Midi Player software?

I know the Amiga is not exactly known for it's midi playback and certainly isn't something I think was used that often for games (at all?).


I've been making a midi interface to for my Amiga and was wondering if anyone knows of a reasonable Midi player for the Miggy?


I've had a look on Aminet but the few I have found are mostly quite basic, playing one song and then stopping until reloaded with the next one. I'd love to find a program that at least has some form of playlist functionality, if anyone knows of one?

I'm not sure if up to your task but I have Deluxe Music disks and I'm sure it supported MIDI.

I'm sure I can, er, find a copy in my collection and see


Was thinking more along the lines of Hippoplayer or Eagleplayer etc but will give it a go and report back

Does GMPLAY use external midi devices? I saw it on Aminet but assumed it was creating the audio itself?

GMPLAY uses Software Musical Instruments, with GMPlay no Hardware is needed to play MIDI files.

Dg_midi_player:

This was made for OS4 but it is 68k and works OK on my OS3.2 setup , crashes on my AfA setup though

Unfortunately Dg_midi_player is incompatible with any OS where AfA OS is installed, even with OS 3.1.4 (where AfA OS is suported) WinUAE crashes.

If on AfA OS if you delete the asl.library WinUAE does not crash, but Dg_midi_player crashes.

If on AfA OS systems you disable AfA OS (left mouse button in system startup) Dg_midi_player works fine
