[SOLVED] TiMidity++ error on WPS (Ksoftseq - sound loop)
Martin Iturbide:
Yes Lars. I got exited thinking that this was a Timidity++ release with MMOS2 components, but nope, it was that I forgot that I installed Timidity MCD on that VM.

Hey Martin,
In case you didn't know, Ko Myung-Hun has made an MMOS/2 MIDI player called 'Ksoftseq' that uses Soundfonts and Fluidsynth. Available on Hobbes. It works great here - you can double click a MIDI file and it plays. You need the latest Fluidsynth, the latest Kai and kmididec as well as ksoftseq (all on Hobbes). Also need at least one soundfont (named as ksoftseq.sf2 in C:\MMOS2), but there are tons of them out there and fluidsynth comes with one. There is even eawpats.sf2 if you want to keep the Timidity sound.
Regards,

Thanks David. I will try it out.
But my main issue is that are applications (some old games) that reproduces MIDI files by going through the MMOS2 component, so having a MIDI codec on MMOS2 will be the best thing to experience those old games with MIDI sound.

Hi Martin,
That's what I mean... it uses a MIDI codec*. You double click a MIDI file and it plays just like a WAV file. A new tab is added to the Multimedia setup app too...
Regards,
*EDIT: technically not a CODEC, but an IOProc.

Hi David.
I'm trying to configure "'Ksoftseq". I installed it on a fresh ArcaOS 5.0.6 VM.
I followed:
- yum install libkai
- yum install fluidsynth
- Installed kmididec (manually) - https://github.com/komh/kmididec/releases
- Installed - Ksoftseq (with minstall) - https://github.com/komh/ksoftseq/releases
I rebooted and it seems that something on the MMOS2 broke, because the startup sound keep looping the last part.
Mid files are not working by double clicking it.
I recorded a quick video with the phone: https://youtu.be/BhP1QGBHEQE
Now I have to know how to uninstall "Ksoftseq" to see it I get it back and keep trying.
Regards
