Please send me the MIDI file if you want me to futher try to debug the issue. > model name : Pentium II (Deschutes) > cpu MHz : 300.775 I don't think a P-II 300 can handle timidity at full CPU-hogging mode very well.

Oh, and try -in, the ncurses interface is the best maintained interface for TiMidity. In fact, -in and -ia are the only two interfaces worth bothering with (other than -iA which is for something completely different). -- "One disk to rule them all, One disk to find them.
