bismark m16 vs GM MIDI Player

bismark m16 is a MIDI player app that loads SMF (Standard MIDI File) for the GM (General MIDI) specification as Song files. Song files are managed in the "m16" folder of your iCloud Drive and kept in sync across all your iOS / iPadOS devices. You can also bring MIDI files in directly from other apps using "Open in m16" or the Files app. 16 icons across the top of the main screen represent the 16 MIDI channels. Tap once or twice on an icon to mute or solo that channel. Long-press an icon to open the Part editor, where you can adjust volume, pan, reverb send, chorus send and delay send, and choose the instrument for each part. During playback, the icons show live performance information in piano roll, circle or MIDI analyzer view. Along the bottom of the screen are transport buttons and a slider for play/stop, seeking the song position, and changing key and tempo. Now Playing information — including elapsed time and playback state — is also shown on the Lock Screen and in Control Center. m16 supports background MIDI playback, so you can play along on your favorite instrument app while m16 plays the backing track behind it. m16's built-in synthesizer plays through the GeneralUser GS SoundFont. If you'd rather use your own gear, m16 can send its output over CoreMIDI, or Bluetooth MIDI to external modules and other Virtual MIDI compatible apps — and can even hand off playback entirely to bismark's companion synthesizer app, bs-16i, for a wider range of instrument sounds.

MIDI Still Lives! (Note: This is one of the first iOS apps we ever made and we still use it very often and want to share this pleasure with you. MIDI files remain fascinating and must never die!) GM MIDI Player is a free app for playing standard MIDI files (SMF) with the file extension *.mid, which integrates seamlessly into the iOS operating system (version 11 and higher). A software synthesizer in GM / GS standard is built-in. Play all the MIDI files from the Internet or the file system of your iOS device and create and manage your own collections and share these with other apps and people. - seamlessly integrated into the iOS file manager (files app) - iCloud and file sharing supported - "Open with" and "Send to" integrated - plays nearly all MIDI files in SMF format 0 and 1 - contains already hand-picked MIDI files in different styles - integrated software synthesizer with sequencer - 16-times mutitimbral, 128-part polyphonic - Over 300 'instruments' and various drum maps - GM / GS standards supported - Background Audio playback and Notification Center Support - AirPlay support of audio playback - supports connected remote controls for pause / resume - Help file and integrated connection to other Internet resources - Creation and management of own playlists possible Note: GM MIDI Player can NOT output MIDI signals via CoreMIDI or somehow interact with other audio apps (IAA). Also, to create and edit GM compatible files, please use an external MIDI sequencer or editor that is specialized for this.
