BTW, which version of timidity are you using?
the one on SUSE 9.0 is relatively new, taken from timidity's cvs, but
i don't know about other distros. the sound quality (especially
soundfont) is pretty different between the latest tarball and the cvs
version.
You are right! I could compile the pre-release TiMidity++-2.12.0-pre1
and indeed, the sound is better.
But please have a look at:
http://rnvs.informatik.tu-chemnitz.de/TIMIDITY/timidity.html
Here you find a MIDI file, the hardware synthesis and the
TiMidity synthesis. Ok this is a sensitive
example. But make your own attempts: In my opinion
there is no similarity between hardware and soft synthesis.
The timidity command was:
timidity -Ow1l -s 44100 -EFdelay=0 -EFchorus=0 -EFreverb=0 -o <file>.wav
<file>.mid
Again: I would use the emu10k1 hardware synthesizer if it wouldn't
create lot of gaps:
