What a nice review! I learned so much out of it. Thank you very much, Fausto! P.S. Pianoteq has a new release (8.3) which includes a new piano - the Viennese Bösendorfer VC 290.

I have Pianoteq with 4 pianos (Steinway, Petrof, Grotrian and K2) and am super happy with it. The electric pianos are as well awesome. All that thanks to the great reviews of Fausto. P.S. there is a new iPad Air for around 700 Euro (some are sending it even for 650) with Apple M2 chip and 128 GB memory - really powerful version for a good price.

Glad I could help! And thanks for the iPad air suggestion, it seems like a good alternative to the more expensive Pro version, although I would not go for 128 GB if you are serious about iOS.

pianoteq is playable but for whatever reason is lacking in tone. I've heard it sound great from others but mine always sounds thin. glad to hear you support Raven as it just always feels good and sings both softly and quietly, so I'm not crazy! 😂
@FaustoFerreira2 ай бұрын
pianoteq is modeled. Years ago it sounded synthetic, now it's very close to perfect. Every update makes it a little bit better, even the new update for version 8 is subtle but meaningfull. Baby steps. Ravenscroft is still the best sample based piano for iOS. I just miss the extra GB and fuctionality that we have on PC, and the gap is closing, comparing the competition
@LFD-zb8to2 ай бұрын
I agree. I have Ravenscroft and it is the only thing I will play. I have the Piano tech demo but just can't get it to sound as good as R275 no matter how much I tweak it....
@FaustoFerreira2 ай бұрын
The best physical model against the best hybrid sampling available: sampling sounds real ( it is real ), but lacks in expressiveness. Physical modelling sounds synthetic ( it is synthetic ) but gives you the most possible expressiveness in a digital system. Both aproaches are closing the gap nowadays.

Dear Fausto, which MIDI controller are you playing in the video ? It's so capable to get your dynamic and has a perfect velocity curve and details.... ? Surprising !
@FaustoFerreira2 ай бұрын
I entered the store with the idea of spending 3000€ on a Nord Stage or Grand, but something didn't feel right on the keys. But then I tryed the Numa X 88. had my ipad with me. Straight out of the box it felt perfect with ravenscroft, default velo curves. It feels even better with pianoteq. No need to adjust anything. Yes, surprising, cause I'm picky about my keys

What is the exact model of your Ipad? In Pianoteq, what's the buffer size and max polyphony? What's your average performance index? Thank you for the video, very interesting
@FaustoFerreira27 күн бұрын
Pianoteq even worked on an old iPad mini 4, although with a higher buffer size, and latency. With iPad pro M2, 1T, 16 Gb ram, it performs flawlessely, even with 128 polyphony, at 256 buffer. That is inside a Daw or a host like Camelot, with a lot other things going on. Buffer 128 works the same, no difference at all. By default I allways use 256, there's no noticeable latency and it is safer. On iPad pro 2018, 1T, 6Gb, it performs the same, although with less room or other tracks or instruments at the same time.

Why don’t you use SL grand Studiologic instead of Numa X, since a Studiologic Specialist sad that it has the same keys of GT, with is the top? itamirbarros Have ever tried Numa GT or SL grand? How do you compare the X keys with them?

@@pianobis777 Here you have my review about the Numa X 88 kzfaq.info/get/bejne/msx4Z9SaqN2nn4U.htmlsi=SZqf_nG-UEYUzwcg But for a short answer, here it goes: weight ( 14 kgs vs 20 kgs ), usb audio and the keys on Numa X just works for me. It is personall choice and subjective. Also, the SL grand uses the TP40 wood, which I don't like, while the Numa X GT uses the new TP400 wood, which is very good, but the weight rises to a back breaking 22 kgs. 30 years in the business destroying my back and my fingers, Numa X 88 ( with iPad runing Pianoteq and other goodies) and Nord Stage compact just saved me.

Hi. What is with latency,is have in IOS?? I have Ipad 6 (2018). Can I will use Korg module ? Thanks.
@FaustoFerreiraАй бұрын
Hi. Never had any issues with latency, since iPad 2, when Android was impossible to use for performance purposes. I'm very sensitive to latency, that's why iOS was and still is my only choice. iPad Pro 2018 can still handle a full production with 70 plus teacks. The 2018 regular iPad is sure able to handle Korg Module, and some other apps simultaneously.

Thanks 👍. Is it possible that iOS has a completely different sound design and architecture? interesting. Android and pure windows don't get sound like that.
@FaustoFerreiraАй бұрын
Yes they work differently. The closed system from Apple has a big advantage here. Every part of the hardware and the OS are designed to work together. Android and windows have to deal with severall layers of software and deal with different components from device ro device.
