Please contact me by mail. I can't help and reply, when you write only an App store comment! See user feedback below. To improve sound quality, use an external Sound Module or for example the App Roland 'Sound Canvas'. All instruments of the 'Sound Canvas' (SC-8820) are selectable. You can map all 128 GM instruments to other SC-8820 instruments.
As QuickTime Player does not support MIDI playback, either, as it seems, I am looking for a method to play MIDI files, preferably not using GarageBand, which seems to be the only software on my computer that actually supports the MIDI file format. Audio File Players. - Sweet MIDI Player for Mac OS X. Use its mixer-like interface to easily edit the control messages, transpose the music, change the tempo, mute desired MIDI channels, and save the end results to disk.Display the lyrics available in MIDI Karaoke files.
Features of the 'MIDI file player/recorder': - MIDI files must be in the shared iTunes folder - Plays MIDI files - Records MIDI files - 10 play lists (add, remove and move items) - Auto next and random playing (MIDI file list and play lists) - Loop function (wait time is adaptable by long pressing on loop button) - MIDI Bluetooth LE supported (e.g. Yamaha MD-BT01) - All instruments of the Roland 'Sound Canvas' (drum set included) can be mapped to the General MIDI instruments.
- Plays and records at the same time e.g. For muting channels in a MIDI file - Can be used as virtual instrument for your MIDI master keyboard, MIDI accordion etc. - Plays and records additional instruments at the same time (needs MIDI interface like 'iRig MIDI' and a MIDI instrument) - You can change instruments, volume, reverb, chorus and panorama for each channel - Transpose MIDI file (-5 to +6 half tones) - Local sound ON/OFF - MIDI Thru ON/OFF - Show system exclusive messages (SYSEX) ON/OFF - Filter SYSEX messages ON/OFF - Notify text field for informations - Easy file selection and possibility to find or rename MIDI files - Send MIDI file by Mail - Automatic file import (e.g. From internet), when you chose 'open in MIDI player' - Customer 'SoundFont' can be placed in the shared iTunes folder.
The name must be 'GM_instruments.sf2' and it must support the general MIDI sound set including drums. Large 'SoundFont' files may not work. Use very small 'SoundFonts', when you have an older iPhone or iPad. For this devices you can try e.g. The 'bennetng_AnotherGS_v2-1.sf2' - Integrated Help - Background playing - 32 chord types are detected and displayed - The chords can be detected on all channels or only on a specific one Known problems: - No sound: Is the silent switch set to OFF or volume too low? - MIDI files using nearly all 16 channels and a lot of resources may not sound correctly.
Try to mute some channels/instruments. This happens only, when using 'Local sound' and some instruments (e.g. Strings, synth pad, effects).
- The sound quality is lower for older iPhones and iPads due to the smaller SoundFont size. If some MIDI files do not sound correctly, please use a small SoundFont like the 'Scc1t2.sf2'. On some devices (older iPhones or iPads) the 'Bagpipe' sounds wrong in my ears. Some user feedback: Perfect * * * * * by Altoblues – Apr 11, 2018 A really useful app for choir members. The ability to mute some parts, transpose, and alter the pace of the music is great. Fantastic * * * * * byMoorlander - Sep 13, 2015 That said, not found any better apps for the function (and I've tried 6 now, free and paid), so great work, many thanks!
