## Description

Sweet MIDI Player is a MIDI player and editor with a mixer-like interface. It lets you audition and modify MIDI files, transpose, adjust tempo, mute channels, and save the results. It supports DLS/SF2 sound libraries and CoreMIDI, and can upload files via iTunes.

Features include Lyrics synced with music (MIDI Karaoke), a playlist manager, and a built-in MIDI sound library. The free version plays only the first 3/4 of a file and uses a licensed software synthesizer engine.

## Review summary

Sweet MIDI Player is praised as a durable, feature-rich MIDI player with strong sound quality and easy playback, plus robust file management and solid external-device support. Common drawbacks center on licensing across devices, confusing IAPs and purchase restoration, a dated UI with hidden controls, and several feature gaps around soundfonts and multi-soundfont loading. Overall, it remains a reliable choice for managing large MIDI collections and teaching or performing with hardware synths, but users should expect some setup quirks and licensing friction.

### Pros

- Reliable, long-standing MIDI player with years of positive use
- Excellent sound quality and rich playback controls, including tempo/velocity scaling and slow-down
- Flexible file management with easy import and the ability to use your own soundfonts
- Strong compatibility with external hardware synths and MIDI DAWs (e.g., MIDI clock with Logic Pro)
- Good for teaching and live use due to ease of use and practical features

### Cons

- License and purchase handling across devices is confusing: Mac vs iOS are separate apps and purchases are not always transferable
- Restoring purchases across devices or via Family Sharing can be problematic
- Settings and advanced options can be hard to find; the UI feels outdated and discovery is poor
- Soundfont handling is limited (e.g., cannot load multiple soundfonts at once) and overall soundfont quality can vary
- Pricing and IAP clarity sometimes feels opaque, with reports of high upfront costs for full features and 'what you get' not clearly explained
