Timidity does also have a way of splitting midi-out.
If you do
"timidity -Qx,y,...", where x and y etc. are the channels you want to
mute. Or, the other way round, you could do "timidity -Q0,-x,-y,...",
which will mute everything except the channels you specify with the
dashes. I've been pretty satisfied with the airfont soundfont, but I
can't remember offhand where I found it.
Just found that same set of switches on the weekend. Almost works :) I
found that timidity strips off any leading silence on each track, so
once again one has to sync things up. I can't see anything in timidity
to fix that???
I finally found the proper incantation to use a soundfont file with
timidity. Simple, and is probably in the docs ... I was trying to do it
from the command line and I could not get it to work. But, just moving
the .sf2 file to the /usr/share/timidity directory and creating a single
line timidity.cfg file with
soundfont "fluid.sf2" order=0
seems to work. I'll grab the airfont file (now that I know that I can
play a .sf2 file life is simpler) and try that as well.
Best,
