Hi
I'd like to do some research into current state of Debian MIDI
support. The following is the different usage scenarios I have in
mind.
1. casual user playing back SMF file
A web browser invoking some player. Handled via MIME. Currently it
probably invokes timidity, since timidty+freepats is probably the only
thing in Debian supporting GM.
2. user using Debian as MIDI GM instrument
vkeybd + timidity?
running
timidity -Oj -iA
vkeybd
resulted in a very latent MIDI keyboard. I'm not quite sure if it's my
local setup or it's fundamentally busted
3. user using Debian as MIDI sequencer
vkeybd/external MIDI device + sequencer + external MIDI device or
soft-synth software
4. user using Debian as DAW
Handling audio at the same time as using MIDI, which probably means a
lot of jack connection.
The more interesting parts are 3 and 4, and I would like to know the
current package offerings, and what can be implemented for
interoperation of the packages.
regards,
junichi
