[01:03] <MaynardWaters> hey guys, what is an program which can read a midi file
[01:06] <len-dt> MaynardWaters, there is more than one kind of midi file.
[01:07] <len-dt> Hydrogen reads a midi file, qtractor does, rosegarden, PD, Musescore.
[01:08] <len-dt> I can't tell you if any of them will read your midi file :)
[01:14] <MaynardWaters> len-dt: so If I downloaded some random midi file from: http://www.classicalmidiconnection.com/midiplay/playmidi.shtml?midi/c2/befelis
[01:14] <MaynardWaters> and I wanted to use that and put it thorugh a synth, ...hummm
[01:16] <MaynardWaters> musescore crashed :(
[01:25] <MaynardWaters> when i go to the open selection in in Hydrogen it doesnt see any midi files
[01:50] <MaynardWaters> qtracktor also didnt have an option to open a midi file :(
[02:08] <MaynardWaters> bwhahah rosegarden, I thought you were going to betray me, but you did not
[02:20] <len-dt> MaynardWaters, I think you are talking about mid files. Those are more specific.
[02:22] <len-dt> All sequencers have a file that stores midi info in them, but I think a lot of the apps I listed have their own format.
[02:35] <len-dt> pykaraoke says it handles *.mid files too. and Muse is another. aplaymidi (part of the alsa package) says it does too.
[03:15] <studio-user766> yep
[12:52] <MaynardWaters> len-dt I was able to sometimes get rosegarden to open up and play some of the random .midi files I found on the interwebbies
[13:01] <len-dt> Good to know.
