It's the default format for lots of musical applications with good reason. But for playback? Eh. Anything that's accessible and high fidelity is ideal you obscurist elitist cunt.

> elitist
Laughed out loud in real life. A professional quality Roland MIDI sound module from the mid 90s will give you a much deeper and richer soundstage than any shitty sounding modern format, and you can get them secondhand for a couple of hundred bucks or less these days.

I masturbate using icy-hot, while listening to n*Sync through off-brand ear buds.

I can't disagree, specially since it sounds on every player different. Love the surprise factor! LOVE IT!!!!

MIDI is not really practical as a playback format unless your have a karaoke bar or only like instrumental music.

This is true. However, I must confess that I almost always use my Roland JV-1080 these days. It's just so warm, deep and luscious sounding, with an almost earthy, vintage feel in the midrange, and the soundstage lets you pick out the position of each instrument with almost holographic precision, even if you're in a relatively mediocre listening environment. I've heard a lot of people singing the praises of the newer XV series modules, and I must confess that the first time I heard one, I was very impressed by the light, breezy air in its top end. However, I found that there was, on deeper listening, a somewhat staid, artificial, almost robotic feel to the midrange, whilst the bass, although vigorous, lacked a certain depth and precision that I found in the 1080, and the soundstage was, to say the least, rather flat along the Z axis. After A/B listening tests in my music room, it became clear to me that the 1080 is going to be my default sound module for a long time to come. Vive la Roland!

Excuse my quoting that shitshow of a paragraph in full, but weren't you the one bragging about not being elitist before you unironically spit out gems like, 'so warm, deep and luscious sounding [inside of me], with an almost earthy, vintage feel in the midrange...'?
Audiophilia is a pretentious affliction exclusive to creepy white men with whispy facial hair and a tendency to remark on young girls' physical development.

As I said before, the means to enjoy MIDI music in the highest possible fidelity are well within reach of the common man these days. As for the rest of your ignorant, misinformed tirade, I shall simply choose to ignore it. Thanks.

Your elitism is clearly based on (perceived) obscurity. This was clear from my initial comments. Better luck being right next time. THanks.

The Roland JV-1080 is far from obscure. In fact, it was virtually the industry standard rackmount MIDI synth in recording studios for about ten years.

OP is retarded, MIDI files can be used for a lot more. Cheezy sounds are your computers default way of playing them.
