Timidity works but no sound from Noteedit - Hardy

[lloydkuhnle]

Hello all,

in case you still need help, I was able to make it work on my Ubuntu 8.10 Intrepid Ibex.

1. Launch Timidity++ as server with this command from Terminal:

timidity -iA -B2,8 -Os -EFreverb=0 2>&1 &

2. Open NoteEdit, go to Setting -> Configure -> Sound and select "Timidity port 0 128:0", "Apply" then "OK"

Now pressing the play button it should work.

Rock On!!!

Ok, Thanks for the solution to this.
Now, why do I have to reconfigure the sound every time I open up NoteEdit?
Why doesn't the configure hold forever, until I change it?

Thanks this worked for me but I have puzzles.

When I tried Noteedit without timidity as server I had timidity port 128:0 to 3 showing in Noteedit which didn't work.

With timidity as server I still had timidity port 128:0 to 3 which still didn't work but also port 130:0 to 3 which did

Even more puzzling, my Roland piano, connected via USB, hadn't worked for MIDI playback before but does with timidity as server?!?

(I'm using Jaunty/Kubuntu)

If Timidity plays midi files but nted does not, run

CODE:

timidity -iA -B2,8 -Os -EFreverb=0 2>&1 &

in Terminal.

Open nted. Edit>Preferences>Configure Midi Out>128:0 Timidity

Leave echo midi checked.

This works well, but must be done every time the system is booted. A nice work-around can be found using System>Preferences>Start Up Applications.

Simply click "Add" and insert the above code in the command box. Add an appropriate title, eg, nted midi support, and you're good to go.

works!

In lucid & nted (1.9.16 by Joerg Anders)

1. install timidity (if not yet installed)
2. Open terminal and run: timidity -iA -B2,8 -Os -EFreverb=0 2>&1 &

terminal will display something like: Requested buffer size 2048, fragment size 1024
ALSA pcm 'default' set buffer size 2048, period size 680 bytes
TiMidity starting in ALSA server mode
Opening sequencer port: 131:0 131:1 131:2 131:3

and a flashing cursor

3. go to nted menu: EDIT->Preferences > configure midi out
- i think u can select any of the ports displayed on your terminal. i tried: 131:0 Timidity and 131:1 Timidity, both worked.

now the next step would be to make it work the first time nted is run on the session (ideally not on startup: keeping it lean.)

how do we do that?
