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

From http://www.cgs.fi/~tt/discontinued.html :

|
|
|
If you'd like to continue hacking on TiMidity, feel free. I'm
|
|
hereby extending the TiMidity license agreement: you can now
|
|
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
|
|

|
|

|
|
|
|
* 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.
