MooCowMusic today is pleased to announced the release of their new application Pianist Pro for iPad. Building on their highly successful iPhone application Pianist, this new iPad-only app offers advanced music composition functionality aimed both at the casual user and the music professional.
Pianist Pro includes the full 88 keys of a professionally sampled piano with configurable soft and sustain pedals for additional emphasis during a performance. Up to 10 keys can be pressed at once, and react to the touch just like a real piano. Alternative instruments are available within the app including organs, synths, and guitars – all of which can be recorded and overdubbed to provide what MooCowMusic are calling a ‘Musical Scratchpad’ in addition to a live performance tool.
I think this is the best piano app out there for the iPad or the iPhone/touch. most of the other apps are more like games then actually piano samples. If you want to play around get magic piano, if you seriously want to do something useful and you know how to play piano get this app.
