Timidity++...???

2005-06-29 05:48 pm

OK... I have looked through LOADS of messages RE Timidity++... but I can't get the links to work or find the link to download the program on any website! I am desperate for this program, because I think (and I have very limited understanding!) it will solve my problem! I used to convert my midi files to wav by playing in WMP and recording into Sound Recorder. But I now have a laptop computer and the soundcard just isn't anywhere near good enough - also my music is more than 1 minute long!

Can anyone help...?!?!? Or email me the program?? (Is that allowed?)

Thanks! :-)

PS: I downloaded MIDInight Express2, but this seems to need PRG files which I don't have... I presume Timidity++ doesn't?

It is a pity that your soundcard is not good enough.
The other problem, that the Sound Recorder stops after a minute, can be remedied - I have seen it in another thread. Simply 'record' silence, and then copy/paste a few times, thus producing a file of a couple of minutes - or half an hour of silence, if you like. Save the file, you can use it as many times as you like.
Re-use the file every time you want to record longer pieces!
I will leave the software advice to others - Rob.

Tim Brechbill's Timidity++ is the only version I've used. It will do what you need it to do, but I notice that the link to his site no longer works. The other versions for Windows are a bit hard to get working IIRC. If you want Tim Brechbill's version, let me know -- I can send to it you. It was free, so it shouldn't be a problem legally.

Try Synthfont if you want a free, easy to install, windows friendly, midi renderer. I have yet to find a better.

Thank you all!
I have downloaded synthfont and it works perfectly :-) Well, as perfectly as I need it to, anyway!
Thanks again!
