[LAU] MIDI players

Does anyone have a pointer for midi file players with a GUI that can
change the tempo while playing?

This is just for playing MIDIs from a computer to an external synth. I
don't need any of the soft synth stuff.

The only player I use with regularity is aplaymidi, but it's a command
line program.

I've tried kmid which would be fine but the output it generates is
"weird". I'm not sure what it is doing, but the sound is distorted. I've
tried to contact the author, but no success.

Also, there is the old playmidi, but I can't get it to output to the
alsa midi stuff. It appears to work, but no output.

That leaves me with stuff like rosegarden ... overkill to just play a
midi file.

I'd hate to start to write my own, just to find a decent one which works.
