Midi Player enables you to edit melodies in MIDI file format. With this software, you can enhance loudness, tempo, pitch, notes, and more.

Pros

Program selection: There are 127 native programs included, ranging from Acoustic Grand Piano to Guitar Fret Noise and Seashore, giving you a great deal of flexibility for sound design.

Cons

Playback issue: Try as we might, we could not get this software to play back effectively on the test system.

Complicated interface: The interface is very congested and complicated, especially if you've never worked with MIDI software.

Outdated design: The icons, fonts, and design in general all look as though they are decades old.

Bottom Line

Between playback issues and an outdated interface, Midi Player doesn't have much to recommend it when it is held up against the modern, more effective alternatives that are available.
