..I am aware that you can load SMF into Logic and Garage Band but they do not sound standard and most times the drum track does not play at all. The program should play a SMF using the Standard voices.


This is actually possible in Logic with Apple's AU plugin "DLSMusicDevice". It's a software GM sound module providing the Quicktime sounds. However, Logic doesn't assign it automatically when loading a SMF. So you have to create as many instrument tracks as you need assigned to the DLSMusicDevice, and after loading the SMF move the individual regions onto them. Hint: Holding the option key when opening/importing a SMF in Logic prevents that any other software instruments are loaded.
