This app holds a lot of potential if only it could actually work without crashing I ve uploaded a lot of Soundfonts into mine only to be disappointed because the app constantly crashes in Beatmaker 3     Can t use as AU in BM3 Quazzemodo

Playing the on screen keyboard produces sound from SampleTank or the Ravenscroft piano app but when a midifile is imported and played the keys in the on screen bs 16i image move up and down but no sound appears I d report this to the developer confidentially but an hour or so of searching the website shows no email address for bug reports and or technical queries or forum or anything and no support page just Facebook and Twitter links yuck This is a beautiful app and very solid so I m puzzled why there s no real bug report path for purchasers Almost a year ago 12 21 2016 zavier11 reported a similar problem on the Apple App Store probably for lack of a bug reporting mechanism There seems to have been no reply I d love to get a reply but there s no way I ll post an email address here Four stars for quality despite the fact that the app refuses to do one of the main things I bought it for                 no midi out to Audiobus midi chain when playing midifile first_fiddle

Please fix this bug and I will give your app 5 stars     I can t access the INBOX HELP App-Store-Police

Please add midi learn function to the sliders and knobs When using bs 16 app inside of AUM bs 16 will drop out the audio but the keyboard keys responds to midi                 Great SoundFont zavier11

I still have the original bs 1 VST plugin for my PC This is an excellent port for iOS and it s allowed me to dig through my old Soundfont collection and enjoy them again Only thing missing Audio Units support so that I can use multiple soundfonts within Cubasis Hopefully that s coming soon                 Excellent Soundfont Player WhatYouPayForSports.com

Thank you bs16i I sampled all of my favorite instruments Kurzweil piano 01 w ep and clav Wavestation Pads AN1x Brass Voce Organs Moog solo I edited and merged them into one 200mb soundfont The app plays them perfectly on my iPhone Program changes are fast and layers are easy I can add Audiobus effects I use this with a camera kit and a usb controller for rehearsals in the city I also use it as an emergency backup to my hardware rig I use a powered usb controller to save battery Thank you again bs16i                     I Can Pay my Favorite Sounds from my iPhone Waste my time

Thank you bs16i I sampled my favorite instruments Kurzweil Piano 01 w ep Wavestation Strings AN1x brass Voce Organs and Moog Solo Synths I converted edited and imported them into one 200mb soundfont The app plays them perfectly Program changes load with little delay I can layer programs in the app and i can add effects with Audiobus I have used this on my iPhone with a usb controller for rehearsals in the city and as an emergency backup to my hardware rig To conserve power I use a powered USB controller instead of a USB midi interface Thank you bs16i                     I Can Now Play My Favorite Instruments From My iPhone Waste my time

Such great sounds easy to use                     Brilliant Hydra vein

Amazing app I am using it to layer some sounds along with my Roland Jv 1080 sweet                     Amazing Momusik2

I use this everyday It is an invaluable workhorse                     Fantastic Ben Efitofadoubt

Don t let the sound font thing scare you This is a Keyboard that lets you download any sound you want into it to play via the sound font files that are available all over the web Lots of them are free The instruments that are already on the app are terrific but you can add anything else you want unlike most other apps I ve downloaded some great sounding Pianos Violins and Bass sounds into this app and it was easy and free and sounded amazing This app is worth it                     Fantastic versatile app Glishba

This app sounds fantastic The developer has continually improved and supported this program since releasing it several years ago He has been quick to respond whenever I ve had a question It supports all of the important technologies IAA Audiobus and the MIDI works great This is an essential app for my music arsenal HIGHLY recommended                     The Best Soundfont Player Available Audiojunkie2013

This is one of my favorite go to sampler soundfont player apps I ve tried Sampletank Sound Canvas countless other miscellaneous samplers and all the soundfont player apps bs 16i still remains my number one thanks to superb velocity sensitivity even without external midi controllers the accelerometer response is top notch One of the best I ve seen across keyboard apps Yes it beats GarageBand hands down on this beautiful selection of default soundfonts Honestly I ve tried the Miroslav from Sampletank and many other string sections but nothing beats Stereo strings Fast for me to get into the zone with some Zimmer esque aggressive string action the easy to use multitimbral mapping means that it plays very nicely with virtual MIDI and projects I ve got going on in my DAWs For example fiddlewax bs 16i instant orchestral layering bliss And of course adding your own soundfonts is a breeze though it s hard to beat the stellar collection the dev had put together What s more it perfectly complements sonically speaking my other favorite sampler Thumbjam I ve often found myself using them as controllers sound palettes for each other Lovely stuff kudos                     All time favorite thelemonbot

