How it works
- Choose a .mid or .midi file, or explore the complete sample session shown on load.
- Use transport and timeline controls to review the playback flow and piano-roll position.
- Select a soundfont profile, adjust tempo and volume, and manage individual MIDI channels.
- Use mute, solo, and loop states to prepare the exact listening setup you need.
How MIDI playback works
A MIDI player reads timestamped note-on, note-off, program, tempo, and controller events from each track. During playback it schedules those events against a clock, routes channels to instruments from the chosen soundfont, and applies tempo as a timing multiplier. At 50% tempo events are spaced twice as far apart; at 150% they occur in two-thirds of the original time.
FAQ
Are MIDI files uploaded anywhere?
No. The file-selection and playback workspace is designed for local browser processing, so your MIDI data does not need to be sent to a server.
What is a soundfont?
A MIDI file stores notes and performance instructions rather than recorded sound. A soundfont supplies instrument samples that a synthesizer uses to turn those instructions into audible music.
Does MIDI contain vocals or recorded audio?
Usually no. Standard MIDI contains events such as note, velocity, instrument, tempo, and controller changes. It can trigger sounds, but it is not an audio recording format like MP3 or WAV.
What do mute and solo do?
Mute excludes one channel from playback; solo focuses playback on selected channels. These controls are useful for studying arrangements or practicing one part at a time.
Which files can I select?
The interface accepts standard .mid and .midi files. Proprietary project formats from a DAW must first be exported as Standard MIDI Files.
