Pianist Hack 1.9.2 + Redeem Codes

It should come as no surprise to anyone that in trying to shove a grand piano into a roughly 4 inch wide space, something is bound to be sacrificed. That said, I'm initially impressed by this program. For six dollars, amateur and professional alike can block out the next number one hit, including creating a skeleton with chords. This is a giant step up from what I used to have to do, which was carry around a mini tape recorder so that I could hum a few bars when I came up with something I liked. Now, I can tap out a few bars and hear it played back to me with a minimum amount of effort!

All that said, anyone looking to jam on their iPhone may find themselves a little disappointed. You only can fit one octave at a time on the screen, so it can be difficult to play more than a very basic number without having to perform some finger acrobatics. Also, I notice a bit of a lag, so this program is not suitable for creating performance quality music. On the other hand, for $5.99 it's an amazingly fun toy for kids and adults alike, and it opens up a tremendous amount of possibilities for the budding songwriter who finds him or herself with a few minutes of creative time while on the go. I truly recommend this program to anyone interested in playing and composing music. If the publisher can fix the lag issue and add an export feature, I can see this being the next Garageband.

I’m FLOORED that you updated this today☆ Thank you for caring enough to do so. I know you did an update in the past year, or two, but today’s update shows you really do care about this app. I’ve had this app since my iPhone3G back in 2009, and I’ve also put it on my iPhone4 (Twenty-10), iPhone5 (Twenty-12), and my iPhone6S+ (Twenty-15). I’ve been a student of David L Burge’s Perfect Pitch course since 1998, and I like to use your piano app to test my ear when tones and notes jump out at me in real life☆ I like the accuracy of the touch, even when using 15-key mode. The tone is so realistic for it to be coming from a phone. It really makes me wish I had a stereo iPhone7, but i’m still gonna wait a while since I still have the last of the headphone-jack iPhones.
Thank you so much.

The Pianist app is one of the better musical programs that I have seen for the Iphone and Ipod Touch. It is very basic and allows you to put together simple tunes on the fly. I just wish that it had a feature for actually seeing your notes after playing so that you can better edit them. Instead you are given the option of erasing last note, last five notes, last ten notes. The ability to scroll across the keyboard is nice considering the size of the Iphone/Ipod Touch's screen. It would be nice if there was an option to make the keys a little smaller so that you can get to those notes that are out of range of the screen. Over all this is a good, simple program for recording and playing piano.

I don't play any instruments but this was too cool too pass up, a full 88 key piano on your iPod. It sounds fine to me and even the keys seem to have a nice "feel". I had to try this app on the iPod's touch interface and it does feel even better than I expected. I'm a guy I usually wear a size large glove and the key spacing feels ok to me. You can record and edit (hey cheating) performances but I wish there was a built in teaching tool. I guess I could get a book or fire up the laptop but that seems almost comical. God forbid I should take lessons from a human being that's a little too far out there.
So all you talented pianists, does this work for you? Can you actually bang out a reasonable tune across all the octaves? I'd like to know.

This synth piano has very good sound, very low latency and a very clean, powerful interface. The metronome itself is worth the 2 bucks. You could pay $30 bucks for a stand alone metronome at the music store and it would not be this good. I think the piano sounds are at least as good as Quicktime's possibly better. It's sound is better than the piano sounds that ship with many expensive music creation programs. It even lets you delete the demos!!! sweet. The record feature is excellent for getting ideas down while away from any kind of recording device. I would like it to have a couple of other piano sounds (electric, midi-layered, clav, etc.) You cannot spend $2.00 better.

Both 'Band' and 'Pianist' are beautifully designed and implemented applications that take full advantage of the iPhone's large multi-touch display. They are lot's of fun to play with and encourage musical creativity. Further development could make the iPhone an excellent device for musicians, composers & producers to get creative ideas down while not in the studio. It would be great to see a multi-track audio/MIDI sequencer that can export, email or upload MIDI and audio files for use Logic, SONAR or another DAW application. It seems the iPhone's OS is capable of handling the task, and those at MOO-COW-MUSIC have certainly shown an ability to create beautiful and functional mobile music applications. I can't wait to see the next release . Keep up the great work MOO-COW!

I play the piano, I find this app has a better tune sound compared to my real piano.. this app sounds like a true grand. no bs electronic piano sounding. --- no problems with it really.. I mean playing a piano on a phone with your fingers lol, that's hard on any phone, period.

so this is the best you can do for an iphone, u really can't do more to make it more playable, but a really good song to play on it is "clocks" by coldplay.. you can play the entire right hand of the song .. just having to hit the octave button once at the end.

But if you love the piano,, looking to spend money on a good app.. this is as good as it gets. I've tried 2 other piano apps

I just bought this software and am already impressed with it. I have taken piano for nine years and am currently working on a college-level theory course. The two-keyboard view is very easy to use and their placements can be shifted independently of each other, which is nice. I love that I can record my own stuff, change the number of keys I see at a time on the interface, and decide how long I want the sustaining pedal to sustain, etc. This app helps me a ton, because I don't necessarily have to sit at a piano to do my theory homework anymore or play around with ideas. Thanks!

This is a good app. If you're out and about and have a song idea in your head -- or if you just need to occupy your 5-year-old for a while -- then this is well worth the money. Being able to record multiple parts if a song asynchronously is also a plus.

Would like to see the ability to zoom in or out on the keyboard in a future release, i.e., view twenty keys at a time if necessary.

UPDATE: Now the app does the kind of multi-octave I was looking for. Kudos to the designer(s) for responding to user feedback!

I was worried about it being hard to play and getting used to, but suprisingly, it was fairly easy. If you mess up when recording/ overdubbing, you can delete the last note you played or the whole overdub or the last 10 notes (which is genius, because i tend to mess up). The only thing it's missing is fast-fowarding through your recording because it's kind of annoying waiting for the whole song to record a last note or something.
