juke box for midi on a mac

juke box for midi on a mac

2008-02-14 by don_shifris

I have been using Van Basco's software for 5 years or so. Great, free
product. I just bought a new mac desktop and would like to play my
midi files on it, rather than the pc. Apparently Van Basco does not
have a player for Mac. I have not been able to find one using Google
but I believe that there must be something comparable to Van Basco's,
even if is not free.  Anyone running on a Mac out there????

Thanks in advance.

You can put up to 16,000 files into a playlist!

I am not familiar with the Mac world, but just wanted to note that one feature of Van Basco is that it plays KAR files, so it can show the words in sync with

Here are a bunch of fun player piano rolls with karaoke lyrics added, 
all designed to play well in Van Basco's player:

feature:
