The reason behind this, I wanted to be able to share a free and clean Midi Player for a tutorial I’m making. I’m using Cubase myself but this would be about something simple and free. I know there are both free DAWs and simple players but I don’t have any recent first hand experience of any and I don’t want to recommend anything that could be bloatware.
That lead me to start developing a very simple Midi Player (Unity/UWP app). It is not going to have any editing functions, it is simply beyond the scope of the project.
So, I’m looking for some editor to perhaps recommend. Just for open a midi file and moving around notes, nothing complex. You don’t need to be able to play from it either.
Musescore is a general purpose notation program that can edit midi files.
There’s also Aria Maestosa and Rosegarden.
I think you can also edit MIDI in LMMS, but that one is a DAW and geared towards music production and not midi, so normally you’d use LMMS for VSTs and producing mp3/oggs instead.
Great! I’ll check them out. Thanks!
I used to use session which is a 16bit windows app…
I think Bosca ceol output midi too
Large number of programs can edit midi files in some form. Some are more convenient than others though. It also depends on whether you want score editor or piano roll.
The issue here is that midi format is very bare bones. So no extra data can be stored within.
