I just wanted to play a MIDI file
This can probably do what I want, but I'm dammed if I can work out how. Dreadful UI. Support only on Facebook where I don't have an account. Sadly, Apple refused refund.

Photon AU - Midi Recorder with Pad playback & Groove
NOTE: You need a suitable host to run this AUv3 midi app (eg AUM, Audiobus, apeMatrix, Cubasis etc). The standalone version is for the manual & file import.
Record your midi performances (from a keyboard, sequencer or arpeggiator) using this audio unit in your DAW then save/export them as standard midi files via email or directly to other apps.
Load midi files using Airdrop (uses the standalone version) & select your track to import in the AU version.
Up to six pads can be loaded with midi file data & played back with variations in transposition, loudness, tempo, parts defined as start/duration
You can also load a midi file as a Groove file to allow it to replace midi timing or velocity in your recorded/loaded midi file thereby conforming your buffer midi to the groove pattern (eg trancegate effects)
Most controls automated as AU Parameters (quick record, pad controls, pad playback etc)
