Previous issues resolved. But requesting Balance control
Coyote-1
Everything is as awesome as I’ve previously stated… except a bug has reared its head. If you keep the sustain pedal depressed for some seconds and done some busy playing, when you hit 510 active voices the volume of newly played notes becomes significantly lower. This happens even if you are running multi-core.EDIT: issue resolved. It was deep in my midi configuration.That said, it would be awesome if the app included a Balance control. Either in each individual Zone (ideal), or in the Master out section. There are many instances where running this app into one channel, and a different music instrument app into the other, would be a godsend.
Great App but Not Fully Reliable
TheJoaquinDad
This app provides a stellar steinway sound, and a great UI for a gigging musician. It is almost a perfect app, except that there seems to be polyphony issues when playing consistently for more than a few minutes and notes start to drop out. Because the MIDI Panic button is hidden in the settings, it makes this app not perfect yet for gigging. Ideally we’d be able to adjust the polyphony setting ourselves to avoid this note dropout. Additionally, there are some noise issues with the string resonance that you have to solve by increasing the buffer size to an unusable delay. It would be great to see this improve.All that being said, I really hope Studiologic keeps working on this app and maybe down the road we see IAPs for additional SL sounds that we see on their Numa Piano series.
Excellently stable

Compared to many of the other virtual instruments I use with GarageBand, this one is the most stable by far. There was only one instance ever where it has acted up on me, and that appears to been patched as it was about 7-8 months ago minimum when it glitched and hasn’t happened since.This is also excellent if you want to put bits of music on multiple instruments to make cool timbres that otherwise aren’t really possible. Just trust me. This plugin is awesome.
Free is a good thing, but you get what you pay for
GuitarUniverse
This is, thus far, a very interesting approach to generating music on ISO devices. Now admittedly, I’m just getting into it but I’m using it as a standalone unit right now and maybe that’s the problem. Because when I hit the keyboard button so I can hear, what I’m doing as I program and make changes with the different effects, every time I example or change level, the keyboard disappears. So I have to go to the pulldown menu and the keyboard to come back. God, what a pain! So I’ll use it inside GarageBand iOS and see if the problem remains and get back to everybody.
