I've discussed this a couple other times in some other spots, but still haven't been able to find a solution. I've been wanting to see if MIDI playback or software synthesis is a possibility on a compact Mac running System 6 so I can play music (MIDI files) without the need for external MIDI devices. I've had luck finding MIDI playback software for System 7, but the only program for System 6 I've been able to find - ConcertWare - doesn't want to work.
ConcertWare opens, but will not allow me to open any MIDI files. I've tried this on Mini vMac, my Macintosh SE and my Macintosh Classic - all with the same results. Any ideas on how to get it to play? Here is a GIF with some "screenshots" of the MIDI file and what happens when you try to open it...
Are there any other good options for playing MIDI files on a Mac running System 6 in software? I've also tried getting short .AIFF samples to play (mono, 22kHz sample rate, 8-bit depth) with no luck, either.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
