To use TiMidity in its simplest form type the following command string at a console or terminal window prompt : The following examples are all in command-line syntax: TiMidity's GUIs are quite helpful but they do not support the full range of available options. For our exercises we'll use only a few of those options, but the reader is advised to see TiMidity's man page ('man timidity' at the prompt) for a full description of the program's various command-line enhancements.īecause TiMidity is a straightforward application we'll simply look at some of its most typical invocations.
When run from the command prompt TiMidity provides numerous rendering and playback options, far too many to explore here. The program can be run from the console or xterm prompt, and it can be compiled for graphic control interfaces with a variety of toolkits (Gtk, Qt, Motif, Tcl/Tk, XAW, etc.). MIDI note events are translated to audio data and the output may be rendered to a file or as a realtime audio stream.
TiMidity is a MIDI-to-WAV rendering engine that uses Gravis Ultrasound PAT-format soundfiles or SF2-format soundfonts as its sound sources.
