The 2 files are /etc/timidity/timidity.cfg and /etc/default/timidity Evidently the wiki is referring to the second whereas I took it to be the first. Now when I edit it as suggested there is no syntax error but it does not work The session is as shown $ sudo /etc/init.d/timidity force-reload * Stopping TiMidity++ ALSA midi emulation... [ OK ] * Starting TiMidity++ ALSA midi emulation... [ OK ] $ No protocol specified XOpenDisplay() failed $ timidity file.mid Playing file.mid MIDI file: file.mid Format: 1 Tracks: 4 Divisions: 9 No instrument mapped to tone bank 0, program 52 - this instrument will not be heard No pre-resampling cache hit
