Uhmm ... you mention ALSA so we may not be on the same level? I was
asking for OSS (Yes I know I'm an old fashioned bastard reluctant to
change a working system.)
But otherwise you are right, I would like to learn how to use timidity++
as a realtime synthesizer module.

Hi Jens:
I assume you want to play TiMidity as a softsynth ? Here's how I set
it up for use with a MIDI sequencer:
timidity -iA -B2,8 -Os -A100 -EFreverb=0 -EFchorus=0
where:
-iA sets up TiMidity as a sound server
-B2,8 buffer settings
-Os output format
-A100 amplitude percentage
-EFreverb sets reverb to 0
-EFchorus sets chorus to 0
The effects settings reduce CPU consumption. Btw, TiMidity will start to
hog the CPU after a while.
It appears as a client in the ALSA patch bay, so I just connect any
available input device to it and I'm wailin'...
Of course, if that isn't what you want to do you can just ignore this
message... :)
Best regards,
