Harping Midi Player is an interactive MIDI file player for the aspiring musician. Originally thought as a tool for learning and practicing harmonica, it slowly became natural that some other functions could be added like interactive piano keyboard, karaoke text display and some basic editing functions like transposing, track naming, instrument change, note editing, etc. becoming a more general tool but still keeping a powerful set of harmonica players related functions.

For the amateur musician it is the perfect aid for learning to play without the need of knowing how to read standard music notation, we just look at the bars and read the notes displayed over them in a very staff like manner, slow down at will, select a section and loop play, watch a piano as the keys are being pressed, etc. For the harmonica player the note name can be replaced by the tablature of the selected harmonica type (diatonic or chromatic), key and tuning (several tunings are included and we can even load our own custom tunings), see the normal inhale and blow notes, the bends and also the overblows, watch the harmonica layout. We can also print the displayed tab for offline practice, we can create a text track with the tab and watch it in real time in the lyrics windows, and then save it as a text file if we want, and much more.

Free MIDI Ringtones Player helps you preview your midi ringtones before downloading them to your mobile phone. Listen to as many midi ringtones as you want and select your favorite ones. The program provides easy to use interface as well as all necessary features. Just select your midi file to listen before transfer it to your mobile phone as a favorite ringtone.

Sweet MIDI Player is a program for not only auditioning all types of MIDI files, but for modifying the MIDI files themselves. We can use its mixer-like interface to easily edit the control messages, transpose the music, change the tempo, mute desired MIDI channels, and save the end results to disk. We can display the lyrics available in MIDI Karaoke files. We can change the arrangement with easy to use Cut, Copy and Paste commands.

Sweet MIDI Player is available for Windows and Mac OS X (10.3.9 or higher including Snow Leopard).

MIDI Display is a program consisting of 16 Virtual Keyboards, one for each MIDI channel. As notes are played they are displayed on the corresponding channel in varying shades of blue; Light blue for the softer notes and dark blue for the loudest. Program changes are converted to the General MIDI program name.

MidiRunner is an integrated Play Center for MIDI, MP3, Wave, CD-Audio files and all others WindowsMedia supported sound files. MidiRunner permits you to play the MIDI instruments (or the corresponding soundfonts loaded into the MIDI Space), using an external connected MIDI keyboard, the PC keyboard, or a virtual keyboard.
