James - I'm not certain it has only one layer but it sure does sound like it. My honest (and unbiased as humanly possible) ranking of iOS pianos is:Ĩ/10 Free Salamander played on bs-16i app (free from my site)ħ/10 Rich Upright in iGrand (requires a second purchase)Ĥ/10 Colossus Red Japanese Grand (has latency issues - I don't have the huge 14gb Concert Grand) The maker of this app needs to do a lot more work to address these issues before it should be taken seriously by musicians. The only +1 I can give it at this stage is the impressive low latency and high polyphony. Its also way too easy to let a finger slip onto a note ever-so-slightly but it rings out as loud as everything else. So while a single note sounds quite pleasant the playing experience is not nice at all. Very disappointing really - the over-filtering actually causes some notes to sound softer the harder you play! It seems to have only ONE sample layer and relies on filtering to give the impression of timbre change.
