3.9 out of 5
Can’t use as AU in BM3

bismarkbs16i holds a lot of potential.. if only it could actually work without crashing ... I’ve uploaded a lot of Soundfonts into mine only to be disappointed because bismarkbs16i constantly crashes in Beatmaker 3

Change to a newer IPad is not opening

I change my IPad , and not opening ? What can I do , even I tried to purchase again

Where’s the busy boy one?

I’ve been looking for busy boy on this so I can play a song and I can’t find it

The last few updates have broken it

Sessions I had in aum for years were rock solid until this update came out. Now they’re not loading correctly.

AUv3 version doesn’t recall soundfonts

2021 update: I ended up giving up on bismarkbs16i because the soundfont recall issue has been a known problem for years but has never been fixed. It's a shame because the bs16i has all of the features that the other soundfont apps for iOS lack.

Auv3 problem

Please send a new update for auv3 because I made some music with bismarkbs16i but right after this new update today the won’t load inside BeatMaker,nanostudio and others app pls send send an update for bismarkbs16i to load as auv3 due to sound selections I made when making music.

I hate the new update you guys did a week ago.

Idk what made you guys change the look. Now instead of just pressing an instrument to play it, I have to open the list then select instead of having the entire list on the left side with the knobs on the right. NOT A FAN OF IT, POINTLESS UPDATE.

Doesn’t save patches

I love this sampler but the main flaw that is annoying is that it never saves the patches I used in my projects. When I reopen up a project I’ve worked on using the bs-16i, I always have to reselect the sound patch i had for each track (if i remember) which most definitely hinders me from instantly starting back on a project. Fix this bug please. It will benefit me and everyone else that purchased this.

Cubasis issue

When I go to use the bs in cubasis as a multi TimbrAl instrument ... whether I load my own scenes in or not. Whenever I press stop in a project. The bs resets itself yo factory. No matter what I do. In cubasis. Latest iPad latest iOS. Fix that and I’ll buy every upgrade you have this thing sounds amazing.

Its great but have some issue

This is a great app over all. But we do have some issue. I purchased bismarkbs16i 2 weeks ago, and I couldn’t find it working with AUv3 in GarageBand. It’s suppose load in “Audio Init Extension” but instead it loaded in “Inter-app unit”, and I have no idea how to fix it. Though everything else worked fine, but I’m still trying to make it work.

shut down and restart your ios device, if too little ram

if you know the sf2 works with your device+bs16i, but you get an error, do a restart to clear ram.

Not a review

Anyone know how to get the sound Busy Boy???!

Please

I do not add it, the power to octave the instrument as in the part: tune, coarse of the semitones without loosing fidelity the sound...

EXCELLENT

Especially with the latest update!

I have been using bs-16i for a long time, and it works beautifully. It is very easy to import any sf2 file, either purchased ones such as Sound Factory files, or those you can make yourself with something like Polyphone.
The biggest negative I had was that bs-16i would not save the sound font setting with patch info in a host app, such as AUM; this required you to manually load the correct sound font, or make up a custom sound font that contains all the sounds you’d like to have on hand. With the latest update, this limitation is gone, and bs-16i is working like I have wanted it to all along.
BIG THANKS to the developer for getting this feature working!

Audio Unit Yay!

More than ever, bismarkbs16i should be in your toolkit if you make music of just about any genre on iOS.

Fix transpose

Is a good app but need to fix the transpose the tune option make bismarkbs16i sound like toy fix it and will be a awesome app

Must have app!

As you probably know the purpose of bismarkbs16i, I’ll just say that it does it very well. Extremely efficient app, was running several instances in AU mode without any issues. And I was using huge samples (1gb+) in all of them. Excellent developer!

One small request, if you could make the defaults, when starting a new instance, with all fx - Off, and volume at middle position, bismarkbs16i would simply be perfect! I always use various external fx, and the volume is a bit too loud by default. Thanks!

Work horse

For the keyboard parts I cover in my classic rock band, bismarkbs16i is indispensable, providing useful pianos, synths, and various hard-to-find instruments and sounds, like thunder and lightning, perfect for “Riders on the Storm.” Sometimes it gets jacked up by IOS updates, but these problems get resolved.

Amazing App for Musicians!

I have a sample library business and I’ve wanted to bring my Sounds to iOS for a long time. The soundfont format is old but simple to use and with BS-16i, I have successfully made around 4 SF2 soundfont libraries to be used with BS-16i!

Bismark and I have a great relationship and I look forward to bringing more soundfonts to be used with this incredible app!

Catch Busy Boy

Quick question. How do you get "Catch Busy Boy" because I wanna use it for "el paso del gigante" and I tried looking for it but couldn't find it.
