Description
Version
Media3 main branch
More version details
I'm using the androidx.media3:media3-exoplayer-midi library to play MIDI files, but the audio output sounds thin and lacks richness. In contrast, the Android MediaPlayer plays the same MIDI with much better quality, it's more vivid and accurate.
Is there a way to use a custom SoundFont with ExoPlayer to improve the playback quality?
