...and dropped in price too!
It's 8 bucks now, that the sale price or the regular one?
Edit: Btw, I'm unfortunately stuck using an iPad Air, have anyone experienced more crashes when using this and larger soundfonts on the Air? The Air having a lot less ram available then the other iPads I mean...
$8.99 down to $7.99... not much of a sale but hey
Oh. More of a price nudge to get it noticed on all the app trackers out there. But yea...a buck is a buck
Hey ChrisG: is the Air really that bad? iPad 4 is pretty stable with most music apps, even in Auria I can push things quite far - though I do keep an eye on the RAM meter.
Yeah. I saw the regular price in AppShopper and when I pushed "buy" I saw the discount in the Store. LOL.
Only a buck (or euro), but enough to get Monotone Delay too...
Finally added BS-16i to the collection. For some reason searching the forum for it does not return any results and I know there have been many SF2 links posted here. Wasn't there a recent symphony one? I know about Hammersound and googling soundfont but can someone point me to that recent one? Thank you.
@richardyot Yea it's quite bad. There are obviously a lot of factors to look at when judging RAM usage and iOS killing apps. But generally speaking you can take the numbers you get on your iPad 4 and subtract ~30%. At least.
But even with the ~30% subtraction, it's still much, much better than an iPad 2 or original iPad Mini as far as RAM goes.......
I can inactivate around 300mb on the iPad 2. Maybe up to around 170-180mb or so more on the Air. Both on same iOS. So not that much better. Especially for a tablet that is a three generations newer device.

@ChrisG That's strange! The iPad 2 has 512 MB of RAM. I thought that the newer iPads had 1Gb of RAM. Is the Air allocating more RAM to the OS? Why would you have such low RAM?
Cos Apples engineers are drunk monkeys.
Thank you, @PaulB !
@Audiojunkie Because there's a 20-30% RAM penalty for switching to 64-bit. Nothing to do with Apple Engineers, everything to do with Apple Financiers. Too cheap to double the RAM to 2GB as they should have. Of course if they did that now what would they sell you next year?
So what are you guys saying? I was gonna treat myself to an iPad Air for Xmas (have gen 4 today). Should i keep my old instead?
That's up to you. But I will say that I have not had any RAM issues with my Retina Mini whatsoever, but maybe I'm not pushing it as hard as ChrisG. The CPU performance increase is just fantastic though.
Not sure what model you have right now. If it's anything older than an iPad 4, upgrade, no question, if you were planning on it anyway. If you currently have an iPad 4, think about whether you can hold off for a little while.
@ChrisG
Well my friend, it being the holiday season and all, I've decided that I would be willing to trade you my iPad 3 with 1GB of memory and an efficient 32 bit processor to help you squeeze every last bit from the RAM...
I know, I know, it's a generous offer I'm making , but were all here to help each other out right?

But even with that, the numbers don't add up.
iPad 2: 512 MB RAM
iPad Air: 1024 MB RAM - ~30%
How is @ChrisG ending up with "less RAM than an iPad 2"?
Thanks. But the Air is kinda the new iPad 3. Apple apparently only get the specs right on every other iPad, so I'll keep the Air
@ChrisG How do you inactivated 300mb on ipad2 and what do you use to test it?
Not less ram, around 170-180mb more if I'm lucky. But relatively, it's less. Apples engineers and financiers are drunk monkeys. There you go
@mgmg There are a bunch of various "ram cleaners" on the store, try out a bunch of em to see which works best for you (cMemory, Sys-activity and so on). And I use Auria to confirm the available RAM, wave machine labs did a good job at getting quite reliable ram and CPU readings from iOS so..
@ChrisG Ah, but there IS more than the iPad 2...... So things COULD be worse. :-) I'm still stuck on an iPad 2 (can't afford the upgrade this year)......
@ChrisG thanks.
Well I've gone from iPad 1 to 3 to 4 and now to Air - no such problems so far. Maybe I'm a careful driver ;-) I regularly have lot's of synths and stuff running in the background through IAA no problem.
Thanks for the tip on the memory apps Chris, I just downloaded cmemory and for the first time ever I have 425 meg available in auria. This is on an ipad 4 so it doesn't sound that much more than what you get on the air to me.
The Air will rarely even reach 300mb in Auria (plus I think you can boost that number on your iPad 4 a lot by running cmemory on aggressive settings a few times until it kills of around 30-40 processes)
Ah OK, in that case it really is 30% less
The ram is the Achilles heel of the air I do agree but an ipad 4 or below performing better is poppycock
Hi. What app (different that GoodReader) is good to send sf2 files to this app?
