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 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.

Ne veut pas ouvrir les fichiers .midi via le Finder

• ★★★★★   Bouaflejd 7 years ago ( v 2.1 )

Premier contact décevant. Mes applications (Lilypound en particulier) génèrent des fichiers .midi. Lorsque dans l’appli je sélectionne « ouvrir », tous les fichiers .midi sont grisés et donc inaccessibles. Je ne peux pas non plus depuis le Finder les "ouvrir avec » car l’appli n’est pas proposée dans les applications pouvant exécuter ces fichiers. La seule solution est d’ouvrir l’application, et de déplacer les fichiers sur l’icone. Là, çà marche et plutôt très bien. Je pense qu’une solution existe, mais il va falloir chercher, ce qui est contrariant compte tenu de l’apparente simplicité du produit.

Klein und fein

Endlich mal ne kleine App die Midi abspielt ohne Logic oder eine andere grosse Daw geöffnet werden muss. Macht was es soll. Prima :) Fehlt nur Vorspulen, dann passt alles :)

Funktioniert !

• ★★★★☆   MThrower 9 years ago ( v 1.0 )

Genau diese App habe ich gesucht. Einfach nur Midifiles abspielen, ohne grosse Umstände. Wenn jetzt noch Vorspulen und das Muten einzelner Tracks kommt, wäre die App perfekt. Aber vielleicht kommt das ja noch.

Perfekt! V 2.0

Auf diese App habe ich Jahre gewartet. Midi Files ohne viel Aufwand abspielen. Klein, schnell, gut! Nach dem Update noch besser mit neuen Features. Bester Player für den Mac!

KISS - Great :)

I like the Keep-it-simple-and-stupid method great app :) Nice update for muting and transportation :) please support also *.midi (not only *.mid) files *thx*

Very nice app

I purchased this app because Apple dropped support for midi in Quicklook, Safari and in Quicktime player. It works as advertised. Its intuitive and midi files sound like they were played with Quicktime 7. I hope the developper add the ability to skip ahead while playing or a plugin version for quicklook. For the price, you can’t go wrong with this one.

Great!

This is a terrific bit of software! Once upon a time, MIDI playback was built into Preview. For some reason, Apple decided to drop the ball. Well, MethodRed has picked it up and run with it. Glad to find a lightweight solution—much better than opening Logic every time I want to preview a .mid file.
