This is an excellent sampled piano which has all current audio connectivity AU, IAA and AB bases covered and a wonderful sound - All in a package of just under 1 GB (which would be closer to 6GB but for the lossless compression. It seems pretty stable so far and I love the sympathetic resonance of holding down a key until it stops ringing and hearing how other notes played interact in sound (piano players will understand me :) )-just like a real piano. If you are playing a midi piano keyboard and want the best this is it so far in my books. $55 in the Australian store might seem high but it's a steal compared to similar desktop plugins. Get it!
