Hi )
I use MIDI and often , but for XMPlay not available normal plugin for output MIDI to VST synthesizers , for example you can see list of MIDI synthesizers in system ) , but I can not set output to this synths ) if I use in_midi.dll 2.63b of WinAMP , player can not stop play MIDI , and when MIDI end play , player auto close. How this fix ?

Unfortunately, it isn't really possible to use MIDI devices even with the Winamp MIDI plugin because XMPlay requires plugins to use the player's normal output system (the plugin produces sample data for XMPlay to send to the device set in the "Output" options).

Yes , now this so , but this can fix and do user use hardware or VST synthesizers )

I thinked this few days I want offer do this :
On play MIDI , XMI , RMI , MID , RMID , RMIDI and same formats based on MIDI technology , you can do so I sayd in first message , but for correctly work as you sayd in your message , you need make stream of silence generation for send output to player , and MIDI commands send on select MIDI device , I think what this do not hard )

Why in new version not add output to MIDI devies ? You can add option MIDI bypass to ports

XMPlay_User

Be kind , please add option to output MIDI to selected port ) I this ask because I learned what in 2038 year will stop work WMP and me need plaY MIDI with use external MIDI device
Other players also use sound fonts , and this bad , I want out to selected MIDI port )

You could give Falcosoft's "Soundfont Midi Player" a try. It uses BASSMIDI (same engine as XMPlay's MIDI plugin), and despite the name, it does also support MIDI ports.

And this cause I ask you about support output to external MIDI ports , I want have single player for trackers and MIDI ) please , add this option in your version MIDI plugin for your XMPlay )

XMPlay_User

Please , add function in this plugin transfer MIDI stream to :
1) SF2
2) MIDI Port
I insist what this need do , because now your player very good work , but your player sorely miss this feature )

I see what this do so :

as switch SF2 or external MIDI port ) If select external MIDI port , then easy trasfer MIDI commands to selected MIDI port
