Midi Player enables you to edit melodies in MIDI file format. With this software, you can enhance loudness, tempo, pitch, notes, and more. Pros Program selection: There are 127 native programs included, ranging from Acoustic Grand Piano to Guitar Fret Noise and Seashore, giving you a great deal of flexibility for sound design.
An Accomplished Player Whether it's your own composition or an all-time classic, BANDSTAND injects just the right sound and the integrated MIDI file player delivers the performance of a lifetime every time. Adjusting the mix or replacing instruments is easy.
Cons Playback issue: Try as we might, we could not get this software to play back effectively on the test system. Complicated interface: The interface is very congested and complicated, especially if you've never worked with MIDI software. Outdated design: The icons, fonts, and design in general all look as though they are decades old.
Bottom Line Between playback issues and an outdated interface, Midi Player doesn't have much to recommend it when it is held up against the modern, more effective alternatives that are available. SoundFont Midi Player is a powerful midi player and real time midi synth combo, specially useful for Soundblaster (Live,Audigy, X-fi) users, who can load soundfonts automatically and real time.

Reply by Buddy1971 on June 18, 2015 MIDI files will play from Windows 8.1 in Windows Media Player with no modifications or extra codecs if you use the default settings for Windows Media Player. It seems that without default settings, the MIDI codecs will not automatically load when trying to play a MIDI file for the first time. Sure it is bare bones and shows a black and blank rectangle when it plays, but it does play. Serious musicians will have to find a better MIDI player and recorder, like the one in this article. Full Specifications What's new in version 5.5 Version 5.5:.
1. Added '2x Window Size' option to context menu of Visualization(Spectrum & Channels) dialog to get bigger/better quality display.

Added hotkeys for changing programs real-time. Also added hotkeys (0.9) to select user definable patches. Fixed changing octave when chord mode is on can result in hanging notes. Updated Bass/Bassmidi libraries.

Hello everyone, As of this week, the following instruments have been discontinued: Akoustik Piano, B4 II, Bandstand, Elektrik Piano and Pro-53. This means that these instruments will no longer be available for purchase, and that no future software updates will be developed for them. However, you will still be able to get regular tech support from NI as long as you use these instruments under a supported operating system. Also, you can still install and activate discontinued products, as well as buy or sell them privately. They also won't be removed if you install the new Komplete 6 over a previous Komplete version. So most importantly, the discontinuation will not prevent you in any way from further using these instruments under the system configurations that they are guaranteed to work with. In the larger context, the fact that we will not maintain these individual instruments any longer has very real benefits for the wider NI userbase.
Our developers and QA testers have to spend a good share of their time to make sure that products stay compatible with new versions of host sequencers and operating systems. With a focused product portfolio like the one we have now, we can maintain the remaining products more efficiently and release new fixes and features faster. The resources that we save on legacy instruments like B4 II and Pro-53 will now be utilized for more popular and versatile products like Kontakt, Guitar Rig etc. Here is some more information on the individual products both for existing users and for people interested in these instrument categories: Akoustik Piano: The sounds of this instrument can and should be used with the free Kontakt Player, which is a much better platform regarding its sample engine and compatibility. The four individual piano models will also be re-issued as Kontakt-Powered instruments for download in the near future. B4 II: The affordable '57 Drawbar Organ' instrument is our alternative offer for drawbar organ fans. You can Bandstand: Same as with Akoustik Piano, the free Kontakt Player is the new recommended playback platform for the sounds contained in this instrument.
Elektrik Piano: Same as with Akoustik Piano, please use the free Kontakt Player. The sounds of Elektrik Piano are also now part of the Kontakt 4 factory library, so they continue to be available within Komplete. Pro-53: While there is no direct replacement for this instrument in the NI product range, a wide range of vintage synth sounds can be achieved with Massive and Reaktor.
I hope this clears things up and provides a good perspective for all users of these and other NI products. If you feel that any info is missing in this post, just send me a PM and I will look into it. Best, Thomas.
