Latest reviews of Musk MIDI Player app for iPhone and iPad

Great app!
Well thought out. Very easy to use.
Only plays vibraphone and sine.
I wasnt expecting to be able to change the instrument. That is a plus. But there is only two instruments. Those instruments gets quiet at low pitch. This also means that this app only plays those instruments on your midi files, regardless of what instrument your midi calls for.
VERY POOR!
Cant play midis properly on my iPad...delete this!
