I finally found a plugin (vst x64) that serves as my midi player in GP! (Windows version). It’s a midi editor/sequencer/looper with many functions that can also be used as a simple midi player. It works perfectly on GP, the automation is apparently complete, it is synchronizable (or not) with the p…

THANK YOU. I looked all over the interweb for this thing (midilooper). The GUI is hideous but it does exactly what I needed. Question: does anyone know how to rewind once you’ve started playing a MIDI file?

The playback mode has to be set to “unsync loop”. Pressing “play” will stop playing and when pressing play again, the loop will start at the beginning and not in the middle of the loop. [snap]

@Hermon re-starting from beginning unfortunately only works for loops. If you want to play the midi-file just once by selecting ‘Unsync 1-shot’, I did not find a way to (re-)play from beginning once the midi-file playing has been started (as available in the GP Audio File Player). Let’s hope for GP…

Sorry, but I did not really detail what I try to achieve: I have created a short midi file which I want play to play several times during a song, but always just once. It should automatically stop playing at the end of the midi file (no loop!) so I have set up GP and MidiLooper that each time I se…

Sorry and sorry again! You are right: In GP Host sync mode, the loop restarts at the beginning but the sound only comes back where it stopped before. I found out how I used to use it, but it was with a widget assigned to the Midilooper play function and controlled by a footswitch. In GP Edit Mode:…

Hey there! Do you have any info on this “something better in GP” that was teased? Just wondering, as the functionality of the midiLooper is exactly what I’m hoping to achieve in Gig Performer.

As far a I know, neither the audio nor the MIDI GP player are loopers. But, there are other solution for that which can be very well integrated in GP like the Melda MSuperLooper.

For looping audio, yes there’s several. For looping MIDI, there’s well, the one mentioned here, that’s been out of development for years. Would LOVE to get a MIDI looping mechanism to GP4, but I presume I’m in a minority here.

What would be the difference between audio and MIDI ? You would like to go on changing some plugin synth parameters ?

You can use midi files as loops using @rank13 's quantize song parts script in conjunction with the regular midi file player. Works great!