Only wish one could MIDI learn the controls like frequency and Q However very nice sound and extremely low latency Surprisingly good acoustic piano rivals and even surpasses some dedicated piano apps Fantastic strings brass and drums And it all works very smooth on older hardware iPad2 with Alesis I O Dock in my case Update with MIDI learn and the fifth star gets lit                 Wow Did not expect it to be so good Nitpick Pete

This is by far the best midi controller app that I have ever used It far surpasses anything else that s out there It s pretty simple to use and has great sounds I m also appreciative of the fact that you can load sounds in addition to the preloaded sounds If there is one criticism it is that there s no way to split the keyboard with Sam In other words I would like to have bass in my left hand and some melody or chording sound in my right hand                     Simply Awesome Dr. Erroyl

Great app The ability to get sound fonts on here is awesome However the polyphony really lacks A LOT Such a good wasted app Can t use live until the polyphony comes WAAAAYYYYY UP             Great app Can t use onstage though Robgotchords

Having the ability to play my collection of SoundFont files on my iPad or iPod or iPhone is a dream come true This app is great I use it live with a custom Rhodes soundfont through FX using Audiobus People love it If you are a fan of soundfonts Get this app                     Fantastic SoundFont MIDI player djAlpad

One of the first music apps I ever purchased There are LOADS of soundfont files on the internet and within a week I had a library with over 6 GB of free samples The app makes it very easy to sort and store your samples You also get an 8 channel mixer and two keyboards which can be used together or separately Also the developer updates regularly and it shows The BS 16i plays nice with every virtual midi app I ve lobbed at it Great value easy to use plays well with others All you have to do is spend a little time finding soundfonts to add to your library Highly recommended                     Terrific App Sturgeon's Law

I ve used this app to capture and perform some of the amazing orchestral vocal and drum sounds floating around the Internet in sound font files Sound fonts can be opened in the app so you don t need to sync with a computer via iTunes The app lets you layer multiple sounds triggered by a single key press For example you could have a guitar which swells into a choir Each sound can be managed indepentently I had a question about how to do this and the dev was very helpful He hung in with me over three emails but eventually showed me exactly how to do what I wanted Bravo                     Great way to capture realistic sounds Michael_in_CA

How about some decent documentation This is my first syth and I prefer not to stumble around for hours trying to grasp every aspect of it when some documentation could should be provided to help me use it to its full potential I got midi and sound working fine         Lacks Manual DJ_Boomie

This is a multitimbral Soundfont PLAYER It s not a Soundfont editor To the user TranslationPolice You re bashing an app that never said it could do what you needed it to do in the 1st place You need a Soundfont editor like Awave Studio PC only or Polyphone Mac and PC to edit Soundfonts Once they re edited then you load them back into BS 16i AFIAK there are no Soundfont editors for iOS                 Does what it says it does Nightowl4272

Basically turns your ios device into a midi module I ve loaded up my own soundfonts I can t be any happier Best 8 I ve ever spent                     Amazing Zacmontey

This sounds and works amazingly well I love this I like it better than Sampletank for iOS                     Thank you CoopMusic247

I kind of been waiting for like a tracker update or even recording                     Great app but Elementalzx14

Thank you for the new update with an app support I m so glad you have to continued the development of the only sound font player in the App Store To anyone think about buying this app you should It has a great sound engine With an unlimited amount of sf2 files form 1990s until now is the easiest way to know your sounds will be unique when making iOS music                     Thank you Blackbery-12

WONDERFUL Thank you Shun NOW this is MY TO GO app Thank you very much                     HURRAH IAA HERE sm.01

This is a very good App on my Ipad 2 runs fine but when i tried on my iphone 3gs it crash very often and when i am lucky enough to make it work it hardsly plays midi songs besides it couldnt load the 4 soundfonts it suposses When i wrote to customer support i didnt have any answer when i tried to get in touch with some question for the pc version i wanted to buy they either got in touch with me im waiting for an answer yet For the Pc now im thinking to buy the Fantasize Soundfont player or Maybe the Camaleon 5000 due to the bad customer service this bs16 has im sorry and sad because other way it is a good app on my ipad             In Gral Good App but incompatibility isues with czefght

