MIDIme vs Patterning

Open a MIDI file and make it your own practice session. MIDI Me is a free MIDI player for listening, exploring parts, and practicing at your own pace. No ads, subscriptions, paid unlocks, accounts, or tracking. LISTEN OFFLINE Start playing with the included General MIDI soundbank. Import your own SF2 or DLS soundbank, or choose an available CoreMIDI destination to send notes to another instrument. A built-in demo lets you try the player immediately. PRACTICE YOUR PART Slow playback down or speed it up. Mute or solo individual tracks, repeat an A-B passage, and transpose melodic parts by up to two octaves in either direction. Standard drum channel 10 keeps its percussion pitches. Adjust instruments and levels by MIDI channel, and return to the settings supplied by the file whenever you like. Your practice settings are remembered for each song. SEE THE MUSIC Explore a piano roll with zoom, pan, pitch labels, and follow mode. View lyrics, markers, and cue points when the file contains them, and jump to their positions. The piano roll shows the original notes. KEEP YOUR LIBRARY LOCAL Search and rename songs, arrange playlists, and build a playback queue. Removed songs can be restored. Your imported originals stay unchanged, and your library and settings stay on your device. Switch between light, dark, and system appearance, or use the mini player while listening. SAVE OR SHARE Export the unchanged original MIDI, or render the full song to WAV with your selected soundbank, speed, transpose, and mix. MIDI export preserves the original file rather than applying playback edits. WAV export renders the whole song, not just an A-B selection. FILE SUPPORT AND PRACTICE NOTES Supports Standard MIDI File formats 0 and 1 with beat-based timing, including compatible .mid, .midi, and .kar files. Format 2 and SMPTE-timed MIDI are not supported. Files are limited to 64 MB, 1,000,000 events, and 250,000 notes. A-B loops use 50 ms polling and are not sample-accurate. Muting or soloing a track also filters its SysEx messages, which can affect global sound setup in some files. Transposed notes outside MIDI's pitch range are omitted. Tracks sharing a MIDI channel share its instrument and level. WAV rendering is limited to two hours. MIDI Me plays musical instructions; it does not convert recorded audio to MIDI or provide sheet-music notation. Lyrics appear only when included in the file. External MIDI destinations need their own sound source.
