JamKoo is a cool new iOS recorder and soundfont player built with AudioKit. It comes with 138 instruments and 7 Chinese musical instrument packages. It’s available for free in the app store until Oct 20th, 2019.
Shanghai, China based Developer Oscar Xie was inspired to build the app when one of his friends needed a handy app to load samples and record like a DAW. But, he wanted it to be super easy-to-use on the go with an iPhone. Oscar then discovered AudioKit, and worked hard to create this app.

Love the app. Using it with an EWI but I get crackling in the sound with the latest update. Changing buffer doesn’t help. Any thoughts? Seems to be midi related as it doesn’t happen with on screen keyboard.
