What is the state of the licenses for the sound fonts currently available? Can we be sure that there is at least one modern SoundFont file available, with sound of good quality? no discernible latency) performance when used with JACK, and I have used it to play instruments live.- PrashantVaibhav For example, FluidSynth can achieve near-realtime (ie. Simply using a better/different soft-synth can solve the problem. Timidity has a lot of latency, although I believe buffer size can be set to custom values to help reduce the latency. Problem is with Timidity, and in fact is not a 'problem' per se.

The only totally new piece of software is the Control Panel. The Firefox and Nautilus players should integrated seamlessly with both systems. Most of the work is a matter of integration and using existing features.

Development of a new 'ubuntu-midi-support' package to install all required packages ĭevelopment of a new package with free SoundFonts.Development of a official MIDI player (or plugin) for Nautilus ĭevelopment of a "control-panel" style applet to allow installation/removal of SoundFonts.Development of a official MIDI player (or plugin) for Firefox.Playback of MIDI Karaoke files (a popular activity in some countries).MIDI playback while browsing the Web (using Firefox), or in the local file system (using Nautilus).Lack of tools to configure soundfonts, for tasks such as: adding a new soundfont, deleting a soundfont, remapping a sound font, etc.Timing problems (audio playback in Timidity is a noticeable lagging with the UI).Incomplete support for the GM (General Midi) standard.Lack of support for automated playback of MIDI files on the file system.There are many problems right now, including: Ubuntu (as of 2005/11) comes with freepats, which is a based on the older GUS format for instrument sounds. To a great extent, the quality of the playback is dictated by the underlying sound fonts supported by the synth.

Both the MOD and MIDI format offer the potential for high quality playback. Soft Synths such as Timidity++ offer great power while working with simple and small music files. Basically no latency issues on most modern computers. Fluid can work as a standard alsa midi input port, and outputs to alsa pcm sinks in real time. Can also use FluidSynth, which is way better than Timidity++, as a software synthesizer.

MIDI system messages are sent to all MIDI output devices listed in a channel map.Better integration of Timidity++ as a official soft synth package in Ubuntu, including "control panel"-style settings for soundfonts (with options to add/remove soundfonts or individual instruments) better playback performance visual editing of patch mapping etc. There is no channel associated with MIDI system messages, so they cannot be mapped. MIDI system messages are MIDI messages (with status bytes) from 0xF0 to 0xFF. A MIDI output device can be an internal synthesizer or a physical MIDI output port. The destination output device is set to one of the available MIDI output devices. Messages sent to inactive source channels are ignored, so an inactive channel is in effect muted or turned off. Source channels are set to either active or inactive. The low-order of a MIDI status byte specifies the channel number. In this example, the MIDI status byte 0x93 is mapped to 0x95. For example, if the destination channel entry for MIDI channel 4 is set to 6, all MIDI messages sent to channel 4 will be mapped to channel 6, as shown in the following illustration. MIDI messages are modified to reflect each new channel assignment. The destination channel is set to one of the 16 MIDI channels. An optional patch map specifying other possible modifications for the MIDI message.A destination output device for the MIDI message.A destination channel for the MIDI message.Each channel-map entry specifies the following: The MIDI Mapper uses a single channel map with an entry for each of the 16 MIDI channels. MIDI channel messages include note-on, note-off, polyphonic-key-aftertouch, control-change, program-change, channel-aftertouch, and pitch-bend-change messages. The channel map affects all MIDI channel messages.
