Very useful for previewing all my midi file loops ★★★★
I was looking for an app to quickly preview all my midi file loops, and this one is almost perfect. It picks up that drums are drums, so I can hear similar to what I’m going to use them for. I say almost perfrect because it doesn’t loop drum loops correctly, missing part of a beat at the end. But it’s not the end of the world, as at least it gives me the idea of which loops I need to use.
Excellent General Midi ★★★★★
Of course, if you open the file in a heavy app like Garage Band, the quality will always be superior, but this app gives me the opportunity to quickly test and listen to Midi files downloaded from the internet. Perfect!

Huge time-saver ★★★★★
I have a 32-year-old Roland U-20 keyboard, and after I had the internal battery changed, the keyboard lost all of its default patch data (the display showed nonsense characters, and wouldn’t play any internal instruments). The Roland company sent me a .MID file and instructions on how to set the U-20 to receive the default patches. I simply added a Roland U-20 device to MIDI Studio on the Mac, and connected the MIDI In and Out ports to an internal Mac MIDI device. MIDIPlayer X was extremely simple to use: I turned off Auto-Play and sent the data to the U-20. Problem solved, without spending weeks trying to figure out one of those complicated software sequencers.
Precisely what I needed. ★★★★★
I have Logic Pro X. I bought 3rd party midi files. Importing them is doable but slow and not very “user friendly”. So, I bought MidiPlayer X to get a quick listen, in order to decide what to import. Works great! Very fast, simple, intuitive. Just what I needed.
Brilliant! Just what I needed to preview MIDI quickly ★★★★★
I work with EZKeys on a Mac. I have been given a dump of MIDI file and need to rename them all based on their characteristics. Since MIDI preview is no longer available in OS X, I was using EZKeys, but it’s a slow process, plus it only uses piano sounds which doesn’t help with drum parts. With MIDIPlayer X, I literally just drag the loop into the window and it immediately starts playing. NICE. It is well worth the price I paid considering the time it saves me.
Great for previewing MIDI files ★★★★★
Just drag-and-drop a file and start listening to it. Do the same with a whole folder and go from one file to the other with the click of a button.
Very useful app ★★★★★
Easy to use app for playing midi files. Can drop individal files, multiple files or folders onto MidiPlayerX (but not folders containing subfolders). When previewing multiple files, the name of only the current file being played is displayed, with arrows to move to next/previous file. To preview files in a large collection, the simplest way is to first Change All midi files to Open with MidiPlayer X (rt-click a midi file, then select Get Info for the option), then simply open a Folder of midi files in Finder, then Double-click each file in turn to preview them.
Where have you been all my life?! ★★★★★
It works brilliantly, buy it if you use midifiles of any kind, seamless playback without tweaking, thank you so much for this!
Exactly what I needed ★★★★★
MIDIPlayer X is a great app for just playing MIDI files, which is exactly what I needed; I have other music apps that can play MIDI files, however, they also do lots of other things, so it is an overkill when I just want to enjoy my MIDI files. Also, MIDIPlayer X uses OS X/macOS’s built-in synth, which is based on (or at least sounds just like) Roland’s Sound Canvas; this is what I used when sequencing my MIDI songs, so MIDIPlayer X allows my MIDI songs to sound just like they do on my external Roland synth, something that GarageBand does not do so well. Great functionality at a great price!
