This is a really great accompanist, especially during the Covid pandemic. However, in Messager solo de concours, I noticed that the piano was still running during the cadenza passage, making a distorted sound.
This is a follow-up of a previous version that went bankrupt. Now they have relaunched it and enlarged the repertoire. It is really useful for anyone playing a soloist instrument and wishing for an orchestra to follow you. It actually does!! So you play your part and the orchestra listens to you, slows down accelerates... as you do it. It’s really great and I hope the business model works this time!!!
It took 5 minutes to get started, mostly spent hunting down a cable to plug in an external speaker. It followed along with my tempo changes, ignored my mistakes, and nailed its entrance after a cadenza. It is so much fun to play along with. Give it a larger repertoire and it will be just about perfect.
This app is very buggy. Often the accompaniment just doesn't play at all or suddently sustains a note for no apparent reason. And it's very expensive. Maybe future versions will be better. I do not recommend it.
Well, I got past the sign in. However, there is no piano listed as an instrument. Hopefully this will be fixed as the library expands. I look forward to actually using this app!
Couldn’t get past creating a user ID without the app crashing. Tried accessing as guest and free content kept generating error prompts. Disappointing at best
I have no idea how the app works. No metronome, no recording of the solo, no instructions. How do they expect me to use it when there’s no explanation of how to use it?

IMPORTANT notes on the musical experience of Cadenza Live Accompaniment: (1) When using Cadenza with built-in microphone & speakers on your iPhone/iPad, please remove the cover or the protection case of your iPad/iPhone -- your device cover or case will reduce the built-in microphone's ability to hear and record your playing. (2) Please use wired headphones or external speaker(s) when playing with Cadenza Live. The built-in speakers / earphones on your iPhone/iPad cannot play the accompaniment loud enough. (3) Cadenza had been tested on all Apple AirPods and AirPods Pro models and can automatically or manually adjust to accommodate some wireless latency. But for your best music experience, wired speakers/headphones are recommended due to the large Bluetooth latency.
