Improved stability and reliability in this latest update.
No complaints as simple MIDI file playback software ★★★★★
Yamaha’s MidRadio Player, the High Sierra built-in GM synth has stopped ringing. I tried searching for a substitute application, but few decent things. TMidity’s Cocoa version, etc., interface is too old and hard. There is another cheap player application on the Mac App Store, but that was very hard to use. I do not feel like buying Sweet Plug Player because it costs more than 3,000 yen.
This application is saved, because you can normally play GM without excess or deficiency. The quality of SC – xx – like sound source is also necessary enough. Switching MIDI output destinations can be done quickly, and channels can be turned on and off easily. Meter and BPM are also displayed, and there is no problem with seeking. As a decent MIDI SMF player with 64 bit compatibility, it may be one of this choice for now.

Thank you for the music ★★★★★Got hold of an ancient Roland Atelier with misbehaving screen and wanted to check the midi. Sibelius wouldn’t output to it. Quick Time doesn’t work any more, why? Most other programs use Mac sound sources. MidiplayerX to the rescue. Only one crash so far.
Very fast support ★★★★★
Had a problem with my reading expertise. I mean, when I see push on a door, I’m supposed to pull, right? However, when I emailed them that my music wouldn’t cycle to the next song, they answered right away (even on New Years Day, I might add) to keep clicking autoplay until it turns blue. They weren’t smart alecks and didn’t tell me to go back and read the instructions, dummy. For two bucks this is a great program.
It works ★★★★
I have not had any problems with this as it plays midi files.
It just works ★★★★★
Easy to use and it works great!
TipTop. ★★★★★Well thought-out fast program without unnecessary ballast. Loop delay-free and works perfectly, even with external MIDI-sounders.Google translated
Quick easy way to play midi files on a Mac. Great little App ★★★★
I came across this program yesterday and decided to buy it as I wanted a quick and easy way to send midi to the open source program Sonic Pi which is just adding midi in/out facilities in its development version. I liked the easy way of routing midi to the available ports from the popup menu on the small uncluttered screen, and the convenient link on the window menu to access the Mac’s Aduio Midi setup utility. When playing midi you get a clear indication of output on a channel basis, together with an indication of time signature and tempo setting. A nice feature is being able to use the up and down arrows to change the tempo very easily, even as the piece is playing. I made use of the loop facility to play a looping midi piece repeatedly as a backing track with which to work in Sonic Pi. I would give the app a 5 rating, but I reduce it to 4 as the loop is not a true loop in the midi sense, but rather just restarting the file immediately when it finishes playing, so there is a slight glitch in tempo on the first beat on the repeat. However this is a small point, and for most people will probably not be too signficant. You can also use the loop function to play a sequence of midi files “dropped” onto the MidiPlayer screen, one after the other. Actually if I could I would rate it about 4.8. It is a great little app and well worth the £1.99 I would also say that I raised the “glitch” with the company and had a quick detailed response, with a willingness to look at it on their development list, so great support as well.
MIDIPlayer X v2.2, with new AutoPlay enhancements for Repeat and Advance, is now available.
New Features
• Expanded AutoPlay to include auto-advance mode to play all loaded files in succession.
• Expanded AutoPlay with repeat mode to continuously repeat the selected file.
Fixes and Improvements
• Fixed a bug that caused Track and/or SysEx indicators to sometimes display incorrectly when a new file is selected.
Does exactly what it says it does. ★★★★
It’s billed as a MIDI player and that’s exactly what it does. Very simple. The only thing it doesn’t do is display text material that may be found in the MIDI file. Some people who create MIDI files devote a track or two to the title of the piece, composer, person who sequenced it, or other useful information. This player displays only the first 35 characters of the title. If it did a better job with that part of the MIDI data, it would be perfect for me.
