Cattail.Nu MIDI Crypt

Resurrect your MIDI files. Finding and using MIDI files has been challenging. Some MIDI players work great for individual files, but don't really support audio producers who want to sort, tag, and quickly find MIDI to use in their DAW.

For example, to hear MIDI in FL Studio, the MIDI must be added to the project and an instrument selected. MIDI Crypt is the solution.

MIDI player and database...

MIDI Crypt is a simple browser and player for MIDI files on your Mac or Windows computer. Import links to your files and play, tag, and show them in the OS. Drag and drop from Finder/Windows Explorer into your DAW.

Features

Play MIDI files without tedious individual opening or assigning instruments.
Once loaded, MIDI files stay in the list next time you open the app.
Store links to thousands of MIDI files.
Does not copy, change, move, or delete files. It just stores the path and file name.
Search by file name, folder name, tag, notes.
Sort by file, folder, or duration.
Playback ignores "silence at the beginning of the track" and starts at the first audible note.
Does not "phone home" or upload/download information.
Your data is yours and is not shared.
Easy export/backup/restore.
