ElmerJFudd Posted June 21, 2023 Share Posted June 21, 2023 Interesting. Pianos are between 1 and 4gb. Anyone see information on number of velocity layers? $11.99. 5 pianos 128 poly ”authentic string sympathetic resonances” User velocity curves Quote Yamaha CP88, Casio PX-560 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drawback Posted June 21, 2023 Share Posted June 21, 2023 Are they the pianos from Genuine Sounds Vol 1? Tuning issues on each sample 😩 Quote ____________________________________ Rod Here for the gear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ElmerJFudd Posted June 21, 2023 Share Posted June 21, 2023 Here’s what the CFX sounds like. https://www.genuinesoundware.com/products/gemini/demo/VeniceGrandCFX/CFX_Jumping.mp3 Any acoustic piano on iOS is going to have to compete with Pianoteq. Ok, 4 sampled instruments for $11.99. But would you opt for any of them solo or with band? Being able to demo would help. The other audio demos are at the bottom of this page. https://www.genuinesoundware.com/?a=showproduct&b=65 Quote Yamaha CP88, Casio PX-560 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can you swap pianos whenever you want? The demos sound pretty good, of course # of velocity layers will affect how it feels to play. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's how I read it as well, you have access to all 4 but only one at a time: you'd need to swap out downloads to switch piano models, like changing CDs in a car stereo but hopefully with less Coke spills from accidentally knocking over the can in your drink holder.

Radagast Posted June 21, 2023 Share Posted June 21, 2023 This page in the App Store says the pianos are not IAP (in app purchases). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baldwin Funster Posted June 21, 2023 Share Posted June 21, 2023 It says only 1 can be installed but doesn't say only 1 can be downloaded at a time. If you got alot of storage you can possibly store 3 or 4 models and load the one you prefer. I'm still hoping for Mr Ray2 for android. Quote FunMachine.

AnotherScott Posted June 21, 2023 Share Posted June 21, 2023 I think this is for someone who wants the grands of Genuine Sound Vol1, without all the other stuff (upright, electric grand, rhodes, wurli, clav, etc.)... and maybe fewer variations on those grands as well. Quote Maybe this is the best place for a shameless plug! Our now not-so-new new video at https://youtu.be/3ZRC3b4p4EI is a 40 minute adaptation of T. S. Eliot's "Prufrock" - check it out! And hopefully I'll have something new here this year. ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hrestov Posted June 21, 2023 Share Posted June 21, 2023 The Cfx, the steinway and the c5 have 16 velocity layers, and no looped samples, so the decay is natural. The same of genuine sound module vol 1 app. You can use one sample at a time. I think that if you download one sample it overwrite the previous one. You’ll also have the future piano sample release included. For 12€… I already buy it, I’ll see if it is better then Ravenscroft. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delaware Dave Posted June 21, 2023 Share Posted June 21, 2023 I'm assuming that these are the same ones that are available in my Gemini module. IMO the 'truest' piano is the Steinway D, it is highly accurate. That being said, the one I actually use 90+% of the time is the C5, not as 'true' as the Steinway but sounds better with other instruments in a stage setting. When piano is featured in a song is when I use the Steinway. Although the CFX seems to be the most popular, I rarely use it. To hear them all, go to the link below then page down to the expansion slot area, click on the piano, there is a couple minute sample of each one: https://www.genuinesoundware.com/?a=showproduct&b=43 Quote 57 Hammond B3; 69 Hammond L100P; 68 Leslie 122; Kurzweil Forte7 & PC3; M-Audio Code 61; Voce V5+; Neo Vent; EV ELX112P; GSI Gemini & Burn Delaware Dave Exit93band Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CHarrell Posted June 22, 2023 Share Posted June 22, 2023 Excited to hear peoples' thoughts. Every few months I flirt with going the iPad+controller route (have a mini4 that barely scrapes by). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hrestov Posted June 23, 2023 Share Posted June 23, 2023 As other Gsi apps, quality is top. And Especially in this case, the price is very very cheap. I prefer the CFX in Just Piano than Pianoteq. Same quality in general, but Cfx sings more in the melody, and Pianoteq Steinway is more soft and sweet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every few months I flirt with going the iPad+controller route (have a mini4 that barely scrapes by). I used a mini4 and watched it slowly get more and more inadequate as more apps came out over that period of ios app development. I recently got a Gen 9 running ios 16.1 for about what I paid for the mini4 in 2017 or whenever it was. The advancement in power is incredible. I can run almost any app I want and use AUM v3 to use multiple apps and effects apps and control which you hear via changing midi channels from my board. AUM also allows layers and splits and zones and whatever. It's a gamechanger for me. And my mini4 is available as a backup mostly to suppress Murphys Law. 1 Quote FunMachine.

