BS-16i works great for Midi file playback but it's realtime response can be 1-2 seconds. I see some that will load the Libraries but they need disk streaming to be used with your typical DAW. I can't find a cheaper alternative to play these 2-5GB Libraries on IOS.


If you have time and technical skills then dig deep into SFZ's but understand there's only one SFZ Sampler that can "disk stream" a Multi-Gigabyte sample library and it's in Auria Pro called Lyra. They are usually packages of General MIDI sounds with the typical assignments for every GM instrument which means they can be huge and still not have the best individual sound for a trumpet you seek to finish a track. Yes, SFZ/SF2 collections are free but they have come with a lot baggage. To get a perfect suite of sounds you're going to have to spend a lot.
