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).

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.

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.
Get it
Ok, I start with an admission of ignorance. I’ve been buying synths and playing them for 40 years. (OMG). I got this a few years ago, loved it, couldn’t understand why the sounds were so good. Then I discovered the world of Soundfonts. This uploads and plays them. This is a GEM.
