## Overview

This MIDI viewer parses Standard MIDI Files locally in your browser. Instead of just playing audio, it shows the structure of the file — tracks, channels, instruments and note counts — so you can understand what a .mid file contains. Pick a sample or choose your own .midi / .mid file to inspect it instantly with no upload.

## When to use

- You received a .mid file and want to see its tracks and instruments.
- You need to inspect a MIDI arrangement before importing it into a DAW or editor.
- You want a private, in-browser check of a MIDI file's contents.

## How it works

- Select a built-in sample or choose your own .midi / .mid file.
- The viewer parses the MIDI structure in your browser — nothing is uploaded.
- Inspect tracks, instruments, channels and note counts, then switch files any time.

## Use cases

- Previewing MIDI arrangements and ringtone files.
- Checking tracks and instruments before importing into music software.
- Quickly verifying a MIDI file on a machine without a sequencer installed.

## Samples
