This is the README file for TiMidity v0.2i
TiMidity is a MIDI to WAVE converter that uses Gravis
Ultrasound(*)-compatible patch files to generate digital audio data
from General MIDI files. The audio data can be played through any
sound device or stored on disk. On a fast machine, music can be
played in real time. TiMidity runs under Linux, FreeBSD, HP-UX, SunOS, and
Win32, and porting to other systems with gcc should be easy.
TiMidity Features:
* 32 or more dynamically allocated fully independent voices
* Compatibility with GUS patch files
* Output to 16- or 8-bit PCM or uLaw audio device, file, or
stdout at any sampling rate
* Optional interactive mode with real-time status display
under ncurses and SLang terminal control libraries. Also
a user friendly motif interface since version 0.2h
* Support for transparent loading of compressed MIDI files and
patch files
* Support for the following MIDI events:
- Program change
- Key pressure
- Channel main volume
- Tempo
- Panning
- Damper pedal (Sustain)
- Pitch wheel
- Pitch wheel sensitivity
- Change drum set
* TiMidity requires sampled instruments (patches) to play MIDI files. You
should get the file "timidity-lib-0.1.tar.gz" and unpack it in the same
directory where you unpacked the source code archive. You'll want more
patches later -- read the file "FAQ" for pointers.
* Timidity is no longer supported, but can be found by searching the web.
