Software sound renderer (MIDI sequencer, MOD player)

TiMidity++ is a very high quality software-only MIDI sequencer and MOD player. It uses sound fonts (GUS-compatible or SF2-compatible) to render MIDI files, which are not included in this package. 

  * Plays MIDI files without any external MIDI instruments at all
  * Understands SMF, RCP/R36/G18/G36, MFI, RMI (MIDI)
  * Autodetects and supports GM/GS/XG MIDI
  * Understands MOD, XM, S3M, IT, 699, AMF, DSM, FAR, GDM,
    IMF, MED, MTM, STM, STX, ULT, UNI (MOD)
  * Does MOD to MIDI conversion (including playback)
  * Outputs audio into various audio file formats: WAV, au, AIFF,
    Ogg (Vorbis, FLAC, Speex)
  * Supports NAS, eSound, JACK, ALSA and OSS drivers
  * Uses Gravis Ultrasound compatible patch files and SoundFont2 patch
    files as the voice data for MIDI instruments
  * Supports playing from archives (zip, lzh, tar...) and playing remote
    data from the network
  * Timidity++ can be used as an ALSA sequencer device
