Introducing Rondo

Rondo - the unique MIDI player for Mac OS X! Unlike other MIDI players Rondo has been designed to help you follow the music as it plays. Innovative features such as a vertical piano roll with horizontal live playing keyboard and visual track filtering help you focus on just a part of the melody so you can study or play along. Whether you use Rondo as a serious learning aid or just for fun, you will find its simple and uncluttered interface a delight to use yet powerful enough to get the most out of your music.

Play Along

Rondo makes an excellent practice aid for both professional and aspiring non-score reading musicians. Its resizable live-playing pianos located directly over the scrolling note columns make it very easy to see what notes are about to play while the innovative visual track filter allows you to visually isolate a track without affecting the audio. Features such as looping, tempo control (down to 2%) and audio track filtering help you focus on just a part of the melody so that you can play along*.

Enjoy

If you just enjoy listening to MIDI files you will find Rondos simple and uncluttered interface a delight to use. Rondo has a set of intuitive controls to play, pause, fast forward and rewind your music while individual track muting allows you to switch off unwanted tracks. Other features include the ability to jump to a specific bar or section and if you have an external sound module or keyboard connected to your computer Rondo will detect and allow you to playback via that device.

Organize your Files

Rondo's built in library and playlists provides a convenient place to store, view, organize and play your MIDI files. The actual files themselves are not modified in any way - even when renaming them within a playlist - so you can freely organize them however you like. To help you organize your MIDI files you can now create folders to any depth and folders and playlists can be moved to other folders via drag and drop.

New in Version 2009r2

This version of Rondo fixes a problem where the audio would not play under OS X 10.6.

View Release Notes

New in Version 2009r1

• Multiple Font Sizes in Library

  The font size in the Library views can be changed via the Preferences dialog.

• Contextual Menu in Library

  The new contextual menu has a number of commands such as finding a file on disk, creating a new playlist from the selection, selecting duplicates or 'lost' files etc.

• Paste Playlist Selections into another Application

  Copy and past into another application, such as Text Edit or a word processor, is now supported.

• Printable Playlists

  Playlists can now be printed. The font size used for printing is the same as for display. The contextual menu mentioned above can also show where the page breaks will be.

• More Intelligent Importing of Files

  When importing files into the library, duplicates are now detected and a dialog will appear asking how they should be handled. They can be ignored, added as usual, or the files location can be updated in the database. This last method makes it easy to relocate files after moving Rondo to a new computer or hard drive. See the help file for more info.

• More Exporting Options

  Exported files can now be made more General MIDI (GM) compatible by removing Bank Change and System Exclusive events. This may make GS and XG files play better in Rondo.
