Hardware
The MIDI standard is about signals in a cable. Many musical instruments understand those signals and can communicate through them. The computer can act as a musical instrument, and join the conversation.
There is also a standard midi file format, which describes files containing the same signals. Below is an explanation on how to enable your computer to play such files. MidiHardware describes a method to enable your musical instruments to connect to the computer and be recognised.
Software
The MIME types are
- audio/x-midi
- audio/x-mid
- audio/midi
and the file extensions
mid midi
You can use Timidity to easily play MIDI and ?karaoke files in Linux and Mozilla.
GNOME
Store a midi file in your home directory. Open Nautilus and right click in the midi file. Select "Open with" (other application) or in Properties go to "Open with". Select Timidity in /usr/bin. Appears the text:
'/usr/bin/timidity'
Change it to
'/usr/bin/timidity' -ia
Now, every time you click in a midi file, timidity is going to play it.
You can use a similar procedure for *.kar (open karaoke) files.
Mozilla
Go to Edit / Preferences / Advanced and in "System preferences" mark the box "Use the system preferences" (if you have Timidity installed in your GNOME system).
