Listening to MIDI on Android

Hello, I discovered a free Android app called MIDI Voyager Free, it can load sf2 soundfonts and play MIDIs in the background, thought I'd share.

You can get MIDIs from here

If someone knows of a better Android app to play MIDI files in the background while browsing the net etc, post it. But preferrably it should be able to load soundfonts.

I use Volcano Mobile's MIDI Player, which can be found on Google Play Store. And yes, it can load soundfonts.

This thread motivated me to see if anyone had a way to open them on iPhones and I found this

I know it's off topic but just in case anyone else had the same issue I did. It's not perfect but it works well enough so far.

This app has the advantage that it doesn't get hickups in playback when playing in the background like what happens with the one I posted. But the Hyper v2 soundfont is broken with it ... the SC-55 3.7 works fine at least.

So far Delta Touch has been my midi player on Android.

Can you have it play in the background?

I don't think so.   I was kinda joking.   It being the portable Doom of choice.

Any website recommendations for non game midi's?

You could choose your favourite midis and think which map they would fit in well and make a full Black Sabbath music replacement wad!

Also, I have rendered some of my favourite Doom and Descent midis into mp3 with a nice soundfont (using VirtualMIDISynth) and they are in my workout music playlist :D

No problemo.   Also you could lift a bunch of midis from old Dwango wads.   There's a ton of Nine Inch Nails and some other good stuff.

There's some more good Alice in Chains among the unused Doom midis.  https://doomwiki.org/wiki/Unused_Doom_music

You know it's weird, I've had that exact same thought for years😅 I'm planning on making my own maps once my PC is up to date(and I've learnt how to!) and Sabbath tracks will be added(although I'll need some help remastering them as a few of them are lacking) 

Since we're on the topic of Android - what apps do you use to listen to internet radio? I can't find any apps that will take .m3u streams like MPC can.

Just tested it, VLC for Android seems to work fine with m3u.
