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: Added FluidSynth player again.
- It can be selected after setting the path to the directory that contains the FluidSynth libraries. You can download FluidSynth [here](https://github.com/FluidSynth/fluidsynth/releases). Make sure you download the version that has the same CPU architecture as foobar2000 (x64 or x86).
New: Added .XFM as an alternative file extension for XMI files.
Improved: Added FluidSynth settings to preferences page.
Improved: MIDI standard detection
- Some XG files where not recognized as such if the file contained anyy GS messages first.
- GM 2 detection.
Changed: Renamed dynamic info tags *bassmidi_voices* and *bassmidi_voices_max* to *midi_active_voices* and *midi_peak_voices*. The FluidSynth player also sets those tags while playing.
Bug Fix: An old bug in the XMI parser prevent some XMI files from loading.

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