BlackMIDI:The Tsar Bomb

The Tsar Bomb was an old Black MIDI project initiated by Emex Dénvîr and like it's predecesor, The Nuker series, it was known for their usage of TheSuperMarioBros2’s melodies, Touhou and Beatmania songs as well as high note counts. It was originally aimed to reach 1 Billion notes as the main goal, but due to multiple issues, it got canceled and never reached it's goal, later Emex left the team and the MIDI was continued without him. Compared to it's predecesors, the main sections in TTB are considerably stronger than in The Nuker 2 and 3, although the former two have stronger final crash (even though TTB never managed to reach it's goal). Like it's predecesors, The Tsar Bomb was also leaked.

## The Nuclear Team

The team behind TTB was known as "The Nuclear Team" and was composed by:

* Emex Dénvîr
* Sir Spork
* BlackHawk 580
* Alexander Verevkin
* KF2015.

Misc:SoundFont

SoundFont is a brand name that collectively refers to a file format and associated technology designed to bridge the gap between recorded and synthesized audio, especially for the purposes of computer music composition. SoundFont is also a registered trademark of E-mu Systems, Inc., and the exclusive license for re-formatting and managing historical SoundFont content has been acquired by Digital Sound Factory.

SoundFont technology is an implementation of Sample-based synthesis, first used on the Sound Blaster AWE32 sound card for its General MIDI support, and is still supported on current Sound Blaster products.

## Features

File extension: \*.sf2 (Common), \*.sfz, \*.sf1 (Pre-SF2 era), \*sf3, \*.sfpack

Size: Depending of the samples used and compression

Audio Quality: Depending of the samples used and compression

## Functionality

Sample playback based MIDI synthesizers use wavetables to define the base samples that are used to render their MIDI files. MIDI files in themselves don't contain any sounds, rather they contain only instructions to render them, and consequently rely on the wavetables to render such sounds correctly. SoundFont-compatible synthesizers allow users to use SoundFont banks to augment these wavetables with custom samples to render their music.

A SoundFont bank contains base samples in PCM format (similar to WAV files) that are mapped to sections on a musical keyboard. A SoundFont bank also contains other music synthesis parameters such as loops, vibrato effect, and velocity sensitive volume changing.

This doesn't apply to both SFZ/SFPACK formats, that are able use OGG/FLAC/MP3 stream files.

SoundFont banks can conform to standard sound sets such as General MIDI, or use other wholly custom sound-set definitions.

Software:Microsoft GS Wavetable Synth

Microsoft GS Wavetable Synth is the MIDI Synth that is bundled with Windows releases. It is licensed by Roland and based on the first release version of Virtual Sound Canvas, at the time a commercial product. It contains its SC-55-based sound set which, while more compact and downsampled, was considered to be high quality at the time. Though its limitations have caused it to age poorly, it is still used as a standard for MIDI composers. For playback, some better alternatives do exist now, such as Coolsoft VirtualMIDISynth and BASSMIDI; in fact, despite some differences, the sound set plays better in these synths.

## Advantages/Disadvantages

### Advantages

* Does not require installation on a Windows computer.
* Loads quickly due to compact size.

### Disadvantages

* Notable Lag and note interruptions, especially so in Windows Media Player.
* Limited polyphony (32).
* Lack of Reverb, Chorus, and Delay effects.
* Cannot use variant instruments, despite sound set including some.

## Trivia

* Under Windows 9x, it's available when using WDM audio drivers only. VxD drivers have zero support for Windows Multimedia.
Software:OmniMIDI

OmniMIDI, previously known as Keppy's MIDI Driver and Keppy's Synthesizer, is a MIDI synthesizer made by the BMT member KaleidonKep99.

It was first released on May 17, 2015 as a modified version of the BASSMIDI Driver. The user had to install the normal, unmodified version of the BASSMIDI first, then replace the required DLLs with the modified ones.

Its first self-contained release (Not relying on BASSMIDI Driver anymore) was version 1.5 bugfix 49, released on July 13, 2015.

