Works as advertised ★★★★★

If you need a simple MIDI player, this is it!

Nice, basic MIDI player! List view & m3u support would be helpful. ★★★★

There isn’t much to say, regarding the basic funtionality- it is clean and functions as described, as in, it plays MIDI files, so no complaints in that regard. 😄 The UI is intentionally simple and straighforward, but perhaps to a fault, in one particular way—Though you can drag-and-drop a folder, or multiple files, and they will play sequentially, there is no way to see which song/file is currently playing, how many files are enqueued, or view and adjust the order in which they play, short of manually renaming all files in a folder to a sequential numbering scheme. While I love the simplicity of this application, it would be extremely helpful, while working with collections of MIDI files, if a list view would appear below the transport controls, when multiple files are loaded. Ideally a playlist file could also be loaded and saved from this view (just a text file, containing an ordered list of files, with or without an absolute path).

Exactly what I needed ★★★★★

I needed an app to quickly play MIDI. Just drag and drop a file in, and hit play. Fast, and it works great. This is how apps should be!

EXCELLENT ! ★★★★★

Very handy for checking tempo and time signatures of MIDI files because it launches instantly. Also handy is it showing the active tracks and the activity of each. I used to have to open a bloated editor to get this info, but now with this I can do it instantly! Thank you dev!

Perfect balance of MIDI playback features ★★★★★

This has become my goto app for quick playback / review of one, or many, MIDI files. Lots of essential features packed into a great looking UI!

Love it ★★★★★

Close to the 90 synth sound. Great for any GM and GS midi files. Good color and tone.

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.
