AK Player
The AKPlayer software is a very usefull piece of freeware to play MIDI files to help learn music. It can be downloaded or executed by clicking on the link below. I suggest that you download so that you do not need to be connected to the Net to play MIDI files. Store the executable file on your hard drive and double click on the AKoffPlr.exe file name when it is displayed by your File manager. Alternatively you can create an ICON on your desktop and double click on it to start the AK Player. The AK Player can be used to play MIDI files in different ways. You can click on solo to hear just your part or play all tracks together. It is pretty straight forward after you start the program and open the file you want to play.
There are a couple of very good sites to check for available MIDI files for a chorister to practice with. They are:
The Silvis Woodshed, and
CyberBass
The Cyberbass website provides MIDI files for each voice part as well as all voice parts combined
No MIDI and Other files are currently available for downloading:
MIDI Files can be download to your hard drive.
If you do not get the File download box when you click on the filename shown on the web page, which gives you a choice to open the file or download to your hard drive, try the following:
- Internet Explorer: Right click on the link, and follow this by clicking on "Save target as"
- Netscape browser: Right click on the Windows player if it starts playing. Then Save the file to your hard drive.
Use the AK Player after downloading the files to listen to them
