Gestrument and Zvon soundfonts

[zvon]

I am happy to announce that the Version 1.2.3 of Gestrument includes a demo soundfont with 5 of my sounds.

Gestrument is a unique instrument for iPad that can play up to 8 voices with 1 finger. These voices can be soundfonts loaded in it or any app that supports virtual MIDI.

Other new features of Version 1.2.3:
• Handle MIDI continue and song position pointer messages in slave sync mode
• Stop all active notes at midi sync stop
• New About box
• Handle audio session interrupts
• Fix midi-panic button in slave sync mode
• Allow Done button to be tapped while midi or synth settings is open in the editor

The larger demos of my soundfonts for it can be downloaded from the pages below.
- Chromatic Hits, Julie Resynth and the new Prepared Ep soundfont: http://lesproductionszvon.com/for_iOS.htm
- Marching Band Horn: http://lesproductionszvon.com/marching_band_horn.htm

Here are 2 videos I made using the full versions of my soundfonts. In the first one, the Julie Resynth and Marching Band Horn soundfonts are used directly in Gestrument.

In this one, the Chromatic Hits soundfont is played by the Bismark bs-16i app contolled by Gestrument.
