It uses the freepats sound font. Both are in the Ubuntu repositories. http://phorum.sf2midi.com/index.php/topic,65.0.html is another sound font.

For me it just worked with a standard Ubuntu install. What is the problem? http://www.pulseaudio.org/wiki/PerfectSetup may help.

I use timidity with the fluid soundfonts. I had to use equivs to
generate a dummy freepats package, however, since timidity depends on freepats, which is very much incomplete. My freepats-dummy package provides, conflicts and replaces freepats and depends on fluid-soundfont-gm and fluid-soundfont-gs. If interested, I can send you the package which can be installed via gdebi. Live long and prosper, Lorenzo -- Make a change. Make a difference.

But not MIDI in software emulation :-) == Wikipedia == MIDI does not transmit an audio signal or media — it transmits digital data "event messages" such as the pitch and intensity of musical notes to play, control signals for parameters such as volume, vibrato and panning, cues, and clock signals to set the tempo. As an electronic protocol, it is notable for its widespread adoption throughout the industry, and for continuing in use since its introduction in 1983. > Any good sound fonts or program you would recommend? > Many thanks, > Christian regards Sven -- ubuntu-users mailing list ubuntu-users@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-users |
