Current version is 3.0.8, see videolan.org
from https://wiki.videolan.org/Midi/:
"""
VLC media player can play Standard MIDI File (.MID) and RIFF MIDI (.RMI) files
since version 0.9.0.
Windows binary builds included MIDI support only in versions VLC media player
from 1.1.0 through 2.0.8. Starting from version 2.1.0, support was dropped due
to security issues. It was re-activated in VLC 3.0.0.
…
Linux
If the FluidSynth codec is not shown in VLC's preferences, you have to install
it as well as sound fonts. E.g. on Ubuntu 18.04 and derivatives it is in the
vlc-plugin-fluidsynthpackage, while the fluid-soundfont-gs and
fluid-soundfont-gm packages install some sound fonts in /usr/share/sounds/sf2.

Don’t know where those come from.
