# The audio/timidity port

## timidity-2.13.2p4 – MIDI to WAV renderer and player

## Description

    TiMidity is a MIDI to WAVE converter using Gravis Ultrasound-compatible
    patch files or soundfonts to generate digital audio data from General
    MIDI (GM) files.  The data can be stored in a file for processing, or
    played in real time through an audio device.

    TiMidity has several different interfaces which can be chosen by appending
    a character to the "-i" interface command line switch.
    The defaults are:
    	-in		ncurses interface
    	-iT		vt100 interface
    	-id		dumb interface
    	-ir		remote interface

    Some of the interfaces support "play tracing" which shows you the notes
    being played in realtime. This can be enabled by appending a 't' to the
    respective interface switch, e.g. to enable play tracing on the ncurses
    interface use 'timidity -int <filename>'.

    Available flavors:
    	gtk2 - Build gtk+2 interface which may be used via 'timidity -ig'
    		(does not support play tracing)
    	xaw - Build Xaw interface which may be used via 'timidity -ia'
    		(support play tracing)
