MIDI file support or player

[tetragono]

Hi.
Audacious has a fully functional fluidsynth backend. Unfortunately it seems that is not enabled by default as the one. You have to go into Preferences->plugins and click over Amidi plugin for configuration.There is a fluidsynth backend. If you manage to install it, you have to load a soundfont.

If you rebuild audacious with fluidsynth installed, the MIDI Player plugin in audacious will have an option to select fluidsynth as your MIDI synth. Then just grab the Unison.sf2 soundfont and be happy.

A simpler way of playing midi files is to use only fluidsynth and a command line in Terminal as I describe in: http://www.salixos.org/forum/viewtopic. ... 9&start=10

To enable playback MIDI-files in players, which use Gstereamer: Exaile, Parole and other, must be:
1. Install two packages: WildMidi and Gus-patches (search here).
2. Create the file /etc/wildmidi.cfg. Add do it the line:

Code: Select all

dir /usr/share/timidity

and copy all content from /usr/share/timidity/timidity.cfg.
4. Delete Gst-plugins-bad (better to do it in the terminal: "removepkg gst-plugins-bad").
3. Rebuild Gst-plugins-bad from here (for Salix OS 13.37) and install it (in the terminal: "installpkg gst-plugins-bad-0.10.21-i486-1gv.txz"). Ready.

Thank you, Andyun!

I'm glad that helped you! You are welcome!

You should add this to the SalisOS Documentation.

For the record: I have done this step

and copy all content from /usr/share/timidity/timidity.cfg to /etc/wildmidi.cfg

after everything else, and it is working

Code: Select all

dir /usr/share/timidity

# I've tweaked the amps pretty well, they should sound pretty good as they are
# now.  If you don't like the balance, just change it :)
