best sampler on ios so far!
@rayNmanmusic
so cold! if you are like me and have beatmaker 2 and need more sounds then this is that one! it needs to run in the background and virtual midi support tho. had issues were the sf patches wouldnt stay on channel 3. but still on my iphone4 and ipad2 this thing is like the one on pc!
A solid app

Wow, is this good. If you have a lot of Soundfont sounds, you must get this. I have thousands, including all the Emu series. This app handles soundbanks perfectly. Just a solid app that does exactly what it says, perfectly. Now, IMHO the developers of Nanostudio and Beatmaker 2 should rush to be the one to have this developer integrate this excellent instrument into their software. It would expand the usefulness of their software dramatically. Now, update to virtual midi support.
Nice app

I love that an app finally came out that supports sound fonts! My only request is to add the ability to enlarge the keys, and I can gladly give it 5 stars!
Great app

This app is a must buy for anyone who plays music live. Please add support for the Akai synthstation 25.
Still thumbs down even with update

I bought the first version for 4.99. Waste of money unless you're into sound fonts. Now the developer has upped the price. Don't buy it. There is a bank of sound fonts in the update but of poor quality, IMO. Still no help file AT ALL and no user forum. This developer does not have his/her act together. Save money and aggravation and go buy ThumbJam. The samples are awesome, there's support and many more features.

The update is great. The inclusion of a soundfont that has dozens of sounds should help for people that don't have any soundfonts. The interface could still use a little work. But i am grateful for this app that makes it possible to take my library of thousands of high quality soundfonts on the road. Keep up the good work! For people that don't know, one of the reasons this app is superior is that your database of sounds is almost limitless. There are tons of quality soundfonts you can find online for free, if you don't already have any. Cheers!
Useful.

Sound fonts open a whole world of sound. This program is controllable via virtual midi and external keyboards.
Great app!

I needed a multi-timbral synth for my iPad... checked out a few and went with this one. No regrets at all. It comes with some good sounds but what I really love is I can import my own soundfonts. Its got two keyboards, mixing options and lots of other nice stuff too, but I wish you could save a set up, patch or instrument channel assignment... hopefully we will get this in a future update. Thanks for a great program... love it.
Never worked with Soundfonts till now

Amazing music app! Bought this on sale during the holidays and must say that the sounds are pretty good and the UI is very is easy to work with IMO. I can use Midi Bridge to play bismark with my Synthstation 25 easily! Another thing I can do is use Jordan Rudess's Geo Synth, route it to the Midi Bridge app, go into bismark and turn on virtual midi and route channel to trigger both sounds from the Geo Synth screen. It took me a little bit to figure it out, but Midi setup is fairly easy compared to most apps. Last but not least the import of Soundfonts is awesome! I have never used Soundfonts before, but they sound just as good as WAV if not better. Great app and thanks for dropping the price for the Holiday season.
Audiobus in the house!

Fully functional with Audiobus to record sequenced sound into your iOS DAW of choice, Folder Management for Organization of Soundfonts and Midi files! It also has 'Scenes' to save your layouts for different song projects so you can recall them on the fly! This was one of the first solid midi equipped apps to run 16 channels of midi without a hiccup! I sequenced this app with everything from a Commodore64 to a MPC. As a day 1 user and supporter of this app, I can now say that it is COMPLETE! Bravo!
