looks very interesting and slightly different to the IRCAM Prepared piano. The UVI looks a bit simpler in the preparations but more flexible in the sound manipulation - more of a sound design tool rather than a Cage-ian Prepared Piano. And the UVI is less than half the price of the IRCAM !

It does look interesting, and I know a singer who'd totally want me to get it, haha. Looks very useful for contemporary indie pop, which is full of odd organic (but not necessarily realistic) sounds.

I have just embarked on a search for a prepared piano library. I don't think I'm into taking UVI on, though.
the IRCAM at $399 isn't happening here, either

The IRCAM is the only relatively complete one I could find. They do 30% specials from time to time. I would think about the UVI if I did not already have the IRCAM. There is another simpler one that I have from post musical instruments but that may have disappeared.bigcat have a freebie I have not tried.

I bought the Soundiron Montclair Grand. It's not a prepared piano, an fx piano though and a pretty darn good straight piano. It was that or the Xtended Piano product by SC.
Only thing I found was that IRCAM one a few yrs ago, didn't seem like I was going to shell out like that even then when I had it. I'm not going to base a whole part of my oeuvre on the approach or something, and I'd just as soon do it for real to get that involved anyway. I mean it's so tactile-centric and 'own decisions' ultimately.

Indeed! Augmented Piano was an instabuy for me. It is great to have so many different preparations in one instrument.simmo75 wrote:plus having the sounds in Falcon is sweeeet

Sounds characterful and there is really depth and presence in it but since i feel too much overlap with Keyscape (i also love here especially the more characterful things like the wing tack piano etc.) i‘m also not sure i would benefit much here.
But in general i‘m in love with these sounds.
The most interesting Falcon expansion so far.
