Features & Capabilities

NS MIDI Player is a lightweight, free MIDI app for iPhone, iPad, and Mac. It plays standard MIDI files (SMF) and GM/GS SoundFonts, and supports loading custom .sf2 or .dls fonts. Lyrics are shown in sync with playback, and you can export MIDI as audio or share files.

Open-with support from other apps, Files integration, drag-and-drop, Quick Look, background audio with AirPlay, and lock screen/Control Center scrubbing are included. You can queue multiple songs, adjust playback speed and reverb, and transpose in the full version; some features require upgrading (one-time purchase across devices).

User Reviews

User reviews praise NS MIDI Player for its simple, easy-to-use interface, solid MIDI playback with a strong default soundfont and support for custom soundfonts, and the ability to output MIDI to hardware or Bluetooth devices. The addition of playlists is valued for gigs and practice. Common criticisms focus on stability and performance issues after updates, paywalls for playlist/conversion features, and missing functionality such as saving/queuing playlists, background playback reliability, and some soundfont/instrument quirks with certain files.
Pros
  • Simple, minimal interface with easy direct playback from the Files folder.
  • Solid audio quality with a strong default soundfont and the ability to use custom soundfonts.
  • MIDI output to external hardware and Bluetooth MIDI receivers.
  • Useful for learning and testing MIDI with different soundfonts.
  • Playlist support and overall affordability/free features with MIDI output.
Cons
  • Crashes, instability, and slower performance after updates, plus long load times for large midis.
  • Pricing/upgrade friction: playlists and conversions require paid features, which many reviewers view as expensive.
  • Missing essential features like saving/queueing playlists and a delete button; background playback is unreliable.
  • Some custom soundfonts don't work reliably and instrument changes per channel aren't fully supported.
  • Very large or long MIDI files can be slow to open or fail to play.

SAVE MIDI ON THE IPHONE!

So this app is *amazing*, but i think there are some much needed quality of life changes. 1. Pause the audio when a Bluetooth audio device connects/disconnects, and 2. Add a toggle for if changing sound font restarts the midi. Also, the sound font “alex_gm.sf2” crashes the midi player.
