I'm a bit behind on email :)
I poked around and found the same thing. Apparently its a bug in the
Apple Core Audio library. Individual MIDI apps can address this but
nothing I found could fix playback with the Quicktime Player or Preview.
HN2 is some kind of MIDI app that the developer has patched to work
around Apple's bug. Best thing for now is to open it in something else
like Garage Band.

Huhho! Wow! I see what you mean. It's very good as far as the sound,
but, the volume is atrocious! It is quite quiet.
Let me see if I can figure out a way to turn it up.
OK, well, after googling I found the problem. I don't know how to fix
it though, but it's at least a start for us.
Apparently, something in 10.7 and above with the midi Synfire gm midi
synth broke. This means all instrument patches are way quieter than
normal.
The web site I went to suggested that you update to HN2 2.5.0 or
higher to fix the problem, but I have yet been able to find a donwload
link anywhere to do this.
Don't ask me what HN2 2.5.0 is/does? I have no clue aside fixing the
problem. You now basically know what I know.

Also, and I freely admit that compared to your issues this one is
petty, but midi playback is still awful under Mountain
Lion. I can play midis in VLC, or boot into snow leopard from my
external drive to get good playback, but sometimes, I just
want to use quick preview, and it's still as poor of quality as it
was under lion. I know it's not an important feature, but
I'm still slightly bummed out that it was never addressed.

Hi all.
I've found 2 things so far that haven't been fixed in Mountain Lion.
1. Tables in documents. These still appear to not work properly with
VoiceOver. VO still announces new line new line when I
tried this just now.
2. Web page selection. This still doesn't work. I know that the web
page scrolls when I move with the arrow keys, but
VoiceOver is still not reporting that the page is scrolling.
I think I'll be sending these findings to Apple Accessibility to see
what they have to say about these really old issues.
Sorry to spoil the good mood of the new OS launch, Matthew Campbell.
