To change pitch-bend steps in BS-16i, tap the "Tune" button above the instrument title. This brings up a P.B. Range button. To draw in a pitch bend via midi in BM2, whether controlling BS-16i or an internal instrument, the process is the same:
While in the piano roll screen for a particular instrument select the Notes Edit tab in the lower right corner
Select Sampler, Pitch Bend
Draw in the pitch bend curve
This is tested working with BS-16i as of 5 minutes ago on an iPhone 4S. For smoothest control be sure to change the step-length to 1/96. Another method that works is to live record the pitch bend wheel within BM2. Changes will be applied to BS-16i.
To import midi files to BM2 from AudioShare use Dropbox:
Use "Open In" to move midi file to Dropbox
In BM2 use the sharing tab to access Dropbox and copy the midi file into a BM2 folder (the "+" tab will create a new BM2 folder).
In BM2's home screen tap the "+" symbol to the right of mute/unmute on a track to access the "import midi" option and select your midi file
Any other questions I would be happy to answer. By all means get an iPad but until then you should be able to do just about anything that you want to do between BM2 and Audiobus.
I suspect the main reason that apps aren't universal is due to the iPhone's screen size.
Exactly. I think that BM2 did a great job but now has encountered lots of complaints about the interface when compared to iPad-only apps. Maybe a solution for BM3 would be to have separate versions for iPad/ iPhone. Then people would complain about having to pay twice I guess. There's no pleasing everyone
No such thing on my copy of bs-16i.
On an iPhone/iPod, you hit the Control button first.

Yes! Sorry I left that step out. Thanks PaulB!
Cool. Oddly enough, I can't seem to find the parts in the MIDI files that we're giving me the pitch-bend issues... I'm sure I'll run into them again (I'd better, what for going on about it and all!), but thank you for that info... it helps a lot!
Awesome happy to help man. Good luck with the tunes
Another question about bs-16i: now that I know how to (temporarily) alter a few CC #'s (like the pitch bend talk above) how do I access one of the other 16 instrument channels - in Keyboard mode it's always set on 1 and I'd like to mess around with any of the other ones, if I can get steered in the right direction...
Using BM2 as a virtual midi controller it's pretty easy:
In BS-16, tap the mixer icon, 2nd button to the right in the top left corner. Here you have your 16 channels on 2 pages. Tap on the instrument name to chose an instrument.
In BM2, add as many keyboard instruments as you want with EMPTY PRESET selected. Then tap the midi button which appears in the next window and turn INPUT to NONE and OUTPUT to whichever channel you want to hear played back from BS-16i.
Also you can set up your own instruments in BM2 by sampling voices from your favorite apps and then mapping them, that's what I do to save on CPU.
Cheers
Thank you for the response, @DarbyA. I have done what you've said before, and I'm always taken to choose an instrument sound for that channel, but it doesn't seem to set that particular channel back in Keyboard mode. I must be missing some functionality...
And I'm still a ways away from dipping my toes into the the MIDI interfacing - in fact, I never really had to deal with any of that sort of thing, since I preferred hardware workstations that did more than anything I ever had the need to apply. But it's on my iOS bucket list... conquering one app at a time!
As far as I know switching the keyboard's midi channel isn't possible in BS-16i for iPhone @Brain, at least I couldn't figure it out. Hope that the above is helpful when you start with virtual midi. Hardware surely has a lot of advantages.
Go into settings (the cog button), select Keyboard, then Part. You should be able to select a different channel.
It's actually in the Synthesizer menu not Keyboard. You pick each part in Keyboard menu but in synth menu you pick the midi channel for each part.
Yes, but parts 1,2,3, etc. are set to channels 1,2,3, etc. by default, so either method works just fine.

That is what I was looking for! I had already been on that page, but at the time never connected it to doing what I was looking to do now - it seems as if that capability should be accessible on the Keyboard/et al. screens.
I have a related(?) question: I have been DLing MIDI files off the 'net to 'Open In' to audition in bs-16i; a number of them can't be deleted from bs-16i for some reason... others no problem. Is there a way to delete them other than using the UI controls?
In order to delete a file in bs-16i, it must not be in use... so change the "song" to another one. The same goes for sf2 files.
iFunbox? And what @bixnood said...
That does work, but it seems to me that I was trying to delete more than one file when attempting this a time or two before and they couldn't all have been the song that was loaded, so... just a tad confused. Thank you!
And the only iFunbox I ever found was not the one that gets mentioned 'round these parts...
Because iFunbox is not an iOS app but a PC/Mac application.
Sorry, my bad, it's an iTunes substitute.
