iLectric Piano for iPad Now Available

The first studio-quality electric piano app




iLectric for iPad, the first studio-quality electric piano app for iPad, offers over 40 classic electric pianos, electric grands and clavinets, all carefully sampled from the original instruments. From clean and icy-cool to sharp and staccato to growling and distorted, iLectric Piano faithfully recreates the gamut of classic electric piano sounds - tones heard on countless hit songs, iconic jazz recordings and classic rock albums.

Watch the iLectric for iPad video or listen to some of the audio demos.

EP Paradise
You get multiple versions of "EP" and "Wurly," which were sampled from the two most iconic electric pianos of all time. And there are three different Clavinets in the collection, giving you many variations of the funkiest of all keyboards. And that's just the beginning. iLectric Piano is expandable via in-app purchase to add another 22 vintage and modern keyboards to your collection.

Modern Modulation
In addition to the incredibly accurate reproduction of each instrument's original character and sound, we provide you with some modern tools to make the sounds your own. We added a powerful effects section to give you the creative tools to take the original sounds to a completely new level of originality and unique auditory bliss. And they're easy to use.

Hit Record
Capture spur creative playing and musical ideas with its onboard MIDI recorder. Finished recordings can be exported as WAV or m4a audio files via file sharing, email, and the copy function. For added convenience and control, iLectric Piano's parameters can easily be assigned to be controlled externally via MIDI.

Triple Play
You can play iLectric Piano three ways: right from your iPad with the onscreen keyboard, with a dedicated MIDI controller like iRig KEYS designed specifically for mobile musicians, or with a standard MIDI controller and MIDI interface like iRig MIDI.

I wish you guys would finally add Audiobus to your products. It's a shame really, because your apps sound good, but unless you're using them for live performances, they're rather useless in a recording scenario.

I'm sure others will agree with me that your sales would increase tremendously if you had Audiobus support and your apps would play along nicely with others.

We've stated many times that we will have Audiobus coming. We have had the SDK and are working on it. We don't work on one thing at a time, we're not serial.

Edit - leaving it at that. Keeping this relevant. If you haven't "given up on IK" as you've stated elsewhere I'm more than happy to continue the conversation with you directly via PM and we can move on with this thread.

Do you have a link to one of the sampletank cubasis videos? That sounds like a good trick that I would like to be able too do.

Any questions about this product's release? Listen to the audio demos, I was floored by them. They sound fantastic. http://www.ikmultimedia.com/products/ilectricipad/index.php? pp=ilectirc-piano-ipad-audio

I can't front, i was excited about this and was gonna buy when i got home, until i realized it was an IK release....i hope they get everything working soon with audiobus/background noise, etc...
I got burned with the ipiano app, sounds terrific, but it will not work with anything else without distorted audio, so i can't use it except for just messing around.
Hopefully this will all be resolved soon, as I will definitely purchase this, until then.....

Do you have a ticket number for the noise problem? That doesn't seem like a known issue I've seen, so I'm sure support can help you out.

Looks like another fantastic product. Definitely on the 'to buy' list.

Keep up the good work,

Why is polyphony not posted in the specs ever? Sheesh... That's huge. Polyphony is a big deal. I'm not getting burned on another mobile piano app without knowing that first...

Since its IOS I don't wanna hear, we'll its different according to device.

That's fine but put out a little table listing the IOS device and how much polyphony one can expect.

When its not mentioned in the initial specs that are published it makes me think "hmmm... trying to hide something??"

Nothing to hide, and we'd love to do that little table thingy, but it varies a lot more than just based on sound. Any FX? Any apps running in the background? This will run the same as SampleTank and iGrand Piano do, feel free to download the free version and try it out for yourself.

So, 16 notes on an iPad 3 then.

I guess I read it too fast. I didn't see that a free version was available. I'll give it a go.

As of now 1pm GMT 15th feb, there is no free version in the uk App Store
