soundfont using the sfxload software. Example:
|

sfxload /path/to/8mbgmsfx.sf2
|

If you don't have a MIDI capable soundcard, or if you want to take advantage of
|
||||
your TiMidity samples, then you can ask TiMidity to become an ALSA sequencer
|
||||
output. Here is a quick way to do so:
|
||||
If you don't have a MIDI capable soundcard, there are two options: FluidSynth
|
||||
and TiMidity. We recommend FluidSynth, as on many systems TiMidity will 'lag'
|
||||
behind music. This is very noticable in iMUSE-enabled games, which use fast
|
||||
and dynamic music transitions. Running TiMidity as root will allow it to
|
||||
setup real time priority, which may reduce music lag.
|
||||
|
||||
Asking TiMidity to become an ALSA sequencer:
|
||||
timidity -iAqqq -B2,8 -Os1S -s 44100 &
|
||||
If you get distorted output with this setting try dropping the -B2,8 or

||||
changing the value.

(If you get distorted output with this setting, you can try dropping the

-B2,8 or changing the value. To reduce the possibility of )
|
||||
|
||||
Then the TiMidity port will be visible from the 'aconnect -o -l' list. You
|
||||
should launch it as root, since it will try to set up some real time
|
||||
priority.
|
||||
|
||||
You can also use FluidSynth for a software synth that supports sound fonts,
|
||||
if you don't have any MIDI hardware.
|
||||
|
||||
An example usage of FluidSynth might look like this:
|
||||
Asking FluidSynth to become an ALSA sequencer (using SoundFonts):
|
||||
fluidsynth -m alsa_seq /path/to/8mbgmsfx.sf2
|
||||
Then use 'aconnect -o -l' as above to find what port its on.
|
||||
|
||||
Once either TiMidity or FluidSynth are running, use the 'aconnect -o -l'
|
||||
command as described earlier in this section.
