Midi Gate -- Midi Gate is a small application designed to function as an external helper client for playing Midi files from within web browsers. Midi Gate can also be used as a standalone client for playing local Midi files. Features in Midi Gate include seek and save capability, scan for text, General Midi/GS (Roland)/Patch reset keys, and automatic termination. Overall, Midi Gate is a useful application but is limited to only playing Midi files. If your needs in this area tend to be high, you'll likely find that Midi Gate is a valuable client, but if you're not a serious Midi user, you'll probably prefer a client that plays a variety of audio files. Pros: Plays all your favorite Midi files and functions great as a web browser helper app Cons: Only plays Midi files, some users will find more value in multi-format audio app New: Stay on top feature, queue an unlimited number of files, looping and auto-exit control Version Reviewed: 6.5.1 Date of Review: 5/4/96 Reviewer: Forrest Stroud
