Sweet MIDI Player

I’ve used this player for over ten years, on an iPad, 3 to 5 nights a week. Not one failure or malfunction. Editing is a little clumsy but my midi editing equipment, makes up for it. It’s so easy and common sense in its operation. Glad I found this player first. The price is very affordable. R Webb

I wanted to say Thank You to the devs for constantly updating this app. There are still many Sequencer Bands that uses Midi Files for their performance (including me) and having this app on our mobile devices, we wont be hauling our laptops with just vanbasco on it. Now my suggestion, if the devs can put an Expression (CC11) dial that we can utilize? Most Midi Files are not balanced, and the option to tweak the Expression can adjust the loudness of each track. I noticed that some midi files have almost max volumes but still sounds softer compared to other tracks, and that mainly because of lowered Expression. An option to select voices from a GM2 or GS Instrument list, not just the common General Midi Instruments. Also, if the Devs can develop a Midi File Editor app (like cakewalk pro 9) which can do in depth editing on midi files, I would pay to have that.

I’m the developer of Melody Run and Beat Bounce games. These two games rely on midis and I occasionally need to edit files on my phone but couldn’t find any simple app to change volume, instrument etc quickly. This app does it very well and much more… Pros: - a good file system that you can import and manage multiple files. - easy and quickly accessible player - loooots of settings - import your own soundfont Cons: - it wasn’t clear how to import soundfont. I thought the import file was just for midis. If I were the developer, I would have separate “import midi”, “import soundfont” buttons in related places. - UI looks old. It’s probably developed more than 5 years ago - it’s not clear what in app purchase offers. There is no save button. When you have multiple midis, it automatically plays the next midi and previous changes are deleted. There should be a paywall screen shows the price, what IAP offers and when a file is saved, changes are deleted. - doesn’t export to mp3 file :( But overall, this exceeds my expectations!

I have used Sweet MIDI Player to play MIDI files with exterior hardware synths for years. Can you please make it possible in an update to type in a patch number where the instruments are listed? Only having a list of software instruments makes it real tricky to deal with hardware knobs if you want to use a synth patch on a hardware synth. Would like to have a song playlist played on my hardware without making very clumsy sounding adjustments every time a song starts. Some synths have over 300 patches so it would be very useful to be able to save patch numbers on Sweet MIDI Player. Thank you

I have a lot of problems synchronizing with internal sound module , all the instruments sound like piano, I do not recommend, this app, I’ve been working with midi files for many years but this is terrible,

I first put this on my iPhone and couldn’t figure out how to purchase the full version to play MIDI all the way. I got on my iPad and found there are 2 more buttons at the bottom - help and set. In set I could make the purchase, but it didn’t upgrade on my iPhone. I uninstalled and reinstalled and still nothing it still doesn’t play the last 1/4 of the song. I was just informed that on the iPhone you have to rotate your phone 90 degree to get the extra buttons. I updated my review to 5 stars

$15 just to play one file in its entirety? Really? Edit: I only needed to play one file, that’s why $15 is too much.

Absolutely a wonderful app, with continued support for so many years! Thank you to the developer, keep up the good work! So to everyone with the complaint that their phone isn’t restoring the purchase because they can’t find the settings button, I had the same problem. Here’s the solution, just flip your phone to landscape mode and two more buttons appear, “help” and “settings”. In the settings there is a a lot more functions that can be tweaked, one of them is restoring your purchase.

I love the features on this app, but I don’t love the default instrument settings. When I change them to a different instrument, as soon as I switch to a different song it returns the instrument settings back to the default! Also I cannot find the app in my list of apps in the iPhone Settings. Is this a bug?

I have used this app on my Ipad for several years. I have my own sound bank. Lyrics can be displayed when starting a midi file as default. I have a start stop pedal connected and all works like a charm. Highly recommended for back tracks in live performance.
