Audiobus: Use your music apps together.

Colossus Piano
Would like to hear some observations good or bad on any of the three pianos from the upright( mostly interested in) to the grand daddy of them all
Comments
Too expensive for my blood and too many gigabytes... But the upcoming E-Piano sound set will be hard to resist and they tweeted it'll be affordable - I hope that means a lot less than the Colossus Concert Grand. I've been waiting for a quality sampled electric piano AU.

I have the Colossus grand piano.. I initially balked at the price but I can tell you that it's worth every cent. The detail, resonance samples, etc. Just brilliant
@firejan82 : I wasn't aware of the upcoming electric piano set.
Thanks for responding to this thread. Yup I saw on Crudebytes twitter mention of an update( affordable!) so I've been waiting to see what's on offer. So it looks like some electrics coming soon. I have iGrand, CMP Piano
Including the Bechstein grand and other quite good pianos in other apps. Very tempted by any of the pianos on offer right now. But sometimes I think maybe it would be better to just properly mic my real piano and get it all there in a take
I'm sure it is. I saw a video of you tickling the ivories in a music shop..very nice indeed so I trust your assessment of Colossus. At the moment it's $69.99 Canadian so I'm on that fence we all from time to time sit on but I'm also quite curious to see their electric piano offerings too
I'd definitely get the EP's...any ETA?
The image of the eightyeight electric was posted on their twitter within the last hour but no specific release date....soon let's hope
If you don't mind me asking but did you buy the white grand and upright pianos too,and if so what's your take on them?
Thanks for your kind words and no, I bought the big brown one.. You can draw velocity curves right on the app. I just bought a Yamaha NP 32 and I can tell you that brown 14gig is in a class by yourself.. If you spend any time at all playing piano, you'll thank yourself every time you fire it up. I don't even like acoustic piano as much as I like a good Rhodes but this app makes me like it more .. Buy, buy, buy
Just what I like to hear! I love to play and compose at the piano so at the moment I'm off the fence.........
Have you tried this as an AU in GarageBand? That's where I would like to use it
Nope.. But I think it's AU compatible..
Here was my excuse for buying it:
I thought that every time I played piano on iOS, I would think about Collosus, where as if I bought it, eventually I'd forget about the $50.
Beer money
Demos sound great. With that engine Maybe they can become the Spectrasonics of iOS
What kind of beer do you drink?
Are there demos for the e-pianos?
Apologies, I meant demos for the Acoustic Pianos...I'm assuming if they can get these right they can get the e-pianos right as well,
Ok I thought I was missing something lol
Keep checking my updates for this app!
Developer just mentioned on twitter that it will be out in two weeks
ah thanks for the info can't wait! Should be exceptional
Damn! More than three weeks passed. These days it seems like estimating a release date for developers is harder than guessing the lottery numbers.
Yup the waiting is a killer
it's here
don't know how much it costs yet but there's a video
Just updated, tried downloading the sounds to hear the demos and there's no response from iTunes server
Same here, wanna know how much. My guess is 40 euro....
that is too much and at the same time optimistic since it's a pack of 5...
Kind of annoying but we'll give them a little bit of time to sort this out. Didn't they say a reasonable lower price for the e- pianos? If around 40 euro ....lets hope not, maybe they might have a sale on the pianos within the app too, who knows
Does sound very very good though!
Exciting...I'll download tonight after work
still nothing... I wonder if the developer is aware of the situation...
