Ratings and Reviews
Stort potentiale, Fin lyd, ustabil, dårlig respons.
Lyden er ganske fin men desværre er appen ret ustabil, forvirrende og virker lidt mere som et aftenskole hygge projekt end et stykke software til den pris.
Der er stor forskel på respons når du bruger sustain pedal hvilket gør at hvis du spiller meget fint kommer der ingen lyd ud. Dette gør at du skal hamre ekstra hårdt på klaveret, men velocitets kurven har en fast midter akse hvilket gør at du ikke kan modvirke den hårde lyd. Dette punkt gør desværre appen helt ubrugelig hvis du har et keyboard eller digitalt klaver med variable velocitet.
Effekterne crasher ret tit og ender med at sende meget høj statisk støj ud (pas på ørene). Der er endda en dedikeret ‘panik’ knap til når den går amok.
Du kan ikke styre falloff på reverb, så hvis du spiller mere end en tangent ad gangen kommer det til at lyde udvasket.
Efter at have betalt for et klaver var det meget svært at hente det og jeg måtte geninstallere appen to gange for at få det til at virke.
Der er et stort potentiale i denne app, men den nuværende version efterlader lidt for mange fejl og mangler til den kan anbefales.
