![]() Simply unlink any of the audio effects from the Morph Pad to dial in your own settings. This enables you to easily integrate Pure Upright into your desktop projects by sending MIDI and receiving audio with one single cable, as well as network MIDI and Inter-App Audio for triggering the piano from other apps that you might have installed.Įquipped with customizable reverb, EQ, and delay, sound creation becomes even more creative. The app also supports a direct connection to your Mac using Inter Device Audio (IDAM). Pure Upright works as a standalone app or as an AUv3 plug-in within your DAW of choice, and extensive connectivity options allow you to easily connect to your keyboard controller via USB, direct, or Bluetooth MIDI to experience the sound of a professional grand piano through your headphones or speakers. As you do so, the various timbres blend together, allowing you to create your own sounds comprising combinations of neighboring presets for you to save and recall. The “pure” Upright sits untouched at the heart and center of the space, surrounded by eight more presets for you to explore as you guide your finger seamlessly through the wide-ranging tonal palette of the piano. Similar to an XY pad in its flat, tactile nature, the Morph Pad offers up nine different core upright piano timbres, including Vintage, Intimate, Reverse, Gated, and Pad, to name a few. Pure Upright captures the uniquely recognizable sound of the upright piano and makes it as wonderfully playable as our acclaimed Pure Piano for iOS. You don’t always need the splendor of a grand piano but the character and immediacy of an upright piano. That’s why it’s heard in countless iconic tracks throughout musical history with the upright at the heart of the song. Well worth the half-price of 14.99.An upright piano sits perfectly in pop, R&B, Hip-Hop, and many more modern music genres. I can think of a few ways I’d improve this– like control over the release time (and fully intact release samples). Could be interesting to use that in some cases. The “percussive” node as you approach it creates a kind of sfz (sort of) with a steep initial decay followed by the usual longer decay. The reverse sample is a fixed length (maybe two beats at 100 BPM). Fortunately, you can choose some aspects of what is or isn’t included in the morph-pad action. But I can see how the sparse GUI is appealing to a non-techy person. I’m not very excited by the 9 point morph-pad, which is less useful than having actual access to settings. It might have been cool if they added a convolution “piano reverb” just for the sustain pedal. There aren’t any dampers-up (sustain pedal) samples– but that would have added to the size considerably, so it is an understandable choice. It has release samples, but releases are still shorter than they should be.
