Pianoteq 8 is on iOS! iPhone & iPad!! 🔥 🎹 🤯

[@MobileMusicPro]

"I think that this day will probably be a culture shift towards iOS." Love it! The next few years are going to be incredible for iOS music production.

[@emiel333]

Agree! Q4 2024 or Q1/Q2 2025 will be exciting for iPad Pro users. Yes, it’s ahead in the future, but it will give us a specific music application we’ve been waiting for!

[@iPadBeatMaking]

Agreed! Exciting times ahead!

[@jerzboybeats]

@MobileMusicpro what’s up Vortex. Miss my iOS family. I’ll be able to catch you guys next month.

[@MobileMusicPro]

@@jerzboybeats Hey hey bro we miss you too! You always welcome :)

[@robertmac71]

Just bought it. Standard 8 gives you 3 licenses for 3 different computers and or devices. License covers both iOS version for iPad and desktop version for PC and Mac. Been using it for years. 8 is a great upgrade. 1 year of free app or software updates.

[@echo_opera]

Such a beautiful sounding Piano. Thanks for the quality video as always.

[@iPadBeatMaking]

Yes!! Thanks 🙏

I have Pianoteq iOS working fairly well with an iPad 7 connected to my Casio S7000 Digital piano via USB host to lightning and then using the headphone jack for the best listening experience with minimal latency. Performance hovered between 40 and 70. Trying to connect using a bluetooth midi module was a disaster, the latency was so bad it made Pianoteq unusable. I can’t see how anyone could have a nice experience running Pianoteq on normal iPads that don’t have a headphone socket e.g. ipad 10. To the best of my knowledge, people would be limited to iPads 7th -9th generation or iPad Pros / airs that have headphone sockets. Something to be mindful of. Playing pianoteq through ipad speakers is underwhelming to say the least and using bluetooth earphones the latency will probably be noticeably bad.

[@iPadBeatMaking]

Thanks for the update! What Bluetooth midi module did u use? With mine I’m able to get great low latency performance

[@akalcov]

@@iPadBeatMaking Casio WU-BT10 that comes with the Privia. Which do you have?

[@iPadBeatMaking]

Yamaha Bluetooth midi adapter

[@akalcov]

@@iPadBeatMaking UDBT01?

[@iPadBeatMaking]

Yup I think that’s the one

[@jonathanosborn4800]

DO you think iPHONE 10 is up to the task, or if one is wanting to use an iPhone for music, should one really get something beefier?

[@hardonabeat]

That’s pretty dope! I was just looking into what is the best piano vst’s out there.

[@iPadBeatMaking]

This one!!

[@GFhornet]

There is no comparison with any other ios pianos... This is new Era of ios instruments.

[@iPadBeatMaking]

Absolutely!! It’s incredible times!!

[@jorjajorjan3863]

Is it possible to connect this from an iphone/ipad to a keyboard with Bluetooth compatibility such as roland fp30 and listen the sound of pianoteq while playing through the built in keyboard speakers? Thanks.

[@liothomasart]

THE SIZE!!!! folks... The size!!! Mind-blowing! 🤯

[@MeTuLHeD]

That's because it's not sample based. Modeling. The same tech that Line 6, Neural DSP, etc have used for years to emulate guitar amps and effects.

[@filipilif]

@@MeTuLHeD this is still really impressive given the capabilities. To provide some context - Spotify app alone is 135MB and it's "merely" a streaming app

[@ninobeatz_iOS]

LETS GO 🚀🚀🚀🚀

[@iPadBeatMaking]

Ayyyeee 💪👌

[@bjamminsincebirth3494]

This is a monumental day! This is gonna be the best!

[@iPadBeatMaking]

Yes!!!

[@barmeliton]

What about latency?

[@geoffk777]

I've used PianoTeq for many years on PC, and it's always been one of the best piano apps in this very competative market. Up till now, RavensCroft and Pure Piano were the best IOS piano apps, but neither was as good as the best VSTs. So this is a huge win for IOS. As for the price, it's expensive, but in line with Pro apps like B-3X and Synergy. Top-class applications are expensive, and many VST apps are far more than this. Getting the PC or Mac version for free is a big bonus too. This is great news!

[@iPadBeatMaking]

I agree 💯!!! How efficient is it for you on PC and on iPad? How many instances are u able to run?

[@geoffk777]

@@iPadBeatMaking I haven't really maxed it out on either platform, but on both platforms, it seems to use very few resources or CPU. It's much more efficient than sample-based pianos or many synth apps.

[@iPadBeatMaking]

That’s great news! I’m hoping to be able to run a lot of instances stress free

[@GospelMusic4Life]

😮 I was back to the drawing board last night with trying to figure out a comfortable iOS live gig setup. I was hoping for more modeling apps on iOS. I have B3x and VB3m. I never picked up some of the other apps because I had certain apps. I think I’m going to pick this one up.

