Midi Opener - Review
Great App! Fair price! Would give five stars if you add these two features:
1) Give us an option to build a Library structure with unlimited nested folders with lengthy naming conventions AND allow us to populate folders with pointers (NOT the actual Midi files) TO the Apple FILES app (like your folder that already does this). So, we get the juke box effect without having to hunt down and import the actual files every time.
2) Make this app as both "Stand alone" AND as an AUV3 plug-in, that can be hosted by ios "Hosts" like AUM, Ape Matrix, various DAWs like GB, Cubasis, Loopy Pro, Zenbeats, Nano Studio 2, Logic Pro for Ipad, etc. At an absolute minimum make it function as an IAA with audio hosts. (dinosaur legacy, but theres a ton of em' out there, better than nothin')
I love the features you include in your app, such as the ability to optionally use a different Soundfont, change tempo, and key, turn effects on and off individually, optional EQ section AND you actually display the name of the file (allowing lengthy titles, as Midi files can be). Well done! Stay with it!

Good App, just needs some changes
It’s a pretty good app, loads up Soundfonts just fine, but there’s 3 things that would make it better
1. Individual instrumental volume level: a setting where you can adjust the volume of one single instrument.
2. Exporting the song: it would be great if you have an option to export the song to any sound format, like WAV or MP3 or FLAC or etc.
3. App Design: it would be amazing if you can switch the color scheme for the app, like a green color or black, it would be awesome.
I definitely love this app, and would recommend to add those 3 features!

Please Update The App it’s Been 1 year
Excellent
I have downloaded this app so I can play all of my midi files. I tried to upload a sound font, but I couldn’t find where you go to upload one. After searching for a minute or so, I found where you upload sound fonts. I downloaded the Super Mario 64 sound font just because it’s a good sound font. I found a midi of “Whatever It Takes” by Imagine Dragons and with the Super Mario 64 sound font, it sounded… …strangely beautiful. I downloaded some more midi files to test out what sounds good with the Super Mario 64 sound font, but I will still keep all of the midis even if they sound bad.

Great app, but can I export an edit to my files
How can we export tweaked files?
Great app for playing midis but one suggestion,
May you please add a spectrum editor for all the instruments or just the song in video form that we can save into our devices? Basically a spectrum video editor. If you do, Thanks alot.
Response from developer
Thanks for the idea.
Pay for everything
Unfortunately like many apps this app requires you to pay to use your own midi files, you can’t change the instrument type without buying features, even then they’re limited, they also don’t play the actual instrument associated with your midi file.
10/10 do not recommend sadly.

This free app plays any of your standard MIDI files and supports all of the 128 General MIDI instruments. There are several upgrades available for purchase. Thanks for supporting indie app developers!
I love the app, but i have an idea that could make it better!
I love this app, i love taking midi files and hearing how it sounds in other soundfonts, but something i wish was in the app was an option to save midi soundfiles as mp3 files, since recording them to share them can be difficult.
I still love this app, and that's why i rate it 5 stars even without the download function.

☺️ Great idea! I’ll see what I can do.
Good but take notes
This is a good midi application with open support to multiple types of soundfonts FM or not my only issue is that you are charging for features that you can commonly find for free on desktop applications.

Thanks for supporting independent developers!
The best for iOS (issue)
Adding off of the old review for some reason when Ioad a soundfont the app crashes but the thing is the file is not corrupt I have used it many times before I don’t know why
Response from developer
Please try updating to version 4.2.1 for a fix. If the app still crashes, please try running it one more time again. I’m sorry to hear that’s happening for you. I’ve found that some soundfont files have unknown problems with MIDI Opener’s sequencer, but it shouldn’t be crashing.
