The fastest, easiest way to play MIDI files on your Mac. MIDIPlayer X will play any MIDI file to your choice of available MIDI outputs, either hardware or software, or to its own built-in GM-compatible virtual synth. Fast and elegantly simple to use via drag and drop – whether you need to check a single .mid file or audition hundreds, there's no faster easier method than MIDIPlayer X. Playback Controls MIDIPlayer X let’s you rewind and fast forward through your MIDI file. You can step through measure by measure or quickly jump to any location in the file with a simple mouse click. The counter provides a precise reference point, either bar : beat or min : sec, for location within your song. AutoPlay Flexible AutoPlay modes let you control if a file begins playback immediately when it is selected or waits for you to press play; repeats the selected file continuously; or automatically moves to the next file when the current file ends. Editing Features With MIDIPlayer X, you can change the playback tempo, plus mute or solo individuals channels within a MIDI file. After making any changes, you can save a new MIDI file with your edits. The next time you load your new file into MIDIPlayer X, your desired tempo and track mutes will load as you saved them. Speed and Convenience Features MIDIPlayer X accepts multiple files and folders via drag and drop, along with intuitive key commands to let you move efficiently through many files. Show in Finder let’s you quickly reference where you loaded any file from. Key Standard Features • Plays any Standard MIDI File • Works with your MIDI hardware and software • Built-in GM-compatible synth • Simple drag and drop operation Key Controls • Rewind, fast forward, and jump to any timeline location • Mute and Solo channels • Tempo control • Flexible counter for precise time references • Load multiple files and folders via drag and drop • Save customized MIDI files Made for your Mac MIDIPlayer X works with virtually all commercial MIDI hardware and software. It will auto-locate all available MIDI outputs, both hardware and virtual, so you can select your desired sound source. Easily switch playback between an external keyboard or sound module, or to other software instruments and apps inside your Mac. MIDIPlayer X includes its own software synth using Apple's CoreAudio technology. So even if you have no other MIDI hardware or software available on your Mac, you’ll always have a 16-part multitimbral, GM-compatible synth available. Drag and Drop Simplicity Simpy drag a file, a few files, a folder, or even multiple folders, from the Finder and drop them on to MIDIPlayer X. MIDIPlayer X will remember your last MIDI destination, and can automatically start playback eliminating extra clicks or keystrokes. MIDIPlayer X is especially handy since the Mac no longer plays MIDI files from the Finder. MIDIPlayer X will display file information, such as title, tempo, time signature, as well as active MIDI channels and System Exclusive data.

    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! Show more

    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!

    MacOS 11.6 seems to have broken the app for virtual MIDI
    Use of the app with virtual MIDI now seems broken in MacOS 11.6. The app can still play MIDI to synths on the same Mac if there is a USB MIDI interface with echo-back capability, such as the MIOxm and MIOxr, or a USB MIDI interface with output and input connected together to create a hardware-based loop-back.

    Mostly works as advertised
    I was just looking for a basic MIDI player. This is nearly perfect, but I've run into two minor issues. The first is that there doesn't seem to be any discernible way to send a reset if notes get stuck using the built-in MIDI softsynth. Notes often "hang" or get "stuck" when switching files. The only fix for this seems to be quitting the app and relaunching it. The other issue is you can't drag and drop .kar files, but they will play just fine if I set this app as the default when I double click them. Show more

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

    Great but lacks Tempo Lock
    Really a P.I.T.A. trying to audition midi files in the tempo of the a song you may be composing. The tempo keeps jumping to whatever is set in the midi file and can't be locked to any one tempo. So it is a constant click play to audition - set tempo to say 87 BPM - click next file - then the tempo jumps to 125 BPM - so you you have click arrow down like 35 times - then repeat this process over and over - pretty much much unusable for searching hundreds of files quickly. The MIDI outs are great for auditioning in the DAW - YAY!! - Each new MIDI file selection resets the tempo :-( BOO!! I see the REX player has a tempo lock... PLEASE CONSIDER ADDING FEATURE TO MIDIPlayerX!!! Show more

    Tempo Doesn't Work
    Tempo can only be changed by arrow (why not by data input?), and it doesn't actually affect the playback at all (in Catalina here), so tempo is always at 120bpm no matter what. Otherwise a very useful app, but two stars deducted until this is fixed. Added one star back as manufacturer responded quickly and constructively... will give 5 stars as soon as we figure out how to get tempo to work here. Show more
