Don’t bother using app. It doesn’t even have a shuffle mode or a way to randomly play your collection without building a playlist.
Thank you for these new features!??

Update: Retested a new file for FDS NSF and the wavechannel worked. Leaving this here to give future clarifications concerning the developer response. Clarified interface review. Overall, GaMBi isn’t a bad app and is extremely useful for the channel split and Audiobus support. So I’ll preface this review with the following: I’m a huge chiptune/emulation music fan. So this review is meant for the hardcore emulation music fans. Pros * channel separation: sometimes I just want to study a portion of a game soundtrack or listen to how a composer used which channel for what. Extremely cool feature and the main reason I bought the app * export feature: super cool to export music into their respective channels for post stuff * Audiobus support Cons * Interface feels a bit clunky. At times, It felt like I was fighting with the interface. I’m not quite sure how I feel about the whole synthwave interface. Not a deal breaker, but it does feel a bit strange. It did help I could keep it in the background and use the native iOS controls * VGM support: it sort of works, but fails on certain chips (arcade board, pc chips, etc). It seems to recognize the chip, but can’t play the audio. * No post audio tweaks: really wish I could change the interpolation for certain file types (SPC for example). I do appreciate the treble, bass, and reverb setting, but just wish there was a bit more. Bottom line: there are other chip player apps that have better compatibility, but lack the channel split function. If that is a function you really need, I’d say grab it. If you want something that will play pretty much whatever you throw at it, there are other players that will serve the function.
Please Update for iPhone X Max

Awesome app, loyal user. Please update for big phone screen sizes Also when a phone call comes in or another app that turns off the audio of Gambi opens, when resuming Gambi the audio is distorted. Playing either too fast or too slow, forcing me to force quit the app and reopen it Thank You for this app and I hope it continues to improve,?
Misleading promo video

Too good to be true. The app’s promo video makes it seem like it comes loaded with a ridiculous number of classic chiptune tracks from yesteryear. Not the case at all. I’m assuming there was a previous copyright violation issue and the unlicensed tracks had to be removed. There are no tracks from Sonic, Duck Tales, or Kirby. However, if you’re a fan of RoboCop you’re in luck. I can’t say for sure what the circumstances for the missing content because I don’t see any indication in the version history as to why the songs featured in the video aren’t in the actually app. The promo video should be updated to reflect accessible content. 1 star for inter-app audio (IAA) functionality. Just wish I could remix classic SEGA tunes in AUM without jumping through hoops to get the files into the darn thing. UPDATE: After looking through the online support materials I see there are ways to add files. Again, I bought the app expecting to have immediate access. There is no indication in the description on the App Store page, nor is there any indication in the promo video that this is the case. Updated from 1 star to 2 because with more effort it will be more useful and enjoyable.
Wonderful app !

Just what I needed for mixing chiptunes into my ios songs ! Only feature that I'd really like would be a way to import lsdj songs
A bit unfinished
Drum a lot.
Pretty good and I got my money's worth.Needs more of a selection.I want Tetris and Super Mario brothers added in a future update and to be able to create my own tunes even use the songs in my ITunes library.
Authentic and Full-Featured

This app does chip time playback (including multi-channel remixing) better than anything available for Mac. The ability to export to iTunes is a huge plus.
Must own for chiptune fans

If you make chiptune music or need a good game audio player get this right now. The ability to isolate channels and run through audiobus is priceless.
