MIDI Player2

MIDI Player2 plays a standard MIDI file into your patch — a hands-free way to audition a synth, demo a preset, or feed a render. It’s under MIDI in the Module Browser, and replaces the Old-category MIDI Player.

Two things are new. Playback has its own Trigger and Gate inputs, so the transport can be driven from the patch, and tempo follows the host by default instead of being dialled in on a Tempo pin.

Inputs

Pin	Type	Description
File Name	Filename	The .mid file to play
Trigger	Audio	Restarts playback from the beginning on a rising edge
Gate	Audio	Playback runs while this is high
Tempo from	List	Host (default) follows the host’s tempo; MIDI File uses the tempo map stored in the file. Minimised by default.
Loop Mode	Bool	Repeat the file instead of stopping at the end

Outputs

Pin	Type	Description
MIDI Out	MIDI	The file’s MIDI stream

Usage

Wire MIDI Out to a MIDI-CV 2’s MIDI In, exactly as you would an on-screen Keyboard (MIDI).

Set a real file path first

MIDI Player2 plays nothing until its File Name pin points at a MIDI file that exists. There’s no error and no warning — the patch simply runs silent, which is easy to mistake for a broken synth or a broken render. If you get silence, check this pin before anything else.

If the file is part of a project you intend to export, put it in the project’s .resources folder so it travels inside the plugin — see Including Audio, MIDI and SoundFont Files.

For rendering a MIDI performance straight to a WAV rather than playing it live, see Rendering to Disk.
