#language en ~-[[DebianWiki/EditorGuide#translation|Translation(s)]]: none-~ ---- = MIDI = <<TableOfContents(2)>> == 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). == See Also == * MidiHardware * PatchBay * SoundFont * [[Timidity]] == External Links == * [[WikiPedia:Musical_Instrument_Digital_Interface|Musical Instrument Digital Interface]]; * [[WikiPedia:Musical_Instrument_Digital_Interface#MIDI_Karaoke_.28.kar.29|File formats: MIDI Karaoke (.kar)]] * http://linuxgazette.net/issue15/midi.html - Linux and MIDI: In the beginning... * http://alsa.opensrc.org/index.php/AlsaMidi * http://pkl.net/~node/software/alsa-patch-bay/ - ALSA Patch Bay * http://www.kibosh.org/pykaraoke - !PyKaraoke: MIDI/CDG Karaoke player for Linux * http://www.4front-tech.com/ossapps.html#midi - Applications for Open Sound System: MIDI Tools and Players * http://www.fluidsynth.org/ * http://qsynth.sourceforge.net/ * http://unixmidiplugin.tripod.com/midiSamplePage.html - MIDI test page ---- CategorySound |
