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. | See the MidiHardware page to connect a musical instrument to your computer using MIDI. |
Line 14: | Line 31: |
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. | |

You can use [[Timidity]] to easily play MIDI and [[Karaoke|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). === ALSA === * [[http://alsa.opensrc.org/index.php/AlsaMidi|AlsaMidi]]. * http://www.fluidsynth.org/ and http://qsynth.sourceforge.net/qsynth-index.html * http://pkl.net/~node/alsa-patch-bay.html === Jack MIDI === * jackd can work with MIDI data as well as audio. === OSS === * [[OSS]] * http://www.4front-tech.com/ossapps.html#midi == See Also == * MidiHardware * PatchBay * SoundFont * [[Timidity]] |
