Cross-platform MIDI (or DAW) for Youth Ensembles?

Post by stubbsonic »

A friend leads a marimba class, where notation is not used. It's all taught aurally.

it would be useful to share arrangements with students, where individual parts are on separate tracks, and students can mute, solo, pan parts and change tempos. I think the actual age range of kids needing this capability would be maybe 12 thru adult, but I'm not sure.

The friend who leads the class uses DP. He can export arrangements to SMF. I wonder if there is a cross-platform MIDI player that includes Mac, Windows, iOS, and Android, but that might be a big ask. Mac/Windows would probably work.

Any thoughts?
M1 MBP; OS 12, FF800, DP 11.3, Kontakt 7, Reaktor 6, PC3K7, K2661S, iPad6, Godin XTSA, Two Ibanez 5 string basses (1 fretted, 1 fretless), FM3, SY-1000, etc.