Reezekeys Posted June 23, 2023 Share Posted June 23, 2023 +1 on the G9, I keep harping on how it's the least powerful (and least expensive, $270 right now at Best Buy) iPad in Apple's current line up, and the last with a headphone jack. My AUM setup – multiple VIs and instances of the same AUv3 plugs with a few GB of samples, percussion loops, backing tracks, etc. – loafs along at CPU usage 20 - 30% and a 128 buffer. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ElmerJFudd Posted June 23, 2023 Share Posted June 23, 2023 How long an iPad will get OS updates and latest version of software is always up to its release date and which processor generation it has in it. That is usually 5-7 years from release. Depending on use it may need a battery swap once during that time frame. As long as it boots up, runs the apps you need… run it as long as it’s useful.

CHarrell Posted August 24, 2023 Share Posted August 24, 2023 Hey y'all just wanted to give a quick update: I messaged GSI about this app and they responded, confirming that the CFX, D274, and C5 are the XXL versions found in the desktop Genuine Sounds, not the XL versions found in the iOS GS. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ElmerJFudd Posted August 24, 2023 Share Posted August 24, 2023 How much of their sound set do we have on iPad OS now? Is an iPad a good alternative to their hardware Gemini? Quote Yamaha CP88, Casio PX-560 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hrestov Posted August 24, 2023 Share Posted August 24, 2023 For acoustic pianos, in iOS the sample are better, bigger, than the Gemini. In iOS there isn’t Vb3 II, but only vb3 I (but there is Leslie sim of Vb3 II). Vox continental and Farfisa, Clavinet, and mini orchestra, maybe electro orchestra, I think they are quite similar between iOS and Gemini. The biggest thing is that in iOS there Isn’t the Rhodes of gemini, that is, togheter with vb3, the most famous sound of Gsi. the synth engine i don’t know if it is similar. Then there are the effects, in the Gemini there is a effect chain that can be use with any sound, there is a distortion and simulation amp for example. In the app there are often this simulations, but you can’t use them in standalone. In gemini there are generic samples that aren’t in iOS app. In iOS there are an electronic drum machine, and in short also an acoustic drum machine. So Gsi apps are greats, but the Gemini still is a very good module. The big and famous two sounds of Gsi, hammond and Rhodes, aren’t in iOS in their top version, and maybe it’s not a casuality. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you mean that they've made a conscious decision to leave the Gemini/Mojo61 quality Rhodes off their library of iOS apps, that's really too bad. That's the one I've been waiting for and would pay a premium price for. Quote ____________________________________ Rod Here for the gear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hrestov Posted August 24, 2023 Share Posted August 24, 2023 Maybe they change their ideas, Gsi it’s not a big company, mainly two guys I think , so they can change easily idea. However now there is Vb3 II for computer, but there isn’t rhodes. I think they like produce iOS app, and they have a politic that their apps and software always have update. In facts it’s quite sure, returning in topic, that Sooner or later m they release new piano samples, that will be available also for just piano app. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CHarrell Posted August 24, 2023 Share Posted August 24, 2023 Given the consistent launch of several apps through the past year, I wouldn't be surprised if they released an EP plugin within the next year. I know their clav plugin cones highly recommended. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hrestov Posted August 24, 2023 Share Posted August 24, 2023 In This post of Facebook the said they will release (in April 2023??) a Rhodes app. Read the comments. They said that it will be different from Gemini. and they also said that not all the engine of Gemini will come out for iOS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChazKeys Posted August 24, 2023 Share Posted August 24, 2023 Just for reference: Red Animal Combo Deluxe Solo Trumpet Ckavinet D6 Electro Orchestra (String machine) Mini orchestra are exactjy the same models as the Gemini. GSi have released so much over the last year i’m not surprised the EP app hasn’t appeared yet. He is also porting all the apps to iphone too. Good things come to those who wait! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
