Hello, i read the "man page" and read some infos that users put on their web pages, but i somehow can't seem to tell timidity to use a soundfont.
I have downloaded some free sound fonts and demos and unpacked them so they have the extension .sf2 Timidity seems to load /etc/timidity.cfg, which sources /usr/share/timidity/timidity.cfg I tried in timidity.cfg: bank 0 dir /usr/share/timidity 0 %font WurlitzerEPdry.SF2 0 3 (I also tried several countless other combinations) When playing a midi file, the other voices are missing now (as expected), but i also don't hear the piano part. QSynth loads the sound file and says in "Channels": Channel 1 Bank 0 Prog 3 So i created a MIDI file in Rosegarden that plays fine with the old timidity configuration. I created the MIDI file with: channel 1, Bank "General Midi", Program 4 (because the start to count from 1). I also tried it as Program 3. Timidity tells me: No instrument mapped to tone bank 0, program 2 - this instrument will not be heard In the second case it tells me: No instrument mapped to tone bank 0, program 3 - this instrument will not be heard I'm not sure what i need to do to make timidity play soundfonts or how to map soundfonts to MIDI instruments Can anybody tell me what i need to do to play sounds? I'm also not sure if i need to supply more information, if there are any useful tests i could do then please write to me. Thanks for any hints, Torsten. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Throughout its 18-year history, RSA Conference consistently attracts the world's best and brightest in the field, creating opportunities for Conference attendees to learn about information security's most important issues through interactions with peers, luminaries and emerging and established companies. http://p.sf.net/sfu/rsaconf-dev2dev _______________________________________________ Timidity-talk mailing list Timidity-talk@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/timidity-talk
