bismark bs-16i

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. The engine included as default, includes the high-quality and low-noise audio outputs by 100% floating-point calculations.

All standard MIDI messages are supported, and your Phone and Tablet 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.

The internal MIDI file player supports SMF (Standard MIDI File) format as Song.

WaveTable / Song files can be imported from your Google Drive, Dropbox, etc.

Moreover, this application supports MIDI interfaces via USB and Bluetooth. With them, you can communicate with other external MIDI hardware like a synthesizer, or sequencer. Also, bs-16i can be a background and drive from other apps using MIDI.

Please be careful that the sound latency depends on each Android phone/tablet. So, this app is distributed as a free app and can be tested with all features free until 5 min from app launch. If it is OK for you, please remove this time limitation by In-App Purchase.
