With UVI Grand Piano, it seems that UVI is testing the waters of the Mac App Store to see if there’s a market for “prosumer” virtual instruments.
It’s currently priced at $29.99.
As the video demonstrates, it’s a great sounding virtual instrument. But it’s designed to run standalone, not to work with digital audio workstations.
Think there’s a market for virtual instruments like this?
What is a prosumer? A person who prosumes?
No. It's someone suffering from prosumption.
I Wish I new it was F*&$king useless in Logic before I shelled out the $30. 🙁
profusely?
it just doesnt work
I find it very neat how that MacApp store operates. I just clicked on the Soundcloud app and the little logo literally jumped off the app screen and onto my dock! Just a little trick, I guess, but so elegantly done and with a sense of play. It is these tiny but very clever details that make for a brightening day… 🙂
