When trying to play the sample sounds at
Codec not supported: VLC could not decode the format "MIDI" (MIDI Audio)
Is it possible to fix this? I've never tinkered with sound on the Pi apart from playing YouTube videos and haven't a clue where to start.
This is on a Pi 4 running Linux raspberrypi 5.4.83-v7l+ #1379 SMP Mon Dec 14 13:11:54 GMT 2020 armv7l GNU/Linux
Thanks for reading,

Midi is not sound. It is just a instruction to use instrument x with note y. Each midi player sounds different.
Download midi file and get some kind of midi player. You will have to find something called "soundfont". This is a database with sampled instruments. Or connect it with sythesizer to use it as midi player.

Yes, but VLC can do this. Explained on its wiki:
Which was the first google hit for "vlc midi" ...
Seemingly no, the key was "fluidsynth", apt did the rest.
Thanks to all!
