MidiPlayback Basic

MidiPlayback: Sheet Music & MIDI Player

Turn your tablet into a smart score reader and MIDI playback companion.

About this app
Bring your sheet music to life with MidiPlayback, the ultimate app for viewing and playing music scores on MIDI instruments.

Designed for musicians, students, and educators, MidiPlayback combines high-quality score rendering with real-time MIDI playback. It displays sheet music using the Verovio engine and supports playback through USB or Bluetooth-connected MIDI devices, or via tablet speaker.

Key Features:

🎼 Smart Sheet Music Viewer
View your scores in the open format: .mei thanks to Verovio.
This is not a score editor. To use your scores here, convert them to .mei format and unroll them with your favorite editor, such as MuseScore or the Verovio Online Editor.
Import your .mei files using the ↓ button or the Android file manager.

🎹 Real-Time MIDI Playback
Connect to your MIDI instruments (synths, expanders, keyboards) via USB-OTG (e.g., M-Audio MIDISPORT Uno) or Bluetooth (e.g., Yamaha MD-BT01).
Tap the MIDI button to connect to USB or Bluetooth devices — depending on permissions, multiple attempts may be required.
Use the built-in FluidSynth engine for on-device sound playback.

🎯 Interactive Playback Experience
Real-time score following with a playback cursor highlighting notes across staves.
Control tempo, transpose, mute instruments, and change MIDI programs.
Show or hide staves and adjust zoom for optimal readability.

🔀 Smooth Navigation & Controls
Swipe left/right to navigate the score.
Compatible with AirTurn pedals (Mode 5 – space bar/return) for hands-free control.

♻️ Optimized for Longevity
Runs on Android 5.0 (Lollipop) and up — a perfect second life for older tablets as dedicated music readers.
