I'd like to see those fixed, and perhaps it could be useful if your program had a crash handler system that could either produce crash log files, or let the user automatically send the crash reports to the dev end. I assume that is possibly related to video memory overload? Also, Piano From Above has much lower video memory/resource footprint than MIDITrail with the same amount of MIDI notes, so I suspect there is a significant amount of inefficiency within the code.Īlso I often tend to get lots of crashes without any error message, and rather goes directly to "This program stopped working", those which either happen randomly, or as soon as I click "x" to close the program. Having ease of use as one of its main characteristics, MIDITrail can prove useful for music creators who want to work with MIDI files in a more interactive environment.Hey, I've sort of been MIDITrail off and on lately, however the biggest turn off for me is all of the crashing and errors that I keep getting, especially when I load larger MIDI files.įor example, I can not load files larger than 2 million notes, or else I get an error message like this before a crash: Also, you can rotate the view with the mouse wheel. The cursor keys help you go back and forth or turn to the right and to the left, just like in a game. What is interesting is that you can use the keyboard and the mouse to change the 3D perspective and zoom in or out to view the piano and the notes from practically any angle. There are various view modes you can choose from and the window size is configurable. The main window also comprises details concerning the file duration, the pitch bend motion, beat and the total number of played and remaining notes. The piano keyboard is displayed, along with each note, its position and length, all on top of a starry night sky. Furthermore, you can adjust the playback speed and jump forward or backwards. MIDITrail features playback controls to help you pause, play, repeat and stop the song whenever you want to. Alternatively, the monitoring function offers you the possibility to use a real MIDI keyboard for playing a song. Once the file is selected, the program displays clear instructions on usage, showing all the available commands and the assigned keys.
At first start, it automatically selects the MIDI port, but you can then change the settings using the 'Option' menu. The application is compatible with multiple MIDI ports and provides support for the SMF format 0/1, allowing the 3D and 2D visualization of loaded MIDI data. MIDITrail is player for standard MIDI files that brings a bit more to the table: aside from enabling you to listen to MIDI files stored locally on your computer, it can display a 3D piano keyboard that plays the audio, which makes it a great instrument to include in your learning toolkit.
