You are right! I could compile the pre-release TiMidity++-2.12.0-pre1 and indeed, the sound is better. But please have a look at: http://rnvs.informatik.tu-chemnitz.de/TIMIDITY/timidity.html Here you find a MIDI file, the hardware synthesis and the TiMidity synthesis. Ok this is a sensitive example. But make your own attempts: In my opinion there is no similarity between hardware and soft synthesis. The timidity command was: timidity -Ow1l -s 44100 -EFdelay=0 -EFchorus=0 -EFreverb=0 -o <file>.wav <file>.mid Again: I would use the emu10k1 hardware synthesizer if it wouldn't create lot of gaps: http://rnvs.informatik.tu-chemnitz.de/DROP/gap.html -- J.Anders, Chemnitz, GERMANY (ja@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx)
