MethodRed has updated MIDIPlayer X, their popular MIDI file player for the Mac. Version 3.0 is a significant update with new features and an enhanced UI to make working with MIDI files easier and more efficient.


MIDIPlayer X is a fast, easy way to play MIDI files on your Mac. It works with virtually all commercial MIDI hardware and software, and will play any MIDI file to your choice of available MIDI outputs, either hardware or software, or to its own built-in GM-compatible virtual synth.

MIDIPlayer X also lets users customize MIDI files by muting, soloing or rechannelizing MIDI channels, changing tempos, and saving to a new MIDI file. Whether you need to listen to a single .mid file or audition hundreds, MIDIPlayer X makes it fast and easy.

“These latest features have been highly requested by our users, so we’re excited to offer these enhancements for those who make MIDIPlayer X part of their MIDI file workflow”, says MethodRed founder Doug Hanson.
