Virtual Pianist RELIC Black Friday pricing is 77% off, which puts UJAM's aged Upright piano plugin at $29 until Dec 9, 2026.
RELIC is a virtual instrument built around one deliberately imperfect Upright piano. The maker pitches it at indie-flavoured piano tracks, inspired by eras running from John Lennon's "Imagine" to Rihanna's "Stay."
It does two jobs. A built-in pianist plays for you, and an Instrument Mode lets you play the Upright yourself.
The presets cover a range of sounds and styles, so you can browse for a starting point instead of building from scratch.
UJAM says months of tuning, miking, engineering and recording sessions went into capturing this piano. The goal was a "just perfectly imperfectly" tuned instrument.
The maker says it plays well, sits well in a mix and blends with voices and other instruments. The Characters and the other sound design options stretch it from an intimate close-up piano to a piano in the clouds, or from an old bar piano to ambient soundscapes.
The Finisher and Ambience effects work like synth-style sound design. You can tweak them yourself or browse the preset collection.
Yes. The built-in pianist creates and records played, correctly voiced piano performances from a single finger.
UJAM says it never sounds like an accompaniment and always sounds like a real piano player. For more realism and individual articulation, you can add chords and controllers.
If you do play keys, Instrument Mode gives you the Upright directly. The maker also expects the styles and phrases to spark ideas for keyboardists.
UJAM aims the series at singers, songwriters, producers and guitarists who need piano accompaniment but don't play piano. Each instrument is pitched as a pianist with hundreds of phrases, rhythms and styles, not just a sampled piano.
The Virtual Pianist RELIC plugin comes in VST 2, VST 3, AU and AAX. The AU 2 version only works with Logic Pro X and newer.
The instrument arrives as a downloadable installer. It needs the latest UJAM App, which handles authorisation when you log in. Your first Virtual Pianist also installs the Virtual Pianist plugin frame that hosts the instrument.
UJAM does not support moving the.blob file to an external drive. For current VST3, AAX and Apple Silicon support, UJAM points to its own website.
