I use this app a lot to learn songs. Is there a way to view only 1 long keyboard to see triggered notes? My eyeballs get quite a workout. Thanks!
I wasn't expecting to be able to change the instrument. That is a plus. But there is only two instruments. Those instruments gets quiet at low pitch. This also means that this app only plays those instruments on your midi files, regardless of what instrument your midi calls for.
This is the first app I can find that can play midi files in their true glory. The only problem is that I don't know how to install other sound fonts. Other that that, very nice!