Currently the *de facto synth* in the Black MIDI Team (With exceptions), it's able to achieve close to 1ms audio latency, without having to trade for audio quality.

It runs on the same BASS libraries as its sister-like synths, CoolSoft VirtualMIDISynth/CoolSoft VirtualMIDISynth 2 and BASSMIDI Driver, but unlike them, it also supports ARM64 releases of Windows.

## Keppy's Direct MIDI API (KDMAPI)

Keppy's Direct MIDI API is a programming interface first introduced in release 4.5.1.2, and made available to developers with release 5.0.3.7.

It allow developers to bypass the Windows Multimedia API, which is the cause of poor performance in legit runs of big and resource-intensive Black MIDIs.

## Advantages/Disadvantages

### Advantages

* It's a hybrid between the audio quality from BASSMIDI Driver (no stuttering) and the fluidity from CoolSoft VirtualMIDISynth 2.
* There's no click noise when a note is killed.
* Only one MIDI port, while the user is able to switch between soundfont lists. (Up to 16 lists - 8 are disabled by default)
* Debug mode available, like CoolSoft VirtualMIDISynth 2.
* Currently the only synth that works perfectly with Windows 8.x and newer.
* No performance impact whatsoever. (When using WASAPI and ASIO, or DirectSound with the old buffer mode disabled.)
* Way less demanding minimum requirements than BASSMIDI Driver and CoolSoft VirtualMIDISynth.
* Many customization options, compared to its sister-like synths.
* MT-32 mode that allows old DOS games or MT-32 specific MIDI to play properly.
* Temporary voices limit burst if there's enough rendering headroom
* Supports the MIDI Stream API

### Disadvantages

* Doesn't use the PnP service to register itself as a user-mode driver, and as a result has issues on Windows 10 build 2004 or newer.

## Other

### Special functions

* People can change between soundfont lists by pressing CTRL and a number from 1 to 8 (CTRL + 1 = List 1 etc.)
* Able to achieve near 1ms latency by using the ASIO engine.
* All apps without native KDMAPI support on Windows 10 must be patched with the integrated WinMM patch to dramatically improve performance
Creator:Snake8Bit

Snake8Bit (or just Snake) is a German MIDI blacker that makes videos of black MIDIs with no lag. He specializes in 8-Bit music/MIDIs. One of his most famous black remixes is of the chiptune song "Ogge - Kuk". It contains a high volume of notes in its ending. Other chiptune songs he has made are I'm Hetero (Ogge), I am Mr. Kuk (Ogge), but he also works on other chiptune songs such as Unreal Superhero 3. His most popular video is an Impossible Remix of the My Little Pony Theme Song.

### How to make a Snake8Bit video

1. In Synthesia, play a Black MIDI on a slower speed while recording. This can be 10%, 5%, 3%, and even 1% if the MIDI is that intense.
2. Open a video editor such as Sony Vegas or PowerDirector. Snake himself uses ScreenFlow, a Mac-exclusive program.
3. Speed up the recording of the MIDI back to normal speed. If you played it at 1%, you would make the video 100 times faster, 5%, 20 times faster, and so on.
4. Import an audio track. Speeding up Synthesia will not provide the audio. The source for the audio can be found in different ways like exporting it from a MIDI sequencer like FL Studio or Synthfont, but you can also use a better MIDI player or even a converter.
5. Render it and you're done! Upload it to YouTube! Keep in mind that videos of this type can be pretty size-intensive.

Note that sometimes, it will not work. It depends on how fast Synthesia is set to, as well as the lagginess of the MIDI itself.
Creator:Ryan0201

Ryan0201 (formerly RyanVideoChannel) is a Taiwanese BMT member who edits videos, compiles comparisons, and creates no-lag videos in Piano From Above and Synthesia. Some of his videos are in other MIDI players but typically he uses Piano From Above. He uses Windows 10, and Sony Vegas. Ryan's videos usually contain minimal to zero lag.
Software:Windows Multimedia Wrapper

The Windows Multimedia Wrapper is a replacement for Windows Multimedia (WinMM.dll) made by KaleidonKep99, which aims to get rid of the bottleneck caused by the midiOutShortMsg function, which is used by most MIDI applications to output MIDI events to the synthesizer.
It is only available for OmniMIDI, and will *NOT WORK* with other MIDI drivers.

