The recently released pure upright gets me closer to this sound I have been looking for. The one in scaler 2 is also usable but IMHO not on the same level as Christian Henson's ones.Īfter trying most available piano app on iOS, I realized that the sound I am after is not the perfect grand, but on the opposite, I am looking for the imperfection of this old family upright I used to enjoy playing when I was a kid. But there are lots of other nice sounding felt Piano there too. I especially love The Claustrophobic and The Winter felt which I sometimes layer using the triple felt which can add this extra felt hammer attack feel. There are plenty of nice sounding ones there but I find myself always coming back to the same few: the ones sampled and mapped by Christian Henson himself (one of the men behind spitfire). IMO, the best sounding ones on iOS can be found on pianobook.

Oh well in German I now would say: Die Hoffnung stirbt said:Īnother felt Piano lover here. I guess we first need Logic to make a move for the others to join in They at least seem to show some interest by offering some of their stuff in Staffpad. I'm waiting a bit for Spitfire to join the party on iPad and (at least) offer their affordable stuff. But quite amazing considering that they're free. On iPad I tried out some of the Piano Book / Decent Sampler Pianos which sounded good to my ear but lack a little dynamic and consistency IMO. On my desktop I rather use some of the (cheapish) Spitfire Audio Originals pianos. The high frequency noise sounds quite artificial and instead of being like a soft white noise you can hear metallic sounding overtones. It muffles the pianos and tries to add that typical felt attack but that's where it fails mostly in my opinion. Yes I can confirm that the Pianoteq felt sounds a little off. I'm also a fan of that whole Klavins Una Corda / Nils Frahm vibe which takes that soft high frequency hammer attack / noise to the next level That's a nice example I also know felted upright pianos as being very warm/soft but with that subtle high freq attack.
