SliTaz SliTaz Forum archive

This forum is now a read-only archive

The SliTaz community has moved to Maille, a forum made for SliTaz.

We looked hard for a replacement for this aging forum, including a move from bbPress to FluxBB last June. But spam bots now get through sign-up even with mail confirmation, and these forum engines are barely maintained anymore. So we wrote a forum in the SliTaz spirit: small, fast, no JavaScript, works on old machines and in text browsers. Everything here stays readable.

How do I get timidity (TiMidity++) working on SliTaz Linux 4.

I have several midi files that I would like to play on SliTaz Linux 4.

In a terminal, I issued the command "timidity myfile.mid".

Timidity starts up, appears to initialize instruments, and then goes quiet.

If anyone has gotten midi files to play audible music on SliTaz 4, then please speak up.

Please reveal the secrets to playing midi files on SliTaz Linux 4.

Thank you,

Rick

Timidity needs freepats sound fonts. It's not auto installed as Depends because it's a 24MB download.

[c]# tazpkg install[/c] freepats-20060219.tazpkg

Thanks mojo.

The link that you provided to the freepats sound fonts tazpkg file did the trick.

Now I can listen to old midi files like James_Bond_007.mid, buffy.mid, etc., etc.

Thanks again,

Rick
