Beautiful Dreamer, wake unto me Starlight and dewdrops are waiting for thee Sounds of the rude world heard in the day Lull'd by the moonlight have all passed away --- I sang this back in the high school music class
Three things that people don't realise. 1, you can take the lid off completely by double clicking the lid top, gives a more expansive sound. 2, by taking some of the wet out of the reverb 'mix' you really start to hear the piano itself. 3. You can create a random piano by left or right clicking in the top console.
Yes, it is indeed an amazing achievement. I think it is only possible due to the higher performing iOS devices, even my 1st gen iPad Pro 9.7 inch hung in there. The audio issue is a bit tricky as I was taking the audio from an HDMI splitter as the Lightning Port only allowed me to connect the HDMI out, so running that to a splitter to get the audio output. I am very happy to say however, that I found a Lighning multidock which allows me to have not only HDMI out but two USB ports that let me connect an interface (iRIG Quattro). I can tell you this has made a huge difference. I am hoping to follow up with more soon. Thanks as always for the kind support. Joyfully yours!
This is really fantastic, thank you. Truly gorgeous-sounding instrument. If I may ask, because this would definitely necessitate a three-pedal setup… I have a relatively simple midi controller keyboard with one sustain pedal jack, and I thought maybe there might be a usb or Bluetooth triple pedal but I’m not having any luck finding anything. Are you aware of anything like that?
It is my pleasure. Ooo a triple pedal Bluetooth controller, that sounds very interesting. So this is a hard one in a way as each pedal is its own MIDI controller, sending out different MIDI CC messages. So, a crazy idea would be to use one of the AirTurn Bluetooth control pedals and modify it in such a way that each footswitch could be routed to the actual larger pedal. You could then configure the AirTurn to send the MIDI messages that correspond to the individual pedals. I think you have given me an idea for a project!!!
Ios updates too often breaking things, but this is still cool. What i would like is a hybrid modeled plus sampled piano for the best of both worlds. Nicely plaid. Ioads well equipped cost as much as laptops now. Would be nice if the bring back aux headphone out.hopefully you will be able to buy logic oro instead of subscribe forever$$$$$ Making the computer version cheaoer after a few years.
One of those ground loop USB B adapters that comes with the arturia keyboards might stop that ground noise on the iPad headphone jack. It works on mine. You will need to power going to the adapter. I plugged the one side into my USB B port on my keyboard and used the A port on my keyboard to power it. The iPad headphone jack then in the keyboard aux in. If I don’t use the ground loop I get the same noise.
Thanks for the tip. I found that a lot of the RF was actually coming from my Ooma internet phone interface. I did a short follow up in my last livestream. I will definitely look into the USB ground loop connection. Appreciate the support. Joyfully!
Just downloaded IOS Ravenscroft in M1 iPad and got disappointed as the performance/quality is limited by the sampling rate and audio buffer size. This modelling approach piano app excites me but much more expensive. For the best value of money, which in-app purchase package should I pay for the use of church band with 200 people capacity?
Hi Sir ,I deeply appreciate for this awesome video. My question is how do you keep the sound kinda back,like i can feel that it is not that much close that I can't do on my ipad.May be i use the screen instead of a midi.
I am using a Studiologic SL88:Grand along with the CME-PRO Widimaster Bluetooth MIDI adapter. The iPad is receiving the Bluetooth MIDI as the input. Here is a link to the adapter: www.cme-pro.com/widi-master/ Thanks so much for watching.
I think it had something to do with me taking the audio out of the HDMI splitter. I have since found a MUCH better solution and will share the details soon. Joyfully!
David, it is my pleasure. I am using MIDIculous PRO from Gospel Musicians. It is such a helpful tool that does a lot beyond the virtual keyboard and chord recognition. I have a link in the video description for more information. Thanks so much for watching. Joyfully.
with the Mac, I usually connect by USB to the audio interface box, and then a 3 feet, 1/4 inch balanced cable to my Yamaha HS8... with the iPad do I use 3.5mm (1/8 inch) output and convert that to two mono and plug into the Yamaha HS8? Can I use the USB-C output or the lightning output on the iPhone too?
Maxime, Pianoteq is basically the desktop version ported over to the iOS platform. What that means is you are getting a very detailed set of instruments that provide so many dynamic options. I do appreciate the other pianos for iOS, like the Ravenscroft and the Pianos from eInstruments (ie Pure Piano), but these are sample based so in the case of Pure Piano you are limited to the number of dynamic sample layers as well as the number of samples used to cover the keyboard range. On an iOS device this type of instrument has to come with some compromises to handle iPad memory and overall performance. I have the 1st gen iPad Pro 9.7 inch and it is limited in regards to the system RAM, so you are not able to load up a large sample based instrument due to the lack of available memory. The newer iPad Pros have much more system RAM and increased performance which will allow you to do so much more. Seeing Apple move Logic Pro and Final Cut Pro over to the iPad is a big deal as now the iPad becomes more of a portable desktop or even laptop replacement in many respects, although the jury is still out on the subscription model which I personally am not a big fan of. There is much more on the horizon and I can't wait to share more iPad instruments in the future and revisiting some that are already available so stay tuned! Joyfully!
Can Pianoteq sounds work without having the Pianoteq program screen opened up on your iPad? I'm only interested in toggling between a great piano sound and a Rhodes sound while having Forescore opened up to read scores for live gigs. You also mentioned Pianoteq live vs. Pianoteq Pro. I'm assumming Pianoteq live is all I would need to accomplish this on gigs. Anyone can answer if you know.
@PraiseTracks Someone commented on a different video that Pianoteq can run as a background program. Apparently there is a setting in Pianoteq to accomplish this. Definitely an important feature and makes sense that they would make sure that would work as the majority of gigging musicians would want access to their music on iPad. I see this as a game changer as I have never liked the sound of any piano or Rhodes sound produced from a keyboard. Thank you for making a review as your video that made me realize this is possible now from my iPad.
So, the p125 does not have a dedicated MIDI 5pin out connector BUT, you can use the new WIDI UHost from CME that will allow you to connect the USB out to the box to create a wireless Bluetooth connection. There are several cable variations you can use depending on the type of USB your particular keyboard has , and I do see one of the "square" USB connections to USB C cables there so it is possible. Here is more information for you to check out. Joyfully! www.cme-pro.com/widi-uhost/