As of June 6, 2018, this patch makes OmniMIDI the best performing MIDI driver available.

## How does it work?

Windows allows developers to make apps load DLLs from their own directory first, before being redirected to the system folder.

The wrapper takes advantage of this function, by replacing various important functions with its own, and redirecting the rest of the calls to the real Windows Multimedia API's DLL.

## Why is it not compatible with other MIDI drivers?

The wrapper is *NOT* compatible with other MIDI drivers because it takes advantage of a new API introduced in OmniMIDI 4.5.1.2, called KDMAPI (Keppy's Direct MIDI API).

## Advantages/Disadvantages

### Advantages

* Completely gets rid of the bottleneck caused by *midiOutShortMsg*, making it faster than any other patch available. (Even the one based on ReactOS files)
* Beats Windows 7 in MIDI performance.
Creator:BedrockSolid

BedrockSolid is a Black MIDI composer/player and a soundfont maker who is in the Black MIDI Team. He lives in the United States. He originally uploaded videos twice a day, and most of them consisted of Black MIDIs that he has composed. Now his channel is home to a variety of gaming videos, commentaries, memes, compositions, and of course, Black MIDIs. He can program to some extent in the languages of Python, C++, Java, JavaScript, HTML, and Danmakufu. He has made a (rather useless) way to access MIDI programs using Bedrock's MIDI Launcher, and his own MIDI player. He has an unreleased MIDI generator that is no longer being made.

BedrockSolid enjoys playing rhythm games and Touhou. He initially was one of the most active uploaders of the Black MIDI Team on YouTube.

### Black MIDIs

BedrockSolid started uploading on his YouTube account on March 25, 2014 when he uploaded his computer playing TheSuperMarioBros2's black of Bad Apple!!, which had 4.6 million notes.

He has currently made approximately 100 black MIDIs. His MIDIs usually consist of Touhou Project songs, anime songs, video game songs, and pop songs.

### Composing MIDIs and Soundfonts

BedrockSolid used to compose Black MIDIs with Minecraft Note Block Studio, which is very basic and cannot do as much as other programs. However, when combined with programs such as Anvil Studio it can work to some extent. His older MIDIs were very bad in comparison to his MIDIs now. He now uses FL Studio 12 for his Black MIDIs, and was the first BMT member to pay for FL Studio.

He has made a few soundfonts, some of which can be found on his channel. He used SGM, JV1080 Nice Piano, and Z-Doc Soundfont III as soundfonts, before moving to Bedrock Wide Piano. He will now use Frozen Snow's Yamaha C7 soundfont for videos.
Team:CBMT

The China Black MIDI Team, also known as the China Black Music Team or CBMT, they are one of the Asiatic Black MIDI Teams along with the JBMT, KBMT and OMBS. Currently the CBMT is part of the China Black MIDI Association which is composed of the CBMT and the OMBS Teams in a single group.

Historically, CBMT were known for begin quantity blackers (Note count > MIDI Quality) in the past, but starting around 2014-2015, they made a turn to higher quality MIDIs and "Black Music".

Notable/known CBMT Members:

* Zumn Zheng (Leader)
* Thinker-AI (Leader)
* Li Dick
* Graham Bill
* IceWiiMaker (Known as Xinyu Qian)
* clean Black
* Junior XZB.
* BBT Lolipop.
* but the Judge.

Song:Septette for the Dead Princess

Septette for the Dead Princess often also called "*Remilia Scarlet's Theme*" and shortened as "*RST*" is a soundtrack from the game Touhou Project 6: Embodiment of Scarlet Devil. It serves as theme for the final boss, Remilia Scarlet.

