timidity

MIDI to PCM software synthesizer

TiMidity is a software synthesizer. It can play MIDI files by converting them into PCM waveform data; give it a MIDI data along with digital instrument data files, then it synthesizes them in real-time, and plays. It can not only play sounds, but also can save the generated waveforms into hard disks as various audio file formats. TiMidity 0.2i was written by Tuukka Toivonen <tt@cgs.fi> in 1995. No new version of this project has been released since then. Development has been continued by Masanao Izumo et al. in the new project named TiMidity++ (audio/timidity++).
