Tell me what arguments I am supposed to start it with and I will try running it from the command line before I call kmidi2. When I let kmidi2 start it, I got horrible sound (alsa default, didn't try pulseaudio), kind of like it was coming from deep under the ocean. > Timidity uses the "patches" format of the same default soundfont. > "Patches" means lower quality and less instruments. > Yes, I noticed that patches are huge, so I didn't download any. The default timidity.cfg calls for share/soundfonts/default.sf2, which is a symlink to FluidR3_GM.sf2. I think this is a sound font, not a patch file.
