    I like it quite a bit but I have nice soundfonts I've collected over the years.

    There's a lot of junk sf2 files in the wild I'd say 5-10% are useable and 1% are great.

    I use it for acoustic instruments if I'm in a situation I don't have cpu for beathawk (iPad air, very old)

    Perhaps, but you are totally forgiven, @Poppadocrock!

    As a life-long journalist, I should have known to make sure every fact reported has at least two independent sources.

    Considering all the awesome contributions you have made to the forum, it's certainly a minuscule mistake in an otherwise stellar fourum record! 😊

    Cheers. Thanks for the kind words. You’re great part of this community as well.

    Anyone ever figure out if the IAPs are on sale?

  • SNystromSNystrom

    I believe there were posts earlier in the thread stating the IAPs were not on sale.

    However, I'm not an owner of the app, so I could be wrong...

    So can SoundFonts sound as good as multi-layered sample-based instruments?

    My feeling is that SoundFonts are considered a curiosity and taken less seriously for music production. But TBH, some of the sounds seem pretty darn good. Haven't done AB listening with them vs. other sounds on my monitors yet to say much more.

    Of course they can! They support keymaps, many velocity layers and loads of samples per preset. They don't sound better nor worse than Kontakt, EXS24 or whatever.

    Thanks. I need to take another look. I downloaded a few recommended files years ago, turned away from iOs music a few years, and just came back this year after getting a 512G iPad Mini. So I have no issues downloading big SoundFont files if the sounds are pretty good.

    Dumb question... why don't we hear more about this technology? Not enough money in it for app makers somehow?

    It’s just not new, advanced, or particularly interesting. It’s a bread “n butter basic standard file format that’s been around forever. There isn’t a lot you can do to make a sound font player work better or different than any other.

    I posted this years ago in a thread about strings samples, but it’s relevant here. This demo is pure bs-16i using layered squidfont strings samples in sf2 format. No other processing. I think the dynamics and nuances are pretty good.

    One thing that bs-16i lacks is direct from disk streaming. If you use large SF2 presets or multiple instances, memory can get low - up to crashing the host if free mem is exhausted.
    AudioLayer does that well, and I think to remember that there are other sound font "players" that support disk streaming too.
