What it does
TiMidity++ synthesizes MIDI into PCM audio and can save the result in formats such as WAV, AU, AIFF, or Ogg. It uses instrument patches or SoundFonts for the rendered voices.
Supply MIDI plus Gravis-compatible instrument patches or SoundFonts to synthesize PCM, then select a file output such as WAV, AU, AIFF or Ogg. The chosen instrument data determines the rendered voices; playback and MIDI rendering use the same synthesis approach. The project also lists network MIDI and archive inputs, with several interfaces and platform ports. Its homepage's 2.13-era news is dated 2004, while the official SourceForge files list includes 2.15.0 dated August 2018. The software is GNU GPL; instrument-data licences remain separate.