The first Black MIDI of this track was created by Andrew B. and had about 12 thousand notes. This MIDI has since been overshadowed into obscurity mainly because the author deleted all Black MIDI videos from his YouTube channel and the sheer lack of uploads of it. Andrew's version was then reblacked by TheSuperMarioBros2 to about 675 thousand notes.

Today the most popular Black MIDI of *RST* is by Thinker-AI and has roughly 14.9 Million notes. The biggest MIDI of this song known is by Thinker-AI too and has over 300 million notes.

CLASES VIRTUALES:
La educación a distancia, que iniciara hace más de tres décadas con los medios de comunicación de la época (radio y televisión específicamente), ha evolucionado actualmente a niveles cada vez más personalizados, atractivos, eficientes y especializados, sólo por mencionar algunas de las bondades. Las plataformas virtuales actuales brindan más y mejores recursos educativos al mismo tiempo que hacen uso de la tecnología de la información, como lecciones en video, "podcasting" (transmisión de voz) y redes sociales. Actualmente, uno puede tomar cursos, obtener títulos en muchas profesiones en línea e incluso obtener certificados, maestrías y doctorados de forma remota. Estos desarrollos han creado limitaciones y obstáculos de todo tipo, por lo que los educadores y expertos han ideado una serie de técnicas para despertar la motivación "en línea" de los estudiantes para desarrollar habilidades de comprensión y aprendizaje, así como una gestión eficaz y la seguridad educativa en su conjunto.

Derecho a la educación en tiempos de pandemia

## EDUCACIÓN A DISTANCIA

La pandemia de enfermedad por coronavirus (COVID-19) ha provocado una crisis sin precedentes en todos los ámbitos. En la esfera de la educación, esta emergencia ha dado lugar al cierre masivo de las actividades presenciales de instituciones educativas en más de 190 países con el fin de evitar la propagación del virus y mitigar su impacto.

En el ámbito educativo, gran parte de las medidas que los países de la región han adoptado ante la crisis se relacionan con la suspensión de las clases presenciales en todos los niveles, lo que ha dado origen a tres campos de acción principales: el despliegue de modalidades de aprendizaje a distancia, mediante la utilización de una diversidad de formatos y plataformas (con o sin uso de tecnología); el apoyo y la movilización del personal y las comunidades educativas, y la atención a la salud y el bienestar integral de las y los estudiantes

### Principales dificultades en el ámbito educativo

* El acceso a recursos tecnológicos para estar conectados con el centro educativo. Algunos hogares no disponen de equipos suficientes ni adecuados, en muchas ocasiones son obsoletos y no soportan las aplicaciones más utilizadas, para poder desarrollar actividades laborales (padres/madres) y escolares, teniendo en cuenta además la convivencia de varias necesidades dentro de la misma familia. 
* El acceso a internet. No todas las familias poseen un acceso a internet estable que permita la conexión de los miembros de la familia. Para las familias que cuentan con varios/as hijos/as en etapa escolar, supone una dificultad tener que compartir los dispositivos informáticos entre ellos/as y además tener que apoyar las diferentes actividades propuestas.
* La falta de accesibilidad cognitiva de entornos digitales. La accesibilidad cognitiva se refiere a que los entornos sean fáciles de usar y entender. Tiene que ver tanto con el contenido (la facilidad de comprender textos e imágenes a vídeos), como con la navegación (la facilidad de navegar por páginas web.

### Propuestas para la vuelta a las aulas

* Primar la salud y el bienestar emociona
* Garantizar el reconocimiento de los aprendizajes que niños y niñas con discapacidad intelectual hayan podido adquirir durante el periodo de confinamiento, teniendo en cuenta la enorme dificultad que suponen la falta de apoyos y de adaptaciones.
* Garantizar refuerzo escolar en base a las necesidades detectadas para cada alumno/a.
* Ampliar el refuerzo escolar durante el próximo curso, dentro del horario y en horario extraescolar.

