RuneScape MIDI Player
With this tool, you can hear any MIDI file in the RuneScape SoundBanks! You can also choose to use any custom SoundFonts.
Setup instructions (Custom SoundFont):
- In the File tab, you want to load a MIDI file. It can be any MIDI.
- Next, you want to go to the Preferences tab and set a default SoundFont. It can be any SoundFont as well.
Since you set the preference for your SoundFont, it should remember what you wanted when you re-open the application!
Setup instructions (Official SoundBank):
- In the File tab, you want to load a RuneScape cache. These are typically found online, or if you play Old School RuneScape, it can be found in your user home folder under the path "jagexcache/oldschool/LIVE".
- Now, you can simply go to the File tab again and load a MIDI file.
- Lastly, you can go to the Tools tab, and Test the MIDI with your selected SoundBank, using the cache.
