Features
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.
- Tested with Microsoft Windows 10 or later.
- foobar2000 v2.0 or later (32 or 64-bit version).
Current version: 3.2.1.0, released on 2025-09-14
Change log:
- Fixed: DLS collections in soundfont lists were not automatically converted to SF2 banks.
- Fixed: BASSMIDI did not play percussion when playing an XG MIDI file and did not process GS CC32 messages. Regression caused by implementing support for Control Change 32 (Bank LSB select).
- Fixed: SecretSauce pipe handler could experience buffer corruption. (v3.1.2.0 Regression)
