Preferably free. Can we first tinker before we start spending a lot of savings.

The program is Freeware (hurrah) and can be downloaded at Digital Soundplanet

 

Van Basco's Karaoke Player

This is also a very nice Midi program and again FREEWARE. Click here to download Van Basco's Player.
vanBasco's Karaoke Player is a MIDI program that plays Karaoke (.kar) and standard MIDI (.mid, .midi, .rmi) files.

The Karaoke player has several menus:

The "Control Window", here change tempo, volume, pitch
The "Real-time Midi Output Window", shows notes, volume and instruments.

The Miditzer

A very nice virtual theater organ is the "Miditzer"
or a combination of Midi & Wurlitzer.

There are still many programs to discuss, but I think it would be most useful to mention a few websites that are worth checking out.
View them, download them and enjoy all the beauty Midi has to offer us.

 

Keep in mind that there are also Midi programs that are ad-ware or spyware.
These are programs that are free to use, but at the same time secretly look at what your surfing behavior is. Can they send advertising that apparently interests you.
Shareware are programs that you can use for a certain period of time or for a limited time. After that you have to pay for it.
At least if you want the full version.

 

Usually, when it isn't, they proudly state that it is adware or spyware free.
