Greetings all, I'm trying to split a .mid file t.mid into separate channels eg t_cha0.mid t_cha1.mid t_cha4.mid then convert each of those to wav t_cha0.wav t_cha1.wav t_cha4.wav so that I can treat them with effects eg using sox then mix them back together eg using ecasound.BUT when I convert mid->wav using timidity, eg: timidity -Ow -o t_cha1.wav t_cha1.mid the four seconds of initial silence in t_cha1.mid before the first note gets suppressed :-( thus destroying the co-ordination between my files and making mixdown impossible :-( I've been through man timidity and man timidity.cfg and there are hundreds of options, but I see nothing to disable the destruction of the initial silence. I tried inserting a note_off event into t_cha1.mid just before the 4-second initial silence, but timidity is 'clever' enough to ingore it :-( Does anyone know a timidity option to preserve initial silence ? I'm on debian stable ...
