Description
bismark bs-16i is a 16 multi-timbral playback sampler. It loads SoundFont and DLS (Downloadable Sounds) as WaveTable and can be used for keyboard instruments, MIDI sound modules, and MIDI file players.
bs-16i has the synthesizer engine that has been adopted for many professional/commercial types of equipment. Using SoundFont / DLS libraries, you can play with your great number of instruments. With Hi-Res Engine option prepared as an In-App purchase option enables high-quality and low-noise audio outputs by 100% floating-point calculations.
All standard MIDI messages are supported, and your iPhone and iPad can be used as a GM (General MIDI) sound module by using pre-installed GeneralUser GS SoftSynth v1.44.sf2 (S. Christian Collins).
As a keyboard instrument, you can play with the scalable screen keyboard, pitch bend wheel, and many control change controllers.

Ratings and Reviews
Excellent sounds, a soundfont player rather than synth?
I think it’s correct to call this a soundfont player, that it plays carefully processed samples as opposed to creating sounds by synthesis? It’s incredibly good anyway. The grand piano’s amazing, and there’s whole drumkits in here, and the slap bass guitar is pretty persuasive too, in the right octave, you do have to literally hit the key with some velocity, too! Reverb and delay built-in, a great instrument, compact and easy to like, love it.
Developer Response ,
Thanks!
Affordable, good sounds and easy to use
Many great real instruments come as standard but after downloading some free 3rd party sounds fonts (soundfonts4u) this is now my go to app for piano and orchestral sounds. It may have been around for a while but sounds fantastic to my ears. Thanks.
Rather good, better than expected
I thought this app would be ok.
It turns out that it's rather good.
Downloaded a few SoundFont banks to add to the already
Great amount of presets...
Got this a few days ago, and I can't fault it,
There was one very small issue with the fine tune in AUv3
I messaged the developer on Saturday, Tuesday there was an update including a fix for it.... how good is that? ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Very impressed, now I have to buy the synth engine....
or maybe they will get a half price sale??????
My view get this, you won't regret it
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
