16 TiMidity is a MIDI to WAVE converter that uses Gravis
|
|
|
17 Ultrasound(*)-compatible patch files to generate digital audio data
|
|
|
18 from General MIDI files. The audio data can be played through any
|
|
|
19 sound device or stored on disk. On a fast machine, music can be
|
|
|
20 played in real time. TiMidity runs under Linux, FreeBSD, HP-UX, SunOS, and
|
|
|
21 Win32, and porting to other systems with gcc should be easy.

|
|

50 should get the file "timidity-lib-0.1.tar.gz" and unpack it in the same
|
|
|
51 directory where you unpacked the source code archive. You'll want more
|
|
|
52 patches later -- read the file "FAQ" for pointers.
|
|
|
53
|
|
|
54 * Timidity is no longer supported, but can be found by searching the web.
