Best plugin I’ve ever used, just one problem left

The only problem is that the instruments convert to sine waves every single time the performance is optimized (which happens A LOT in GarageBand). If this problem was fixed, than it would definitely be a 5-star app!

Thanks for reporting your version. Version v2.30.6 has a fix that I hope alleviates your issue.

Still crashing

Not sure what happened but even after the recent update it still crashes whether it’s auv3 or standalone. I’m on 2017ipad pro w/ the 16.7 software update.

EDIT:

Bro that was quick, I mentioned crashing issues yesterday and today the issue is resolved. Where is the tip jar?

AMAZING IDEA! But doesn’t always work as intended

Overall I’m glad I got it, because when it’s working it’s very easy to download and use soundfonts from a ton of games. It does completely tweak out and forget it exists sometimes though. When it does this, you have to either reload the extension or possibly re-add all of the fonts back. You can’t really share the music unless you screen record it or something similar, and upon opening there’s a good chance you need to reload a ton. I love this app, because I can’t find anything else designed like it, but in order for it to really be useable it can’t glitch out like this… 💔

Can you please fix this.

The app keeps crashing and ejecting all of the soundfonts out of it when I don't use it for a while. It's very annoying. Can you please add a big patch that fixes it?

Stopped working?

I love this app and it’s really improved all of my GarageBand music projects but it randomly stopped working on my iPhone? Like every time I enter it it just crashes and sends me back to the Home Screen.

Currently unusable

I am an avid user of this app, as someone who is really used to garageband’s Ui being able to use SF2s is incredibly helpful. However I haven’t been able to use it for WEEKS because it keeps loop crashing on itself so hard GarageBand thinks it doesn’t even exist! If this issue was fixed it’d be a solid 3-4 star product but at the moment I can’t recommend this to anyone

Why does it keep crashing

On any Apple device besides iPhones, the app keeps on crashing and every time you open it it just closes the app, and anytime you open the app back up it does the same thing. I would like you guys to get this fixed ASAP!!! Still works on phones though, just letting you know

Convenient, but tedious.

It is incredible at providing new SoundFonts to GarageBand, but it crashes way too often. Sometimes, the app would forget about my added fonts, and replace it with sine waves, and I would have to manually change every single track back to its original sound. So, be prepared to do that again and again when you download the app.

SoundFonts version 2.30.2

Although this works great on iPadOS, this app STILL won't validate as an AU using Logic Pro on macOS as of October 30, 2024. Please look into this or change the description of the app so users no longer get the impression the plugin works on desktop. Thank you.

Response from developer

Apologies for this. I have submitted an update that should restore this functionality.
