MIDI Player

By: pqyt

foo_midi is a foobar2000 component that adds playback of MIDI files to foobar2000.
It is based on MIDI Player by kode54.

Features

Decodes General MIDI files (.MID, .MIDI, .RMI, .KAR) and several MIDI based formats. (.MIDS, .MDS, .HMI, .HMP, .MUS, .XMI, .LDS).
Supports several synthesizers, several of which do not require any additional files to play back music. The bundled synthesizers which do not require additional files may sound rather basic, though.
Supports FluidSynth SoundFont (.sf2) based synthesizer, including support for the newer compressed format. (.sf3). SoundFonts may be loaded in a simple, or even complex setup, using either basic .sflist text files encoded in UTF-8 format, but for now, it only supports a bare list of files.
Supports 32 and 64-bit VST instruments.
Supports dark mode.

Requirements

New: The volume of BASS MIDI can be tweaked independently of the overall volume. Defaults to 0.15, determined experimentally to align with the other players.
Improved: Added detection of EUC-JP encoded meta data.
Improved: Added Shift-JIS and EUC-JP detection and conversion for lyrics.
Fixed: Mixed ANSI and Shift-JIS wasn't detected (anymore?).
Fixed: The BASS MIDI voice count was not initialized correctly when using a preset.
Fixed: Emu de MIDI sysex recognition.
Fixed: Emu de MIDI potential buffer overflow during rendering.

Supported processor architectures: x86 32-bit, x86 64-bit.
