I believe this is because Rev cannot *natively* play MIDI.  You must either
use a player, which utilizes the system's bulit-in media technology (default
is QuickTime, but can also be WMP on Windows if QT is not available).  Or
you must use an external.  Rev's play command is intended for a small set of
audio formats, including WAV.
