Any keyboardist who's been jealous of all of the products out there catering to their guitarist friends finally have an equally portable solution for practicing, writing and performing. They're smartly designed, work well together and they sound incredible.

Overall, I feel that IK Multimedia has a home run on their hands with the iRig Keys and the supporting apps they've created. Both apps are compatible with the iRig Keys along with a dedicated iOS-compatible MIDI adapter called the iRig MIDI, so you can bring your own MIDI keyboard if you'd like. Each piano is customizable with options for adjusting volume, ambience, and lid position and the automatic release of keys when not using an expression pedal are phenomenal. With pianos ranging from Classical and Grand Pianos to various uprights and even a fun Saloon piano, the app offers an incredible amount of range. The second app is the iGrand Piano, which has the most faithful piano samples I've ever heard on iOS. SampleTank is free with various instrument packs unlockable with in-app purchases. The first is SampleTank which contains over 500 instruments over 16 categories including drum samplers, a wide range of electronic and orchestral instruments. IK Multimedia also publishes two great apps that serve as companions for the iRig Keys.
