Play MIDI files on Ubuntu?

[rainbowcrash64]

I've been looking EVERYWHERE for some program that can plaz MIDI files on Ubuntu, but all I get is Timidity, or non-GUI based terminal programs. Is there anything like how Windows has Windows Media player? (and I tried Timidity, but I don't think Ubuntu 14.04 supports OSS)

Do you know what a MIDI file is? It cannot be just 'played back'. midi file needs to be hooked into a sound synthesizer, like fluidsynth, to play anything back. Any gstreamer player is capable of midi playback with the 'gstreamer-plugins-bad' package (provides fluidsynth) requires you to setup a soundfont file though. Windows media player can play back MIDI because it has a default (crap) global synthesizer that practically no one uses (because its crap).

maybe you just want to import your MIDI into a DAW like LMMS or Ardour.
