Import MIDI file as movie

Most applications that play MIDI files on Mac OS & OS X do so via Quicktime, which has built-in (Roland) synthesizers. On Windows, I understand that the Windows Media Player is accessed.

When working with MIDI within Revolution, you use the Quicktime player if you would like to be able to specify instrument, tempo, meter, etc. I don't know of another way to access a suitable synthesizer. Were you thinking of piping MIDI data to an external tone generator through a USB port?

One problem that is bypassed in using Quicktime to deal with MIDI files:
MIDI files often seem to have proprietary data that is specific to a certain hardware configuration or software application; Quicktime "knows" when and how to ignore such data.

But UDI, you are the one who wrote the stack "makeSMF"; surely you know all of this, so I may be misunderstanding you?