[@iPadBeatMaking]

Please let us know what u decide to do! Also, for other modeled iOS apps…Audio modeling has a lot of apps in their Swam collection and VTines is also a modeled Electric Piano/Tines.

[@krazywabbit]

As an amateur hobbyist, my wallet and I have no business messing with this. Leave it for the pros and I will keep messing around with my $5 piano apps.

[@SonicVibe]

Agreed

[@robertkennethwatson]

Needed to read this ❤

[@iPadBeatMaking]

Nothing wrong with that at all!

[@GFhornet]

I have it on pc. I tried the ios on the iPad 8. Everything is there: Half pedaling, aftertouch, 256 polyphony, ultra low latency, velocities... all there with same quality.

[@iPadBeatMaking]

It’s a really incredible app! What packs do u have?

[@GFhornet]

@iPad Beat Making I have the stage with instruments: Steinway D, Steinway B, C.Bechstein, Petrof, YC5, U4, electric pianos. I love all of them (U4 too).

[@iPadBeatMaking]

That’s a great collection! You ever thought about upgrading to standard or pro? Or going all out for studio?

[@timothyjohnson7971]

how the hell you supposed to hook up the midi keyboard to the iphone???

[@iPadBeatMaking]

CCK adapter or via Bluetooth with one like the Xkey air or with a Bluetooth adapter like a Widi or the one Yamaha makes

[@TrollMeister_]

The newer DPs do midi over Bluetooth. My Roland FP 30x for example connects to my iPad via bluetooth and puts out sound via iPad usb

[@RSMoreno]

Question for anybody: First, I have a recent iPad Pro and a Kawai VPC midi keyboard and 2 PA monitors w/1/4” balanced inputs.. I don’t want to use a PC but am interested in Pianoteq and I don’t play other instruments or sing. What is a good hardware solution (interface or whatever) given my current gear? Thanks for anybody’s help!

[@filipilif]

Any USB-C hub with USB ports and a headphone jack. If you insist on using an audio interface, literally any device from a reputable brand will do

[@ninjaface3]

If you have a 5 pin midi out which it sounds like you do on that keyboard I would consider something like the WIDI Master device. It’s Bluetooth midi I have one and use it with PianoTeq and other apps on the IPad Pro. I love it.

[@kjothar]

I have hooked my iPad to my Steinberg UR22C connected to my Korg D1 and external loudspeakers and all works astonishingly well. The only problem is to provide the iPad with power since the usb-c is feeding the Steinberg. I wish to find a solution for that.

[@iPadBeatMaking]

A hub with passthru charging should do the trick

[@OCTACHRON_iOS_Drum_Sequencer]

Oh yes, seems really nice! 🙂

[@MeerkatMuzic]

Sweet

[@iPadBeatMaking]

Yes!!

[@lyomon9981]

Ipads space is at a premium cuz they a bunch of bchs Why couldnt we add a micro sd ? Or why cant i add emulators or pirated stuff ? Legal or not its my device tho lmao Nice video btw

[@TheOverlordOfProcrastination]

I went to buy the Classical Guitar but found out you need to buy the Stage Licence before you can buy individual instruments. Over £100!!!!… I just burst out laughing. They have to be kidding. Needless to say, I moved on to other apps.

[@iPadBeatMaking]

Well u get 2 packs with that $130 so you wouldn’t need to buy them in addition.

[@johannesmaierhofer5001]

I feel like this is the mentality that keeps big developers from porting their plugins to iOS. You just can’t expect to pay 5 bucks for professional Software. Ask anybody who’s serious about producing and they will all have spent hundreds and thousands of dollars on plugins. This is professional software where they just made it possible to use your license on an iPad as well as desktop now. So how is that not the best one could hope for, and why should it be cheaper on iPad than it is for desktop.

[@iPadBeatMaking]

💯

[@TheOverlordOfProcrastination]

@@johannesmaierhofer5001 dear boy.

[@TheOverlordOfProcrastination]

@@systemai having to pay for the privilege of buying instruments seems a stretch to me. Forcing you to buy two instruments when you only want one is a pernicious business practice.

[@edrumsense]

The best, yet too expensive... I don't want to pay for all OS versions. I wish there was a license only for iOS... they are charging us for a single licence for EVERY OS out there

[@johannesmaierhofer5001]

Well if you’re getting this for desktop you have to pay the same price. I don’t understand why people expect it to be cheaper on iPad lol. Getting to use your license on multiple platforms is just a nice bonus ;)

[@angusbabb4913]

they are doing it RIGHT !! charging the regular amount that you can use on ALL platforms , this is a professional top the the range software .. they are not gonna give it away for $5 just cos its on iPad

[@jerzboybeats]

Say what ???!!!!!!

[@iPadBeatMaking]

Yes!!! It’s here!!

[@burn1gotbeats]

S/O to everyone who has been hip to IOS production 🫡💯.
