EAWpatches

Does anyone know of a working location to get EAWpatches for timidity?  The locations I have been able to find via google seem to have had the package removed.

If anyone knows of a good midi for linux document feel free to suggest it.  I'm still not quite sure how to get timidity used as the default midi device for other applications.

Thanks

Re: EAWpatches

Gentoo has a good documentation for setting up timidity. It is near the bottom of the ALSA documentation page.

http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/alsa-guide.xml

I have yet to get it up and going in Arch, but that should help you with it a bit. I do not think that timidity in the repository comes with the server though, which kind of sucks but it fixable.

Re: EAWpatches

That was the guide I was using but I wasn't exactly sure what the following command did to the init scripts.

rc-update add timidity default

So it kind of stopped me there with that document.

I wasn't aware there was a server portion of timidity.  Do you need to download the source and create your own package to get the server functionality.

Re: EAWpatches

I have never used either gentoo or timidity, but I'm pretty sure that this

means adding timidity to /etc/rc.conf in Arch - something like this

DAEMONS=(!syslogd !klogd !hotplug @network @portmap @fam timidity)

Re: EAWpatches

rc-update simply adds the init to that runlevel, default being 3 smile Can't help with timidity at all though...

Re: EAWpatches

If by eawpatches you mean this:

http://text.mirror.ac.uk/mirror/distro. … ull.tar.gz

then you should also take a look at this thread:

http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php? … t=timidity

I thought eawpatches are already included now in the standard arch package, aren't they ?

I don't know anything about server version of timidity. I was only testing this application for a short time but normally I use hardware midi (sb live) and this is also on a very rare occasions.
