Piano Pad
Apple hasn’t been the only company reinterpreting beloved desktop software on iOS. Modartt’s Pianoteq, one of the world’s finest software piano instrument suites, is now available on iPad and iPhone, with an adapted interface meaning it’s easier to navigate, catering for the absence of a mouse. You’ll need to attach a MIDI keyboard to get the best out of the exquisite instrument. Unlike other sample libraries, Pianoteq models its pianos (and other instruments) in real-time, which also means that the file size is tiny compared to some of its chunkier competitors. www.modartt.com
