Description

Pianist, the ORIGINAL iPhone piano, turns Professional in an all new iPad-only app with photo-realistic graphics and an unbelievable sound.

Pianist Pro is a virtual piano designed specifically for the iPad, with the same great interface and style that has made Pianist the best known piano on the iPhone, and a whole host of new features too.

Containing the full 88 keys of a pr... Read Moreofessionally sampled piano with configurable soft and sustain pedals, up to 10 keys can be pressed at once and react to the touch just like a real piano. Choose between single or dual keyboards with a configurable key size, scrolling each keyboard key-by-key, jumping octaves, or tapping on a keyboard map to jump straight to an area of the keyboard.

For those days when a piano is not enough, alternative instruments are available within the app including organs, synths and guitars - all of which can be recorded and overdubbed to provide a 'Musical Scratchpad' for musicians away from the studio, as well as a live performance tool.

A built-in arpeggiator allows the user to create perfectly timed runs just by holding down a few keys, and complex patterns of notes and chords can be programmed into the arpeggiator and played back live. Pianist Pro makes it easy to play shuffle-beat blues piano, complete with walking bassline and overlayed jazz chords - all by simply holding down a single chord. Changing the chord changes the melody but maintains the tight rhythm provided by the arpeggiator.

Another new addition to Pianist Pro is the 'Scale Piano'. This allows the user to select a musical scale from a large choice of presets (eg. Natural Minor or Pentatonic Blues) or define their own scales from scratch. Notes and runs on that scale can then be played back in any key, simply by sliding a finger up and down a virtual touch-pad on-screen.

A pitch bend / modulation wheel and swell pedal can be enabled which not only change the sound of the instrument and can be recorded live into a track, but also respond to the touch visually in a perfect emulation of physical controls. A modulation control adds vibrato to organs and controls filter cutoff on the synths for added expression in your performances.

A built-in drum machine offers an elegantly simple interface for adding rhythm, with a choice of drum kits to suit a range of musical styles. While a delay effect can be used to bring energy and interest to a synth bassline, or guitar or piano riff.

The original iPhone Pianist was listed in the iTunes Top 100 Paid Apps for 2008, has been featured in a number of Apple advertising campaigns, has been recommended by such media sources as Fox News and The Mail On Sunday, and recently was listed in Sound On Sound's Top 20 Apps and T3 Magazine's Top 100 Apps.

Now, only available on the iPad, Pianist Pro takes Pianist to a whole new level of power, usability, and fun.

Pianist Pro 1.5 for the iPad adds MIDI Mobilizer support from Line 6

Mon, 13 Sep 2010 21:00:00 UTC +00:00

TUAW - The Unofficial Apple Weblog

From MooCowMusic comes the latest iteration of their renowned iPad app, Pianist Pro 1.5 (£5.99). Most notably, Pianist Pro now incorporates the MIDI Mobilizer technology from Line 6, enabling Pianist Pro on your iPad, with the Line 6 MIDI Mobilizer adapter (£45) or wirelessly over Wi-Fi, to be used as a MIDI controller as well as connecting with your existing MIDI devices and your DAW. Pianist Pro has been extended further to work seamlessly with MIDI. Two of Its best features, the programmable arpeggiator and the Scale Piano (allowing for scales to be soloed with the swipe of a finger), are both now MIDI compatible, making the functionality of these features applicable to other MIDI devices. Pianist Pro becomes more than just a passive keyboard. The built-in sampled sounds can also be used with an external MIDI hardware device or DAW, allowing Pianist Pro to become a sound source in itself Read More

Phone Smart - Apps Stoke a Music Fan’s Fancy - NYTimes.com

The New York Times - Breaking News, World News & Multimedia

The big knock against smartphones, iPods and iPads is that no one really needs one. There is no question you can get by without any of the nearly 300,000 mobile apps on the market. But if you ever felt the need to express yourself with music, and you test out some of the better apps, your definition of “need” may quickly wither. Tricked out with apps like Glee ($1), Band ($4), Bebot ($2) and others, the iPhone is history’s most versatile music creation device. The iPad offers a different and, in many ways, expanded dimension to the iPhone’s musical abilities, with apps like Magic Piano ($1), Air Harp ($2), Xewton Music Studio ($15) and Korg’s iElectribe ($10). And although users of other types of mobile phones, like the Android and the BlackBerry, are so far without these particular apps, they can still find a few decent ones to help tap into Read More

abr 22 A DJ americana Rana Sobhany demonstrou como é possível economizar com instrumentos de remixagem, somente com a ajuda de dois iPads e alguns aplicativos dedicados. Tudo isso sem perder a qualidade profissional. Apesar de não ter nem um mês do lançamento do tablet, já existem muito bons títulos na App Store voltados à profissão.

Phone Smart - Apps Can Turn iPad Into a Useful Companion - NYTimes.com Wed, 07 Apr 2010 00:00:00 UTC +00:00 The New York Times - Breaking News, World News & Multimedia Let’s set aside the question of whether you should get an iPad and suppose you already bought one last weekend. You probably floated home and loaded it with a few whiz-bang apps and maybe even passed it around to your friends. At some point in all the euphoria, you may also have wondered whether this device is just a trophy or something you can actually use. Such self-doubts can be easily cast aside, providing you delve a little more deeply into the App Store than the Top 100 list — and are ready to open the wallet again. If you budget around $100 for a few new and upgraded apps, you can easily make the iPad into much more of a constant companion than something you just trot out when the neighbors are watching. Start with productivity apps, because a mobile device is most valuable when it lets you work anytime, Read More

Reviews I don't have enough fingers..... J.R. Morgan Version: 1.0 The application works extremely well. Much nicer than any of the piano apps I have purchased for my iPhone. Supports 10 (maybe 11? I don't have enough fingers to tell) multi-touch, so I can use both hands! The only complaint I have currently is with the white keys. The touch area to play the white keys is limited to only the lower area, so you cannot play white keys up between the black keys. This makes it EXTREMELY difficult to play a lot of chords because I can't get all four of five fingers on one hand to press all the white keys I need only in the lower area. This is a huge thing on real pianos, and they claim they want the experience to be as realistic as possible, so I am extremely disappointed it was designed this way. I would greatly appreciate if they could update the app to fix this issue. Great craft Raremoon Version: 1.0 Thanks, great app. Smooth, neat. Great if you're on the go! jonvanoss Version: 1.0 This is a stellar app for the musician on the go, whether you're in a coffee shop or on a car or bus trip. Motivation and musical ideas can come any time and anywhere and this app guarantees you'll have a way to realize your ideas and even record and export them to iTunes. The built in recorder works great and the instruments sound pretty good. All in all, there's a pretty good amount of tweak ability. I'm really excited to have it in my musical arsenal!
