Hmm, it don't work for me with my sblive. I need timidity to play midi files. What do you use without timidity?
I am using kmid right now, but any ALSA compatable MIDI player will do. The only other one that I am aware of is pmidi which is a command line program. You can find it at: http://www.parabola.demon.co.uk/alsa/pmidi.html
Is there a /dev/midi or /dev/sequencer?
No you don't use that. First make sure that snd-synth-emu10k1 is loaded. Then you must load some soundfonts with sfxload. If you are using pmidi (which I think is what you want since you don't use KDE), the first client:port of the SB Live! is 65:0, so you can play a file by using the command: pmidi -p 65:0 <filename> You can see a list of device by using the command pmidi -l If you are using kmid, you can set the client:port in KDE's Control Centre.
Does the ARTS server under KDE do that for you? I thought I read somewhere that ARTS is based on the timidity libraries?
Yes and no, there are two MIDI players in KDE: Kmid and kmidi. Kmid using the native syth on the soundcard while kmidi is actually a KDE port of Timidity++.
I've tried to use Noteedit, and I choose every possible output option in the setup, and would not get any midi out of the soundcard.
Never used Noteedit, so I can't comment. I hope this will help you.