Creator:Sir Spork

Oscar Castle-Roper, known online as Sir Spork, was a member of the Black MIDI Team from Wales, UK. He has been blacking MIDIs since early 2016 and typically remixed pop songs and obscure songs.
Oscar uses Piano From Above for most of his videos, and makes his MIDIs in FL Studio.

As of January 2019 he has moved content and is now following his stronger interests, Retro technology, Chiptune and Programming.

The style of his blacking was similar to that of percussive MIDIs popularized by the Asian side of the Black MIDI community, though it is very different to it at times. He has created many MIDIs before and aimed to push one out at least once a week. Which he did not manage to do as he lost motivation to make Black MIDIs.

His most popular MIDI is 'In the Hall of the Mountain King' gathering over 27 Million Views on MusiMasta's Channel, making it the 2nd most viewed Black MIDI on YouTube.
Orkmont

**Orkmont** is one of the islands that make up the island chain called the Iron Islands. The island is controlled by House Orkwood.

Software:Windows Media Player

Windows Media Player (abbreviated WMP) is a media player and media library application developed by Microsoft that is used for playing audio, video and viewing images on personal computers running the Microsoft Windows operating system. It plays all media files if a codec pack is installed. WMP is a terrible Black MIDI player as it takes a while to open files and also stops the playback at crash points or points with a large amount of notes. Microstop stopped it's development after Windows 8 release and it got depreciated by Groove Music (for audio) and Microsoft Movies & TV (for video) on Windows 10. The later unable to play MIDI files, including Black MIDIs

## Advantages/Disadvantages

### Disadvantages

* Slow at opening Black MIDIs
* Stops playing on big crash points
* Limited at 100 million of notes
* No longer in development
* 32 bit only, even on 64 bit Windows

Software:MMVis

MMVis (Multimedia MIDI Visualizer) is an attempt to create a PFA clone which performs much better while looking as close as possible to the original.
Documentation on the keycombos can be found here.

## Functionality

In order to try to make MMVis compatible with as most devices as possible, it uses OpenGL 1.1 as its renderer, making it compatible with older machines via Windows' software OpenGL renderer when no hardware acceleration is available.

Due to how MMVis' code is structured, it's possible to hook any software synthesizer up which supports bypassing modMessage completely. The only known synthesizer which allows this is OmniMIDI, and there is support for it already built in for an increased performance.

## MIDI interface support

Currently MMVis only supports KDMAPI's SendDirectData, but in the distant future it might get support for WinMM to be able to use other MIDI devices.

## System requirements

### Recommended

* Intel Core i7 or AMD FX or better
* A dedicated graphics card capable of OpenGL 1.1 acceleration
* OmniMIDI
* Windows 8.0 or newer

### Bearable for Black MIDIs

* Intel Core i7 2620M
* Integrated graphics capable of OpenGL 1.1 acceleration
* OmniMIDI
* Windows 7 SP1

### Absolute minimum required

* At least dual-core CPU (at least 3 cores required to not bottleneck the playback)
* Windows XP
* OpenGL 1.1 acceleration or software renderer

## Issues

* Due to the playback and rendering thread being separate, if you exit by closing the main window, it'll crash with a very high chance. The reason is unknown.
* Because the visualizer updates the notes on a thread separate from the render callback, if there are too many notes to process some notes will be "eaten" before they could even reach the piano roll, hence causing "note tearing".

## Advantages/Disadvantages

### Advantages

* Much, much faster than PFA
* Uses much less RAM than PFA because it parses MIDIs in real time
* Includes mmidi's adaptive timer for a better lag compensation
* Minimalistic and small
* Configurable renderer to limit visible notes for weaker devices
* Rendering recovery (when it works)

### Disadvantages

* Way too minimalistic
* Not user-friendly
* The "note catcher" can stop indefinitely, making the program impossible to exit without using Task Manager.
* The rendering recovery code has noticeable artifacts
* No WinMM support
* Slightly reduced performance due to expensive transitions between .NET and native code
* Doesn't work on macOS
* Is actually slower than PFA

