Frickable

This was a BIT better than a different AU soundfont player called “Fontstack”, however, the downside is that I CANNOT USE DRUMS ON ANY CHANNEL BUT 10, I NEED IT TO WORK ON ALL CHANNELS, WHY MAKE IT SO COMPLEX? FL STUDIO MOBILE DOES BETTER THAN THIS! I JUST WANT WHAT SOUNDFONT I CHOSE TO BE PLAYING! NOT COMPLETELY JAILBREAK THIS APP! PLEASE SIMPLY! I ALSO DO NOT WANT REVERB!

Wavetables not working

Everything works but the only thing that doesn’t is the wavetables every time I try to press library on the app freezes. This only happens on my iPad when I do it on my phone it works perfectly

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.

Response from developer

Version 5.0.6 resolved the issue. I apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused.

It’s goated but

It still crashes. I have no idea what keeps causing this and It’s pissing me off. It feels like the system wants me to blame this. Either that or it’s just my storage. It’s still really good but note to self: don’t use too much of it.

外部音源として使用する際の不具合

このアプリで自分の中で革命が起きました。

しかしながら、不具合(?)が見つかったので報告させていただきます。
(環境:iOS17.4のGarageBand)

外部音源として使用する際にbs-16i(Legacy)を選択すれば設定中のInstrumentの音が鳴ります。
しかしbs-16iを選択した時、他のKeyboard領域からコピー&ペーストしたデータの場合に設定中のInstrumentの音が鳴らずピアノの音になるという現象が起きております。

改善方法があればご教示いただけますと幸いです。

Response from developer

GarageBandでご利用になる場合には、Settings > Overwrite Input MIDI Channelを任意の値にご設定ください。bs-16i側は指定されたChannelのみ発音する格好となります。

Très bien mais…

Bug très pénalisant et toujours pas réglé dans la version iPad.
(Settings->Synthesizer->Part settings->Part #1 = Blocage total de l’App)

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 duration note is held. Also some organ effects like a “Wah” would be good if there isn’t one.

If possible, adding these features would be very helpful when designing sounds.

At the end, this is the best app, and definitely recommend to everyone

broken

i’ve used bismark bs-16i for about a year or two and ever since the implementation of the new version , neither the legacy nor the new version work properly as a plugin for garageband !! the soundfonts won’t load in either version and any project i have that has a soundfont crashes :(

Don’t work no more [Fixed]

Can’t load legacy edition no more in GarageBand. Nor can I here it in any of my songs that already had legacy edition tracks in it. Problem only happened this week.

And it’s fixed the next day, thanks.

help.

Now, in garageband, it refuses to open the unit extension and crashes the app when I load any songs that had used this extention.

Response from developer

Version 5.0.6 resolved the issue. I apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused.

The legacy version of your app doesn’t work.

So I use the legacy version of bs-16i for over half of all of my projects in GarageBand, and basically all of that is lost.
I can’t open projects in GB that I’ve used bs-16i’s Legacy Version on without the app crashing, I can’t even use the Legacy Version anymore, I don’t know what’s going on.
Please fix this, I am incredibly frustrated!

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.

bad exporting ability’s and search ability

it’s hard to export and find sounds i want a refund

Disappearing soundfonts

I love this app and have used it happily for several years. However, with the latest update, each time I open the app , all my soundfonts except the installed general midi have disappeared and I have to reinstall them. Is it because I don’t use ICloud and install them from my files app? Please fix this and I’ll give you at least 4 stars…

I love it, but…

When I play back the MIDI when I use it on GarageBand, notes will sometimes not play. even when I export the songs, a random note will just not play

Flawed overnight

Its recent change to Version 5 has left it completely useless in garageband, as I cannot understand what the deal is with the standard version, and the legacy version which I used to use doesn't display any of the soundfonts that are still in the app.
