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: Support for embedded DLS sound fonts in RMI files. Works only with the FluidSynth player.
New: Support for the DBNK chunk in RMI files.
New: Support for SoundFont layering without using SFList files. Not perfect yet but usable.
Improved: Tweaked the player type override logic.
Improved: Increased the number of MIDI ports supported by the BASS MIDI player.
Fixed: A very old bug in the MIDI parsing code when Pitch Bend control change messages were encountered.
Fixed: Some preferences were not reset when the Reset button was clicked.

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