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, .XFM, .LDS, .RCP, .R36, .G18, .G36, .XMF/.MXMF, .MMF).
-
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

Change log:
- New: The VSTi that is used when the "Use VSTi with XG" is enabled loads its saved configuration before playback starts.
- Fixed: Under some conditions the BASSMIDI volume of a soundfont was set to 0.
- Fixed: Some Unicode conversions failed when looking for extra soundfonts