## Trivia

* The window title is just a joke on Piano From Above's name, and it has nothing to do with the program itself. The officiall name of this program is MMVis.
* Rendering the outline for the notes takes almost 6x as much time as it is to render the notes themselves. Without the note outlines the rendering could even get 10x performance improvement with code restructuring.
* OpenGL 1.1 is not ideal for modern GPUs because the note rendering can't be batched due to note outline rendering, which could be solved by using shaders on modern OpenGL implementations.
* Due to this being slower than PFA, it is considered a failure.
Software:Domino

Domino is a Japanese MIDI sequencer developed by Takabo Soft that some of the Black MIDI Team members use to create or black a MIDI. This officially only comes with the Japanese language, but a community English patch can be found here.

## Advantages/Disadvantages

### Advantages

* Performance is faster than FL Studio
* Higher resolution (PPQN) can be chosen
* MIDI events can be edited manually
* Can handle up to 22 million notes, if the 4GB patch is applied, up to 80 million notes can be handled

### Disadvantages

* Large MIDIs can take a long time
* Playback is very laggy, although applying the WinMM Wrapper Patch improves performance significantly
* Duplicated notes are removed (Although overlapping notes are kept)

Creator:Derplet1

Derplet1 is a member of the BMT that makes MIDIs, and plays other MIDIs. He is sometimes active, and may take large hiatuses over equipment problems. He left on July 12, 2014.
### History

Derplet1 joined the BMT sometime in early 2013. He made his first MIDI called WTFmaster, which is meant to be a parody of Necrofantasia. Later on he made better MIDIs. His original computer crashed after an HDD failure, so he went and got a newer one. He made a Dead Zone 2 Million MIDI, along with what was going to be the Shut Up trilogy, but didn't make the third one completely before he resigned.
Software:Action

Mirillis Action! is a computer/game recorder. It is not very popular and it is most used by gamers. You can see an example here.

## Advantages and Disadvantages

### Advantages

* Doesn't use much of CPU.

Creator:ScubDomino

ScubDomino (born October 21, 2000) is an Indonesian member of the Black MIDI Team who creates black MIDIs and showcases them (as well as others' MIDIs) on his YouTube channel. He has been in the community and the  for well over a year and has created many MIDIs over the course of his career.

Some of the black MIDIs he has created are Undertale's Dogsong, Sky Ruin, The Primal Scene of Japan the Girl Saw, Last of Me, Onigashima in the Fairyland, countless others, as well as some playable piano arrangements.

Aside from black MIDIs, Scub is also actively involved in the Polandball community on Reddit, the speedpainting community, and formerly worked with card dominoes (hence his YouTube channel name at time of creation). He plays dexterity games such as Touhou Project and osu!

Scub's blackening style is akin to that of the Korean blackers in the black MIDI scene - percussive phrases in the form of drums, glissandos, and "funnels" are used to add auditory value and visual effects to the MIDI, though occasionally Scub will resort to using note art.
Software:MAMPlayer

MAMPlayer, or Music Animation Machine MIDI Player, is (or is at least one of) the earliest MIDI Player(s) which was thought up by Stephen Malinowski in 1974. The very first version was made in 1985, the first private release in 1988, and the first public release on 11 June 2006. It has been a long time since it was last updated, the latest release being from 18 August 2006, which is probably the reason why it isn't very good at playing large MIDIs. Despite this, it looks good visually, and one can choose for the notes to be coloured by either track or tonality. The program has had only 34 updates since it was first released publicly, all within a few months of each other. The program is used the most by TrollfacepalmAcer78.

It is unique in the sense that it has twelve different display modes, which all have their own use and look very different. They are, in order: pitch bars, circle of fifths colour wheel, interval types wheel, interval types + pitch bars, shapes, harmonic staff, harmonic compass, harmonic compass + pitch bars, triads, part sequence, part motion, part trajectory. Some modes lag less than others due to having to display less. As with most other MIDI Players, this is a 32-bit program, so it is recommended to use the 4GB Patch on it.

