Cannot add sound fonts. It is not allowing me to add any of my custom sound fonts to the app. It instead brings up an error message asking if I have enabled write permissions, which I have.
hello developer ,please add option for selecting midi out port,so that we can play it via our usb midi keyboards.thank you!
Its fine for what it is, I guess... But soundfont instrument names dont change from default, and that makes it almost impossible to tell. Please fix this
I had some problems, but the developer helped me. Everything works now, thanks.
Still one of the best MIDI players out there! Hands down!
Got it playing midis but plays very quiet
I love it! Nice uncluttered interface. No piano keyboards or goofy-looking user-interface buttons. Only minor bug I had was in converting a MIDI to WAV. The conversion went fine ("Apogee Intro.mid") and the file was saved but without the filename. So the output file was just ".wav" and since it starts with a dot, the phone treated it as a .nomedia file, so it took me a while to find it. I'm using Marshmallow 6.0 with a MicroSD card, formatted as adopted storage. P.S. I just figured it out: I wasn't typing my own output filename. :) It's not obvious at the prompt that you have to do it. Maybe the App could pre-paste the name?
I'm enjoying listening to downloaded classical midi's with this, plays them much better than the stock player. I'd like it to play a single file or a folder and then stop, rather than repeat automatically (perhaps I am not using it correctly?). V good player apart from that minor annoyance.
I specifically wished to download a midi player that displays added lyrics as the midi is being played. The info on the app doesn't say your app does this but other information online indicates Timidity does display lyrics. However, after paying for your app & downloading it I discovered it does not display the lyrics. I feel I have wasted money for no reason. I am very disappointed. [After contact with the app developer I have increased the stars. This app has a great sound & I was finally able to get the lyrics to appear. I can't fault the communication, it was timely and helpful]
High fidelity Command and Conquer tunes in my pocket, rendered with any soundfonts I please. Fantastic. Dark theme is a good option. Dear dev, please implement a player control launcher widget.. my only wish from this fine app.
Lots of features. Works exceptionally well. No ads. Without this app, I would not bother with midi on android.
Now only plays with native soundfont. Bummer.
The best midi app on my phone. Love it and it plays audio from videos as well. Makes it better than Google Music. 11/10
Fully featured "MIDI-ah" player, supports sfArk installation, you can take the Doom soundtrack on your runs around the park at night and MIDI files are in abundance so it's all worth the dollar this will cost yah.
I'd look for this MIDI player that supports my soundfonts ! Nice app ever for enjoying my MIDI notes!
I have to give 5 stars because the developer have taking feedback from user. Managing playlist is no more a painful thing, with some plus: this player also plays tracker files, mp3, ogg, and video files (as audio), changing soundfont is a charm, and folder is treated as a playlist. Timidity cfg works great too.
I liked this because it can play black midi's (1,000,000+ notes) but when it reaches 256th voice, the playback pauses... I want you to make it to 512 voice limit... Or if it is allowed, just mute the extra voices added beyond the 256 voice limit to make it play smoothly and better 😃🙏
I like Timidity in Linux, and I like it here too
Well the midis that were played isnt completely 100% the same like it was suppose to sound like however, the sound is better than its played in other players. Didnt regret paying ;p.
Can't click midi links and open with this app
I like that I can change key and tempo, but how do I save the settings (Key,Tempo) on each song so I don't have to re set it every time. I have a song/file that I practice along with. The original BPM is 120. I slow it down to 100bpm but next time I play it, it is back to 120. How do I save it play at 100bpm every time I play it? Thanks
I've dabbled with timidity and fluidsynth on the arm platform before, but I can't find options to control reverb/chorus/delay settings on this app, otherwise a good effort.
I have a galaxy S3 as well as my asus nexus 7. This seems to work on both devices for me bob..if there is anything I can do to help you out bob, please let me know. Steve
Works great on the Nexus 7 (again)! Good job devs!
I couldn't believe it when I first discovered my phone couldn't play midi! What was Google thinking? (Or not!) This is a step toward filling a huge gap.
Great at playing MIDI's! I only wish it could load massive sound fonts and had more playback controls.
After downloading the pattern files (once only) the user is presented with a touch screen file locator menu which is bare bones, similar to basic ASTRO. If you know where your midi files are, you can find them and play them, or you can find them in ES File Manager and then you are offered a menu choice to play them with Timidity AE, but I wasn't always presented this choice in other settings. There are basic controls for playback. The tone of the instruments is excellent, but the full musical interface happens through midi using the preassigned instrument layout. After some searching around, I found the configuration file on the SD card under Android/data/com.xperia64 and was able to edit it successfully to at least choose a different instrument. There is information under timidity for linux that is probably useful. This app is considerably better than the default midi player (shame, Google). More information (like what I provide above) would be helpful. Someone else suggested changes in the tempo and I concur. Do you have a midi spec sheet? Can it be used as an output device in another application that plays or generates Midi?
I like that it plays both sound files and midi files but it's not safe to use while driving... A better interface would help. Think about swiping to scroll through songs and tapping to play/pause. Or compatibility with physical button mapping. Or response to numeric keypad. Also, some soundfonts load with different instruments transposed (not in unison) A mixer would help with this problem. Lyric display for midis would be nice. Thanks.
