Where can I download KMid and consoleKMid from ? - 8. To do list - -1. What is ConsoleKMid ? ------------------------- - ConsoleKMid is a small program for Unix in console mode, which uses the same - player engine of KMid. Of course it doesn't have the same friendly - interface of KMid but it works to play midi files. - - If you have the rpm distribution, you will not find the consolekmid program - unless you have compiled it from the src.rpm distribution - - -2. Requirements of consoleKMid -------------------------------- - - A UNIX machine, a soundcard and a /dev/sequencer device well installed. - If you have a GUS, you need a properly installed driver from the Linux - Ultrasound Project, AWE cards are also supported, but you will probably - need to compile consoleKMid in order to get an AWE card to work. - FM devices are also supported. - I have only tested KMid in Linux, but I have had sucessful reports getting - KMid to work on FreeBSD - If you sucessfully run KMid in other unices, please tell me ! - - Currently GUS cards make a little sound when using the oss driver, but are - not supported officially, I'm looking to find people with GUS cards that - want to help me to provide such support (either programming or testing), - as I think that if nobody has worried about it it's because there's no - need for it ;-) - -3. Compiling consoleKMid ------------------ - Do a configure from the parent directory, then go to the player directory, - and do a 'make' . Simple , isn't it ? - - By default it will use the external midi device, if you want to use another - one (fm, awe, or anything else), edit the file main.cc and change the value - of DEFAULT_DEVICE to the one you want, or specify the -d option as in : - - consolekmid -d 1 mymidifile.mid - -4. Installing ------------------ - No installing of consoleKMid is actually done, just copy the consoleKMid file - yourself to where you want (usually /usr/local/bin ). To use the fm device, - you should specify in fmout.cc the path to where the fm patches are installed - ( /etc by default) - -5. Running --------------- - Well, it's quite easy, just type "consolekmid" and it should run :-) - -6. How do I use a Midi Mapper ? -------------------------------- - A Midi Mapper is the feature you have been waiting for in Linux for years, - (at least I have been :-) it makes a non General Midi synth, appear to the - computer as General Midi compliant. Thus, a GM synth is emulated with a - nonGM. - Look the KMid docs for more info on creating/using a midi map. - If you want to use one with consolekmid, you can use the -M option, - use it like this example : - - consolekmid -M /opt/kde/share/apps/kmid/maps/YamahaPSS790.map mymidifile - - You can also edit main.cc in the player directory and change the value of - DEFAULT_MAP to whatever you want, so that you don't need to specify the - -M option each time you run consolekmid. - - If you want to define a new map for your midi keyboard, I recommend you to - start by copying the file yamaha790.map and modifying it. And remember to - send it to me so that it will be included in future revisions and other - people can use it ! - -7. Where can I download KMid and consoleKMid from ? ---------------------------------------------------- - - KMid's homepage is at : - http://developer.kde.org/~larrosa/kmid.html - - From there you can download latest versions as well as know the latest - changes and improvements of KMid and consoleKMid - -8. To do list ---------------- - GUS support is nearly done (and also SoftOSS) but still need little - improvements. It should mostly work now. - Better AWE support and use Soundfonts - The KMidServer and make KMid use it. - -------- -30-4-2001 -Antonio Larrosa Jimenez -larrosa@kde.org |
