General MIDI Player

General MIDI Player is a cool tool that lets you play a ton of MIDI instruments right from your Mac. What’s great is that it comes with built-in General MIDI support, so you can get started quickly! Just keep in mind, though, that this app is meant for playing instruments and doesn’t open MIDI files.

Easy to Use Interface

The user interface is simple and super intuitive. You can easily choose your input and output devices and pick the instrument you want to jam on. Whether you like using your keyboard, mouse, or a MIDI device, General MIDI Player has got you covered. It works well with both software and hardware MIDI devices!

Fun Features to Explore

One nifty feature is the QWERTY mode. Here, you can shift the mapped keys up or down an octave using the arrow indicators in the Input panel. Plus, it shows you the keys on a virtual keyboard to make things even easier.

Select Your Instrument

You get access to an awesome drop-down panel where you can pick from various instruments like piano, harpsichord, celesta, glockenspiel, marimba, guitar, trumpet, and even more! There are tons of options for any music lover.

Tweak Your Sound

The app also lets you adjust the reverb amount with a handy dial. If something goes wrong and a note won’t stop playing? No worries! There's a Panic button to silence everything instantly.

Volume Control & Customization

You can control the volume from the Output panel too. Just make sure audio processing is turned on so you can hear those sweet tunes! Other features let you change the audio driver and adjust output channels and devices according to your setup.

Wrap Up

In short, General MIDI Player gives you fantastic support for playing loads of MIDI instruments straight from your Mac using your mouse or keyboard – plus both software and hardware devices!
