Great comparison. Thank you Doug.

Good timing! I have "favorited" all the keys in Halion and played each one. Now I'm going to go through all the others I have in my other apps. I'm testing Korg Nanokey Studio with each of these.

[@Elwaves2925]

Great comparison. The only one I have is the demo for Pianoteq (which is still very usable and worth it) but you can't really go wrong with any of these. It's all down to price and what you can pay.

[@dr.rabbitfoot7421]

Can you use it as auv3 without spending that amount of money?

[@Elwaves2925]

@@dr.rabbitfoot7421 Yes. I think you get about 20 mins of demo (or something like that) but that's for each session. I haven't tested if that refreshes when you restart the app or the iPad but it's still generous. I've used two of the presets to recreate well known covers and had no issues with it recreating the full songs.

[@deadpoetlive]

yes, on a renewable timer and some outer black keys silenced as per non auv use. you can also turn on/off sustain pedal on screen which you can't with pure piano as auv3 @@dr.rabbitfoot7421

I have Pure Upright and that’s pretty much it on iOS. However, there’s a great deal on Boz Digital Labs ‘New York’ plug-ins atm- I’ve got the 1926 version and it sounds great. $19 I believe it was- and still is…

[@3d-illusions]

I love the sound of the casio px-s1000's inbuilt piano. Trying to find a vst version, and if not I think I'll just buy a £50 external audio interface and feed it in via line in.

[@kamranhamidfar1725]

I have PXS1000 and 1100. Just piano plugins sound amazing.

[@geoffk777]

Top my ears PianoTeq is by far the best, but it's also the most expensive. Ravenscroft was my goto before PianoTeq and it's still quite good. PurePiano lacks sustain and is disappointing. Ivory is also usable, but just OK. I don't own the first one played, so I'll have to check it out. It seems comparable to Ravenscroft, but with more models and effects, so it might beva good choice.

[@ColinPowell_AMultitudeofOne]

They do all sound like pianos! 😉

[@TornetSvensson]

Where to buy?

[@dr.rabbitfoot7421]

What do you look for when listening to a “straight piano”

[@carro2803]

Hi! What speakers are you using and are you pleased with them? Thanks!

[@jurav635]

Can you run the app while you read sheet music?

[@f800ssss9]

Are there any iOS AUv3 that sample or emulate a Fazioli piano?

[@davidosolo]

Nice pianos but for the moment I will stay with the Kalimba. Hurt my wallet a lot less. 😉
