You need to download patchset, you have freepats in Debian, but it is not complete. I recommend Gravis UltraSound patchset, download it from http://www.anime.net/~goemon/timidity/goemon.tgz Uncompress it to /usr/local/share/midi/. Move the file goemon.cfg to /etc/timidity/. Than add this line to /etc/timidity/timidity.cfg: source /etc/timidity/goemon.cfg Also, you can use soundfonts, there are some sites that enable free download. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
