Advantages
1. Synthesia is graphically superior to other programs 2. When you load a MIDI, you have better control over tracks, and what they consist of (instruments, etc.) 3. Notes can easily be hidden by using the F5 key. This can be used to alleviate lag under most circumstances.
Disadvantages
1. Poorly optimized; Synthesia lags the most out of all MIDI players, so as a result, Synthesia is rarely used for larger MIDIs. 2. Music pieces use way more RAM on Synthesia (excluding 10) than other alternatives (such as Piano From Above), and as a result, some pieces might not open due to the massive RAM usage. 3. Newer versions (8.4, 8.5, 8.6 and 9, excluding 10) lag more than older versions. The least laggy versions are 0.8.0/0.8.1/0.8.2/0.8.3/10.x 4. Only displays a maximum of 88 keys,...
