Randy Heit 10c0d67b78 - Changed the MIDIStreamer to send the all notes off controller to each
channel when restarting the song, rather than emitting a single note off
  event which only has a 1 in 127 chance of being for a note that's playing
  on that channel. Then I decided it would probably be a good idea to reset
  all the controllers as well.
- Increasing the size of the internal Timidity stream buffer from 1/14 sec
  (copied from the OPL player) improved its sound dramatically, so apparently
  Timidity has issues with short stream buffers. It's now at 1/2 sec in
  length. However, there seems to be something weird going on with
  corazonazul_ff6boss.mid near the beginning where it stops and immediately
  restarts a guitar on the exact same note.
- Added a new sound debugging cvar: snd_drawoutput, which can show various
  oscilloscopes and spectrums.
- Internal TiMidity now plays music.
- Changed the progdir global variable into an FString.

[This version of timidity has been stripped for simplicity in porting to SDL,
and then even further for SDL_sound]

If you'd like to continue hacking on TiMidity, feel free. I'm

select the most convenient license for your needs from (1) the
GNU GPL, (2) the GNU LGPL, or (3) the Perl Artistic License.

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
* The GNU General Public License can, as always, be found in the file
"../COPYING".
* 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.
