Works great!

This app does what it says with no fuss. I've tried a bunch of mids and soundfonts through it and all works as expected. The Playing Next feature is super handy as well.
The app works well with VoiceOver as well everything's clearly labeled. I like the little track viewer too. Hear the various parts of a midi in isolation.
Well done.

Hi, thanks for leaving a review! Glad to hear that you're enjoying the app. P.S. If you have any feedback on the VoiceOver support and how I could make it better, please feel free to reach out via the App Support link in the Settings screen. Thanks!

I paid $8 thinking the fee would allow me to preview drum tracks. Nope just piano. Wasted my money. Please fix this wtf

Great app! A few suggestions though…

So this app is *amazing*, but i think there are some much needed quality of life changes. 1. Pause the audio when a Bluetooth audio device connects/disconnects, and 2. Add a toggle for if changing sound font restarts the midi. Also, the sound font “alex_gm.sf2” crashes the midi player.

It’s fine but crashes often

For $7.99 I would expect less crashes and more stability

Can’t you save the playlists?

It is paid to make the playlists at the moment, nice audio but the app for musicians or listeners is not practical at all.

Cool but one thing I should suggest though

It's awesome but I want you to add an update which let you replace the soundfont's instrument,for example: changing a guitar to a piano

FIXED - No sound

New review: there was something wrong with the volume of the first .mid file I tried; it was a whisper at 100% volume. I tried another and it sounded normal. Old review: Downloaded. No sound when I try to play a .mid file. Rebooted Mac. No sound. All system sound settings are normal. App set to play thru Mac speakers; really nothing I can see needing to change. I will change stars if I can get this working.

Bad

Had to buy premium for conversion just to find it’s much worse than the source audio. Ridiculous waste of money. One free conversion should be offered to test.

Serious bug

The app doesn’t sleep when not active and runs in background. In one night, it drained 60% of battery as a background process. If you use it, unload the app forcibly in the end of your MIDI session.

Thanks for leaving a review! I need a little more information to figure out why this could be happening. Could you email me at apps@nitinseshadri.com or edit your review with the following information: - Device model (e.g. iPhone 16 Pro) - iOS version - Your device's battery health percentage, if available - Go to Settings > Battery to check the battery usage of NS MIDI Player over the past 24 hours. Tap "Show Activity" in the top right to look at the breakdown of on-screen and background time and let me know what it says. Thanks!

Was great before, just good now

This app is absolutely fantastic for what it does: playing MIDI files with sound fonts. Only complaint I have is that the app seems to have slowed down considerably following a recent update. Loading midi files and soundfonts used to be near instantaneous, but now it takes several seconds (and even upwards of 30 for a particularly large file) to load. I don’t know how you managed to make the app slower. Otherwise, it’s fantastic.

EDIT: The latest update fixes this issue. Thanks for letting me know! Hi, thanks for the review! I'm aware of the loading time issue and I believe I have a fix. Please sign up for the TestFlight beta on this page (or tap the App Support link at the bottom of the settings screen): https://apps.nitinseshadri.com/midiplayer/support

Good app but it can struggle

Big midis are a nono 1.2 mb midi will take forever or oftentimes wont open.

Edit in response to developer: Although rare, some midi files can be pretty long songs, the one in this case is a 36 minute long midi, I have another with is 49 minutes and takes 888 KB… larger midis are rare but they do exist.

Fantastic midi player

Love this app! The default soundfont is awesome and midi classics sound just like how I remember them. It even supports custom soundfonts and sending midi out to hardware devices. Such a powerful app- thank you!
