Amazing app, super fun to use and work with!
My only issue is that MIDI will cut out for a split second sometimes, it’s usually just one audio track but sometimes it’s all of them. (Audio tracks that are bs-16i of course) Is there any way you could possibly fix this? It can be incredibly noticeable and a bit frustrating at times.

More features by still the goat
This is the best sf2 player, for little money, I really recommend this, coming from a user that uses this in band rigs, I kinda wish there more features, like if I play the note low velocity, that the filter cutoff be affected too, that way I can use less samples instead of having layers, saves more room, another thing I would like is that, an env thats also effected by cutoff, similar to how korg im1, has this VDF, and VDA EG under the “Easy” tab, if I play a note, I can make it where the note plays full volume, and like 2 seconds later it decays a little and stays like that the rest of the d

Not Working Anymore
I REALLY love using this plugin, as I consider it the best soundfont player for GarageBand. But, I can’t load songs that use it anymore. I’m not sure if it’s an issue with the legacy version of the app, or just with the plugin itself, but it’s pretty much unusable for me now, especially since I only really use the legacy version.

Its great but have some issue
This is a great app over all. But we do have some issue. I purchased this app 2 weeks ago, and I couldn’t find it working with AUv3 in GarageBand. It’s suppose load in “Audio Init Extension” but instead it loaded in “Inter-app unit”, and I have no idea how to fix it. Though everything else worked fine, but I’m still trying to make it work.

AUv3 version doesn’t recall soundfonts
2021 update: I ended up giving up on this app because the soundfont recall issue has been a known problem for years but has never been fixed. It's a shame because the bs16i has all of the features that the other soundfont apps for iOS lack.

Catch Busy Boy
Quick question. How do you get "Catch Busy Boy" because I wanna use it for "el paso del gigante" and I tried looking for it but couldn't find it.

Love this app
I’ve used this app for a number of years but just came across this bug. After adding portamento to a patch I tried (multiple times) to save it as a scene. After it “saves” the portamento setting is at 0. I’ve tried saving it as a new scene, overwriting an old scene, changing the sound font, and everything else I could think of but nothing saves the portamento setting. This is not the on/off setting (that gets saved) but the amount of portamento. Why is this?

Work horse
For the keyboard parts I cover in my classic rock band, this app is indispensable, providing useful pianos, synths, and various hard-to-find instruments and sounds, like thunder and lightning, perfect for “Riders on the Storm.” Sometimes it gets jacked up by IOS updates, but these problems get resolved.

Doesn’t save patches
I love this sampler but the main flaw that is annoying is that it never saves the patches I used in my projects. When I reopen up a project I’ve worked on using the bs-16i, I always have to reselect the sound patch i had for each track (if i remember) which most definitely hinders me from instantly starting back on a project. Fix this bug please. It will benefit me and everyone else that purchased this.

I hate the new update you guys did a week ago.
Idk what made you guys change the look. Now instead of just pressing an instrument to play it, I have to open the list then select instead of having the entire list on the left side with the knobs on the right. NOT A FAN OF IT, POINTLESS UPDATE.

The last few updates have broken it

EXCELLENT
Especially with the latest update! I have been using bs-16i for a long time, and it works beautifully. It is very easy to import any sf2 file, either purchased ones such as Sound Factory files, or those you can make yourself with something like Polyphone. The biggest negative I had was that bs-16i would not save the sound font setting with patch info in a host app, such as AUM; this required you to manually load the correct sound font, or make up a custom sound font that contains all the sounds you’d like to have on hand. With the latest update, this limitation is gone, and bs-16i is working

Must have app!
As you probably know the purpose of this app, I’ll just say that it does it very well. Extremely efficient app, was running several instances in AU mode without any issues. And I was using huge samples (1gb+) in all of them. Excellent developer! One small request, if you could make the defaults, when starting a new instance, with all fx - Off, and volume at middle position, this app would simply be perfect! I always use various external fx, and the volume is a bit too loud by default. Thanks!

Amazing App for Musicians!
I have a sample library business and I’ve wanted to bring my Sounds to iOS for a long time. The soundfont format is old but simple to use and with BS-16i, I have successfully made around 4 SF2 soundfont libraries to be used with BS-16i! Bismark and I have a great relationship and I look forward to bringing more soundfonts to be used with this incredible app!

Cubasis issue
When I go to use the bs in cubasis as a multi TimbrAl instrument ... whether I load my own scenes in or not. Whenever I press stop in a project. The bs resets itself yo factory. No matter what I do. In cubasis. Latest iPad latest iOS. Fix that and I’ll buy every upgrade you have this thing sounds amazing.
