Jens Guell has releases JAX MIDI Module & Player, a MIDI file player and a sound module as standalone app with embedded audio unit (AUv3). It’s available at the intro price of $6.99, increasing by 50% on February 27th.
JAX MIDI Module & Player can be used as a GM/GS (General MIDI) compatible multitimbre synthesizer for playing live or as a file player. It is usabale as a sound module for external MIDI signals and as audio unit for usage in any host application, which supports Apples AUv3 format.
With JAX MIDI Module & Player you can load available standard MIDI files and just play them back. It has a built-in fullly featured GM/GS synthesizer with over 370 different instruments, which is also playable in realtime on 16 MIDI channels simultanously.
The module works like the classic external hardware modules of the late 90s. If used as an audio unit, the MIDI stream is passed thru, so that other apps (like synthesizers and drum machines) can profit from the file playback. Internal sound generation can muted with the main volume slider.
Important GM MIDI controllers are supported and also displayed for overview. The plaing state of all channels is displayed in realtime.
For JAX MIDI Module & Player, you may create your own MIDI files with notes with any external MIDI editor that can create standard MIDI files format 0 or 1, with controllers and tempo changes and all and then play back thru it with the internal or any extternal instrumentation.
AudioUnits (AUv3) require a supporting host application to perform. But our app is able to perform as a standallone host for the embedded unit and provide basic Core MIDI functionality for communicating outside the sandbox.
This build is truly universal, meaning, the unit is available for:
- MacOS (Catalyst Intel)
- MacOS (Silicon M1)
- iOS (iPhone)
- iPadOS (iPads)
