bismark bs-16i is a 16 multi-timbral playback sampler. It loads SoundFont and DLS (Downloadable Sounds) as WaveTable and can be used for keyboard instruments, MIDI sound modules, and MIDI file players.
bs-16i has the synthesizer engine that has been adopted for many professional/commercial types of equipment. Using SoundFont / DLS libraries, you can play with your great number of instruments. With Hi-Res Engine option prepared as an In-App purchase option enables high-quality and low-noise audio outputs by 100% floating-point calculations.
All standard MIDI messages are supported, and your iPhone and iPad can be used as a GM (General MIDI) sound module by using pre-installed GeneralUser GS SoftSynth v1.44.sf2 (S. Christian Collins).
As a keyboard instrument, you can play with the scalable screen keyboard, pitch bend wheel, and many control change controllers.
The internal MIDI file player supports SMF (Standard MIDI File) format as Song.
WaveTable / Song / Scene files are managed in the "bs-16i" folder of your iCloud Drive and synced between all your iOS / iPadOS devices.
Moreover, this application supports Core MIDI interfaces like IK Multimedia iRig KEYS / iRig MIDI, YAMAHA iMX-1, LINE6 MIDI Mobilizer 2, Apple Lightning -USB Camera Adapter with USB Generic MIDI Interface, and Bluetooth accessory (Miselu C.24, QUICCO SOUND mi.1, etc). With them, you can communicate with other external MIDI hardware like a synthesizer, or sequencer. Also, bs-16i can be a background and drive from other apps using Virtual MIDI.
Audiobus 3, and Inter-App Audio are supported. You can send bs-16i's output stream to other apps.
AUv3 (AudioUnit v3) extension is included. You can use bs-16i in GarageBand, BeatMaker3, and AUM as plug-in instruments.
- To load the specified SoundFont / DLS file, the device has to ready free memory larger than its file size of it.
- This application collects the following information: Device name, OS version, SoundFont / DLS file name, and CoreMIDi I/F name.
I am really surprised. I have many similar apps, but this one comes with really many pre-installed sounds of good quality.
I am even more surprised because the low price for such a good quality and also the installation takes quite little space.
Good App but frequently iOS Update Problems in auv3
I love this App. It Plays SF2 SoundFonts. You can tweak them and add some basic effects.
As Standalone there is a Transpose Funktion missing.
As auv3 Unit it is useless because there are frequently problems with state saving.
Nice Concept - Maybe it will take a few Generations until it is usable in AUM.
Useless
Doesn’t save Presets in Auv3 mode. You could create the fanciest projects, but once you restart your DAW, everything’s back on 0, gone, poof. All your chosen Presets don’t get loaded, you have to pick them manually again on every track. Good luck figuring out. Useless for music creation on auv3. Why do they implement auv3 when there are no preset savestates? Misleading...
Nearly Perfect
The app is really good.
It would be the icing on the cake if the developer implementing samplestreaming.
Gutklingende Soundbank
Die integrierte Soundbank gefällt mir besser als die meisten riesengroßen GM-SF2 Teile im Internet. Respekt, super für Cubasis oder GarageBand.
super app für sf2 soundfiles
ich habe sehr viele soundfiles im sf2 format. diese app spielt sie alle. wahnsinn!
auch das mitgelieferte soundfile ist schon der hammer. das klavier ist eines der besten, welches sich auf meinem ipad tummelt, und das sind so einige(auch teure)!!
kaufen!!!
Nice app
Nice tool to play hi quality gospel piano sounds that I purchased from a third party provider.
There was a bug regarding the access to the 128 voice option but it is fixed now. The 128 voices can be chosen as expected
Fast perfekt
Ich war Anfangs sehr begeistert von der App. Die Ernüchterung kam prompt, die Sounds gehen leider sofort aus, wenn ich auf Mute drücke trotz gehaltenem Haltepedal. Für den Liveeinsatz wäre das aber gerade genial. Ich kaufte mir dann iMidiPatchbay, dort habe ich leider mit dieser App und Sampletank genau das gleiche Problem, Sound trotz gehaltenem Haltepedal gleich weg. Alle anderen Apps geben erst den NoteOff Befehl, wenn das Haltepedal losgelassen wird. Also leider 2 Sterne Abzug, weil die App leider für mich nicht Live brauchbar ist. Ich habe den Entwickler angeschrieben, keine Reaktion, sehr schade. Nun zum positiven, endlich günstig Samles, das ist wirklich top. 8 Sounds gleichzeitig, das kann bisher nur Sampletank. 2 Sterne gibt es mehr, wenn der Entwickler die App livetauglicher macht.
Excellent sounds
Don't be fooled by the simple interface and ugly design - the sounds in this one are great, for instance for hip hop production. Often better than SampleTank in my ears.
guter Sound, einfache Bedienung, nur die Favouritenliste fehlt
Durch eigene oder freie SF2 jederzeit im Sound erweiterbar.
Leider fehlt die Möglichkeit eigene Favouriten in Form einer Liste
oder 6-12 Buttons blitzschnell anwählen zu können.
Ist hierfür ein Update möglich?
