Description

TiMidity is a MIDI to WAVE converter using Gravis Ultrasound-compatible patch files or soundfonts to generate digital audio data from General MIDI (GM) files. The data can be stored in a file for processing, or played in real time through an audio device. TiMidity has several different interfaces which can be chosen by appending a character to the "-i" interface command line switch. The defaults are: -in ncurses interface -iT vt100 interface -id dumb interface -ir remote interface Some of the interfaces support "play tracing" which shows you the notes being played in realtime. This can be enabled by appending a 't' to the respective interface switch, e.g. to enable play tracing on the ncurses interface use 'timidity -int <filename>'. Available flavors: gtk2 - Build gtk+2 interface which may be used via 'timidity -ig' (does not support play tracing) xaw - Build Xaw interface which may be used via 'timidity -ia' (support play tracing)
