bismark bs vs JAX MIDI ModulePlayer

bismark bs-16i is a professional AUv3 SoundFont sampler for iOS and iPadOS. Use it as a powerful plug-in instrument inside your favorite DAWs. bs-16i is powered by a synthesizer engine adopted in professional and commercial audio equipment. With the optional Hi-Res Engine, it delivers extremely clean, low-noise sound using 100% floating-point audio processing. Load SoundFont (.sf2) and DLS libraries and access a vast collection of instruments. A General MIDI–compatible setup is included by default with "GeneralUser GS SoftSynth" by S. Christian Collins. AUv3 plug-in features: • Works as an AUv3 instrument in Logic Pro, GarageBand, AUM, and other compatible hosts • Automation-ready parameters • Designed for both iPhone and iPad workflows App features: • Scalable on-screen keyboard • Pitch bend wheel and CC controllers • Built-in SMF (Standard MIDI File) player • USB and Bluetooth MIDI support Connect external MIDI keyboards, controllers, and sequencers, or drive bs-16i from other apps using Virtual MIDI. Common (AUv3 and App) features: • 16-part multitimbral playback • Full support for standard MIDI messages • SoundFont, DLS, MIDI, and Scene files are managed in the “bs-16i” folder on iCloud Drive and automatically synced across all your iOS, iPadOS, and macOS devices. iCloud Drive and local storage can be selected for each Scene. Notes: • To load SoundFont or DLS files, sufficient free memory exceeding the file size is required. • This application collects the following information: device name, OS version, SoundFont/DLS file name, and Core MIDI interface name.

There is a manual at: https://midi.digitster.com/JAX%20MIDI/JAX%20MIDI%20ModulePlayer.pdf And a demonstration video at: https://youtu.be/DKwRxcfgy8s JAX MIDI Module & Player can be used as a GM/GS (General MIDI) compatible multi-timbre synthesizer for playing live or as a file player. It is usable as a sound module for external MIDI signals and as audio unit for usage in any host application, which supports Apples AUv3 format. With JAX MIDI Module & Player you can load available standard MIDI files and just play them back. It has inbuilt a fully featured GM/GS synthesizer with over 370 different instruments and drum sets, which is also playable in realtime on 16 MIDI channels simultaneously. The module works like the classic external hardware modules of the late 90s. If used as an audio unit, the MIDI stream is passed thru, so that other apps (like synthesizers and drum machines) can profit from the file playback. Internal sound generation can muted with the main volume slider. Important GM MIDI controllers are supported and also displayed for overview. The playing state of all channels is displayed in realtime. For JAX MIDI Module & Player, you may create your own MIDI files with notes with any external MIDI editor that can create standard MIDI files format 0 or 1, with controllers and tempo changes and all and then play back thru it with the internal or any external instrumentation. AudioUnits (AUv3) require a supporting host application to perform. But our app is able to perform as a standalone host for the embedded unit and provide basic Core MIDI functionality for communicating outside the sandbox. This build is truly 'universal', meaning, the unit is available for: - MacOS (Silicon M1) - iOS (iPhone) - iPadOS (iPads) Note: We now will separate the native macOS release (Mac Catalyst) from the iOS universal release, because native macOS releases need special optimizations. There also will be different prices for the native macOS apps. Making AUv3 technology available across all devices (for usage with GarageBand, Logic Pro X, MainStage 3 on the Mac), is quite a challenge. And we have chosen to deliver the releases across all devices instead of asking multiple times for money. Our builds come with latest technology support for all Apple devices (at the point of release). We therefore always develop with latest Apple frameworks and compilers. But we try to keep the compatibility at minimum requirements as far as even possible. Especially the latest M1/2/3 and cross platform optimizations forced us to drop all the legacy device support (below iOS 14). This is also true for all our older apps, which will be updated step by step to reflect the latest technologies.
