Editors’ Review
Midi Player enables you to edit melodies in MIDI file format. With this software, you can enhance loudness, tempo, pitch, notes, and more.
You can customize the midi inputs and outputs to match your needs perfectly. The software allows for instant adjustments to sounds and instruments during live performances on any channel. You have the ability to mute or solo tracks individually, making it simple to get the exact sound you want. The flexible tempo and pitch controls let you alter the speed and pitch of your music while it plays, giving you creative freedom.
The virtual piano feature turns your computer keyboard into a musical instrument. You can change octaves with simple key presses, and there’s a chord mode for more musical versatility. SoundFont Midi Player supports a variety of file types, including midi, karaoke, and module files like mod, xm, s3m, and it.
You can record your sessions directly into wave or mp3 files, making it easy to share or edit your creations later. The software also allows for midi sending and receiving over the network, which is great for collaborations. Adding VST effects and instruments is straightforward, enhancing your sound options. Plus, the player is compatible with many operating systems, running on various versions of Windows and even on other systems through Wine.
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- Outdated design: The icons, fonts, and design in general all look as though they are decades old.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Between playback issues and an outdated interface, Midi Player doesn't have much to recommend it when it is held up against the modern, more effective alternatives that are available.