The program has its own file format, the \*.mamx file. There are six MAMX files of classical pieces available to download off the MAM Player Page. There does not seem to be any kind of MAMX file editor or any other MAMX files.
Exhibition Game

Software:Zenith

Zenith is a program developed by Arduano. Zenith is a MIDI renderer, although it can play in real-time using KDMAPI.
Zentih can render MIDI in different modes, such as MIDITrail+, PFA+, Textured (like UMP), and others. These modes come with a shape of .dll plugins, and may be developed by anybody that is capable on C#. These modes has various degrees of customization, making it flexible for any use.

Zenith is pretty optimized on rendering MIDI, compared to Ultralight MIDI Player and TheGhastModding's Video Generator. It also has a small memory footprint. It is also heavily uses the OpenGL graphics. This makes rendering faster, but prone to crash for low-end graphics card or integrated graphics with dense Black MIDI. It also doesn't support old drivers since it uses newer version of OpenGL.

## Advantages/Disadvantages

### Advantages

* Very fast compared to other MIDI renderers.
* Can render very high resolution videos (up to 16k) with high frame rates.
* Has anti-aliasing with super sampling anti-aliasing.
* Very RAM optimized, small memory footprint.
* A lot of default plugins to choose and heavily customizable.
* Custom render plugins that can be created by anyone.
* Option to add audio directly to the video.
* Option to render transparency mask for video editing.
* Real-time video preview using KDMAPI.

### Disadvantages

* Heavily relies on single-threaded CPU.
* No built-in audio engine
* Prone to crash on low-end graphics.
* Limited on RAM clock speed.
* Native support only on Windows.

Software:VirtualMIDISynth

## Coolsoft VirtualMIDISynth 1.x

CoolSoft VirtualMIDISynth is a MIDI synthesizer driver that is used in conjunction with a MIDI player. It runs on the same base as BASSMIDI Driver and Keppy's MIDI Driver.

### Advantages/Disadvantages

#### Advantages

* Choice of soundfont.
* Lots of customization options.
* Has a lot more options to customize play.
* Can load multiple soundfonts.
* Can be faster than BASSMIDI Driver in crash points.

#### Disadvantages

* Doesn't work with MIDITrail, Piano Hero and some programs. (fixed in Coolsoft VirtualMIDISynth 2)
* It stutters more than the normal if BASSMIDI Driver is installed.
* Has issues with the ReactOS winmm.dll
* Stutters a lot if your computer is not strong.
* Can be buggy.
* Doesn't fully support sfz
* Not all MIDI events are parsed. (Under Windows 8, 8.1, and 10 systems)
* Poor performances on single core CPUs.
* Limited to 1000 voices via configurator.

## Coolsoft VirtualMIDISynth 2.x

VirtualMIDISynth 2.x is the second generation of VirtualMIDISynth 2.x introduces a deep and important architectural change: Driver and Synth components have been split in two distinct parts, while the Configurator is now included into the new Synth.

The driver is still a DLL, loaded by the MIDI application as 1.x, but now it only contains the "windows multimedia driver" parts needed to identify the virtual MIDI device ("CoolSoft VirtualMIDISynth") to the system and receive MIDI streams from MIDI applications outputs.

The received MIDI stream is then forwarded to the new Synth component: a new, isolated and independent process that listens to VMS2 driver instances and plays the received MIDI streams. Synchronization between multiple driver instances could be done easily, from a single point.

Required BASS libraries are now loaded by the Synth process; so a MIDI application can use BASSMIDI Driver using BASS v.2.2 and VMS using BASS v.2.4 with no issues.

It is encouraged that we test the software out and leave feedback, reporting any additional bugs found to aid development.

VirtualMIDISynth 2.x introduces a deep and important architectural change to VirtualMIDISynth: Driver and Synth components have been split in two distinct parts, while the Configurator is now included into the new Synth.

### Advantages

* Fixes MIDITrail crashing problem
* Fixes hang at playback start
* Soundfonts can be changed without restarting driver
* Two driver devices are supported
