Playing a MIDI (o karaoke) file on Windows has always been a poor-quality experience, because the well known bundled "Microsoft GS Wavetable Synth" synth is just simple: poor samples, mono sound, no effects (reverb, chorus) support.
Software synts deeply improve quality, but sometimes they're difficult to install or limited to specific uses, like the ones integrated in some DAWs or karaoke players. User mode multimedia driver, no reboots, no BSOD. Directly accessible as MIDI Out device, no need for virtual MIDI cables (like MIDI Yoke, LoopBe1). Supports up to 4 virtual devices, each with its own soundfont configuration (new in version 2.x). Virtually unlimited polyphony (limited only by available CPU power). MIDI mixer to set track mute/volume, accessible through systray icon.
