Short: TiMidity++ 2.7.0 -- MIDI to WAVE converter and player Author: Masanao Izumo; Amiga port by Benjamin Niemann Uploader: paulvr email cz (Pavel Vrabec) Type: mus/midi Architecture: m68k-amigaos This program is free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify it under the terms of the GNU General Public License as published by the Free Software Foundation; either version 2 of the License, or (at your option) any later version. The original version of this program was written by Tuuka Tiovonen until TiMidity 0.2i (he discontinued development because he was too busy with work). Masanao Izumo and other people began to hack it, then we officially released the new version, which is called TiMidity++. TiMidity was originally a converter that converted MIDI files to WAV audio files. But now TiMidity++ is not only a converter but also a real-time player that can play a MIDI file in real time. TiMidity does not requires an external MIDI instrument module to play MIDI file; it can perform with software power only. TiMidity++ uses GUS/patch (Glavis Ultrasound) as the voice data to play. It can also handle SoundFont data for voice data. *Features of TiMidity++: - Plays MIDI files without external MIDI instruments - Converts MIDI files to various audio file formats (ex. wav, au, etc.) - Uses GUS/patch and SoundFont for voice data - Displays some information about the music data during playback - Various user interfaces are available (ncurses, motif, xaw, etc..) - Plays MIDI files over a network - Plays MIDI files in archive files - Plays not only SMF files but also MOD, RCP/R36/G18/G36 - Can handle 32 channel data - Can handle user interfaces as dynamically linked modules - Can display a sound spectrogram - Automatically detects the mode of a MIDI file (GM/GS/XG) - Automatically detects drum channels (GS/XG) - Trace playing - Low load - The following MIDI events are supported: NoteOn/Off, KeyPressure, Program, ChannelPressure, Pitchwheel, ToneBank, ModulationWheel, MainVolume, Panning, Expression, Sustain, Portamento, DataEntry, ReverbEffect, ChorusEffect, RPN+/-, NRPN, RPN, AllSoundsOff, ResetControllers, AllNotesOff, Mono/Poly Part, RandomPan, KeyShift, TempoChange, Lyric, InsertText, KARAOKE-Part(@KMIDI), MasterVolume, MIDI-Reset, SystemExclusiveMessages *Requirements: - 68040 processor or better (compiled for 040, could work on 68020+) - 16MB fast RAM, more or less - "ixemul.library" and "ixnet.library" V48 ('040 versions included) - AHI for realtime playing - GUS patch files - MIDI files *Recommended requirements: - 68060 processor - 16bit SoundCard for WAVE playback - EAWPats by Eric A.