Very good app but dev did not respond to repeated requests for help My external midi controller sends cc 123 all notes off when the last key is lifted and bs16i stops all notes at that point even if the hold pedal cc64 is down No other synth apps that I ve tried have this problem I was able to work around it by filtering out cc123 with FrEWI Will upgrade to 5 stars if this gets fixed so I don t have to hack it every time                 MIDI cc 123 issue slyyyde

I have all the top synths for iOS and its hard to pick one as a favorite but if I could only have one synth loaded and had to choose it would be BS 16 without a doubt It can cover everything by itself with the right sound fonts I use a program on the PC called Extreme Sample Converter and can convert any sample from my EMU and Akai sample library s with the click of a button Honestly this should get the top iOS synth award                     A must have Analogluvr

Love this app great sounds you can find lots of Soundfonts online                     Awesome music152music

Fully functional with Audiobus to record sequenced sound into your iOS DAW of choice Folder Management for Organization of Soundfonts and Midi files It also has Scenes to save your layouts for different song projects so you can recall them on the fly This was one of the first solid midi equipped apps to run 16 channels of midi without a hiccup I sequenced this app with everything from a Commodore64 to a MPC As a day 1 user and supporter of this app I can now say that it is COMPLETE Bravo                     Audiobus in the house SevenStarGod

Amazing music app Bought this on sale during the holidays and must say that the sounds are pretty good and the UI is very is easy to work with IMO I can use Midi Bridge to play bismark with my Synthstation 25 easily Another thing I can do is use Jordan Rudess s Geo Synth route it to the Midi Bridge app go into bismark and turn on virtual midi and route channel to trigger both sounds from the Geo Synth screen It took me a little bit to figure it out but Midi setup is fairly easy compared to most apps Last but not least the import of Soundfonts is awesome I have never used Soundfonts before but they sound just as good as WAV if not better Great app and thanks for dropping the price for the Holiday season                     Never worked with Soundfonts till now myst515

I needed a multi timbral synth for my iPad checked out a few and went with this one No regrets at all It comes with some good sounds but what I really love is I can import my own soundfonts Its got two keyboards mixing options and lots of other nice stuff too but I wish you could save a set up patch or instrument channel assignment hopefully we will get this in a future update Thanks for a great program love it                     Great app Scrote61

Sound fonts open a whole world of sound This program is controllable via virtual midi and external keyboards                     Useful Peter03102

The update is great The inclusion of a soundfont that has dozens of sounds should help for people that don t have any soundfonts The interface could still use a little work But i am grateful for this app that makes it possible to take my library of thousands of high quality soundfonts on the road Keep up the good work For people that don t know one of the reasons this app is superior is that your database of sounds is almost limitless There are tons of quality soundfonts you can find online for free if you don t already have any Cheers                     Rare Breed Beegee34

I bought the first version for 4 99 Waste of money unless you re into sound fonts Now the developer has upped the price Don t buy it There is a bank of sound fonts in the update but of poor quality IMO Still no help file AT ALL and no user forum This developer does not have his her act together Save money and aggravation and go buy ThumbJam The samples are awesome there s support and many more features     Still thumbs down even with update BDC1989

This app is a must buy for anyone who plays music live Please add support for the Akai synthstation 25                     Great app CougarSteel

I love that an app finally came out that supports sound fonts My only request is to add the ability to enlarge the keys and I can gladly give it 5 stars                 Nice app tizzomr

Wow is this good If you have a lot of Soundfont sounds you must get this I have thousands including all the Emu series This app handles soundbanks perfectly Just a solid app that does exactly what it says perfectly Now IMHO the developers of Nanostudio and Beatmaker 2 should rush to be the one to have this developer integrate this excellent instrument into their software It would expand the usefulness of their software dramatically Now update to virtual midi support                     A solid app Bremencole

so cold if you are like me and have beatmaker 2 and need more sounds then this is that one it needs to run in the background and virtual midi support tho had issues were the sf patches wouldnt stay on channel 3 but still on my iphone4 and ipad2 this thing is like the one on pc                 best sampler on ios so far @rayNmanmusic
