KMidi is a midi file player and midi to wav file converter.
If you have already given up on midi on Linux/Unix try this! Without expensive hard-ware such as a Gravis-Ultra sound or Sound-Blaster AWE 64 you will get fantastic sound comparable to what you get with the above mentioned hard-ware. FOR FREE!
The catch:
Belive me, for the sound you are going to get this is a small price to pay!
KMidi supports at the moment (Version 0.3) the following platforms:
Ports to other platforms should be easy. Please contact me if you ported kmidi to another platform.
KMidi uses Tuukka Toivonen's timidity 0.2i engine Copyright (C) 1995 Tukka Toivonen together with Takashi Iwai latest sound font patches, which enables you to use SoundFonts with KMidi.
I realize this is a rough release, and I am sure that if you try hard enough you will be able to get KMidi to crash, but I think KMidi is already more than usable and will hopefull give you hours of fun. Rememeber Midi files are typically around 50k or leas and are therefore so easily downloaded that you will never run out of great midi's to play.
Have fun with KMidi!
