Even making various tweaks I couldn’t get very close. Selecting my usual favourite I was surprised by how much better the Ravenscroft 275 is. The Pure Synth piano’s aren’t in the same league at all. Retro Piano doesn’t claim to be realistic but it’s good at what it does. Using AUM, I loaded Retro Piano, Pure Synth and used a Yamaha MODX8 to compare and contrast. To confirm this I compared it to a number of piano related apps and to hardware. IPhone 5 or newer (iPhone 6 or newer recommended)Īfter a lot of research I bought Ravenscroft 275.
