Hello,

Are there any MIDI players about for the Amiga, as i have stumbled into some MIDI sound files on the internet.

?

The only dedicated MIDI player I know of is GMPlay, which is freely available from the Aminet.

GMPlay consumes a fair chunk of CPU time, so prepare for some slowdown unless you're using a high spec '040 or above.

Alternatively, you can load MIDI files into Octamed Soundstudio, but you'll need to assign instruments to the notes manually and I cannot get it to play back any more than four channels.

If you actually want to play midi to a proper midi device, I find MidiPlay pretty nice. Hardly any CPU used at all ;-)

I use GMPlay as well, and haven't had any problems with it on my 030/40.
