Easy MIDI Player

The player you know from Easy MP3 Player, now as an app made just for MIDI. Same screens, same controls: pick a song and press play. The only difference is that it plays MIDI files. A built-in GM sound set does the playing, so there is no separate sound module to set up. What makes it different 1. Open it and it plays Pick a MIDI file (.mid, .midi, .smf, .kar) and it starts. No sound setup, no converting. 2. Choose your folder once Point the app at the folder holding your songs, one time. From then on they are waiting the moment you open the app. No walking through the Files app again. You can register as many folders as you like. 3. Reorder with your finger Press and hold a song, then drag it up or down. Remove the ones you no longer want, right there. 4. A playlist for each occasion Make playlists with names that suit you: Practice, Recital, Before Sleep. Switching between them does not interrupt playback. 5. Ten-band equalizer Adjust from low to high across ten bands. Your settings are still there next time you open the app. 6. A sleep timer that stops for you Choose 15, 30, 45, 60 or 90 minutes. When the time is up, playback stops on its own. 7. Control it from the lock screen Play, pause, skip and seek from the lock screen or Control Center. Unlocked with a one-time purchase - Playback speed From 0.5x to 2x. The pitch stays where it is; only the speed changes. Useful when you want to slow a fast piece down and hear what is happening. - Key (transpose) Up to twelve semitones up or down. The drum part is left alone. - Part mixer Mute a part, change its volume, or swap its instrument. Mute the part you are practising and play along with the rest. - No ads The banner at the bottom of the screen goes away. - Export and import playlists Save the playlists you made to a file, and load them back. One payment. Nothing further to pay. Supported files Standard MIDI File format 0 and 1 (.mid, .midi, .smf, .kar) Supported devices iPhone and iPad Open-source software MIDI playback uses TinySoundFont.

Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: WOW Filterbox at none against Easy MIDI Player's shown. Easy MIDI Player's advantage is device support (4 vs 1) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.6). On price and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
