[HLUG] MIDI?????

[Andrew Hodgson]

Hi,

Most modern sound cards rely on a software synthesiser to play the midi
files.  It is highly likely you have one of these (even my expensive
Audigy used these), but there is not one installed under the OS.  I know
there are a few projects for software synths for Linux, but as I don't
play midi files on a daily basis I haven't really bothered.

Andrew.

I have Suse9.1 installed the music(mp3s)Videos seem to work ok but I
tried a
midi file tonight & it wont play.. it looks like its playing it but no
sound
comes out. Do you have to install something else to get midi to play???
I
checked the audio setting to make sure they were set to max on the
mixer.
I know the midi files play cos on my $indows machine they play fine.
The player that was playing the files also found lyrics hidden in the
files
which I found amusing..
If anyone knows if you need something else let me know

Cheers

Dave

P.S im not installing Ubuntu :P
