Just came across pianoteq. I am taking piano lessons again after many years and came across the historic pianos and harpsichord samples which sound great. All I am trying to do is to play pieces I am learning and hear them on historic instruments or harpsichord. I’m not into mixing or recording. Can this software run on an iPad ?? I would like a weighted keyboard. Any suggestions? And what else would I need in order to just play pieces and have them sound like on a historic instrument. I would need a sustain pedal also. Thanks for any input.

It runs well on my ipad 7 (A10) from 2021.
With regards to keyboard, I have read that Kawai keybeds are the most realistic ones. I've never played one.
Maybe Studiologic SL88 Grand?

I think you'd be best of with a light hammer action piano as historic pianos, harpsichords and clavichords all had much lighter actions than modern pianos.
Maybe something like a Yamaha GHS action or the action on the Casio PX-S1100?
Would be a good idea to try before you buy if you can.
Warmest regards,
Chris

Yep, runs on iPad too.
Weighted keys are a subjective choice but I like Roland’s RD-88 (and it’s cheaper sibling RD-08) which also includes 3000 other tones.
It has speakers too.
