I try to listen to my midi in NWP 1.75 (32 bits version) and By default it load Microsoft Midi Mapper. I want to use SB X-Fi Synth A with Soundfont. In Vista 64 bits all my setting is correct. Even In composer I can choose my synth. The problem with NW Viewer it can't read midi file (.mid,.rmi, etc.)
What can I do
Find a 64bit Vista utility to set the Midi Mapper to "SB X-Fi Synth A with Soundfont"
If will know you succeeded when you can drag a MIDI file on to any of Microsoft's media players and it plays back using the Soundfont. Sorry I can't be more specific. Windows seems to change Midi Mapper manipulation with each version.
That's done a long time ago with a little tweak in the registry (regedit). WMP play well with the synth but not NoteWorthy Player. Maybe the program is too old. I hope that the Noteworthy Viewer 2 will support Midi files
Learn something new every day :) The registry tweaks I have seen change the MIDI mapper. You must have found one that causes WMP to disregard the MIDI mapper.
This old discussion may be of some help: MIDI mapper (https://forum.noteworthycomposer.com/?topic=3799)

It's a long time since I looked at the Noteworthy Player.
Does it really imports and plays MIDI files (like NWC does)?
Try it: NoteWorthy Player - NWC and MIDI File Player (http://ntworthy.com/player/)
Wow!
But it plays midi as-is or like NWC does after importing it? (You know: triplets, pan, bendings...)
Bending worked (on Gliss) but had midi triplets.
Ah, and when in NWC too? ;-)
It does.
