Tim Brechbill's Timidity++ Download Site

TiMidity++ is the best FREE CD Quality midi player converter for people without a soundcard. If you don't have a good soundcard you will be amazed by the quality you get with TiMidity++. Listen to a SAMPLE with my default soundfont. Check out the ScreenShots. TiMidity++ is open source software. It uses Soundfont Banks (sf2) and/or Gravis Ultrasound-compatible patch (.pat) files to generate digital audio data from MIDI files. My version is for Windows platforms and I update it about once a month.
(For other platforms: Linux, FreeBSD, HP-UX, SunOS, MacOSX, see the latest experimental version)

Once the "timidity_setup.exe" file is downloaded, you need to find it and run it (double-click). Please accept the default installation directory of C:\ for everything to work properly without any modifications. If you do not accept the default you will need to change the .cfg files with WordPad to point to the proper directories. You can Test Drive the NEW TiMidity++ Soundfont Configurator to help you configure your own soundfonts to use with TiMidity. For any problems, please see the TiMidity++ FAQs, the Installation Help File or visit the TiMidity++ Forum and ask your question.

FREE Soundfonts

	TimGM6mb.sf2 (4MB self-extracting) - This is the Default Soundfont that comes with the Full Version. Good for PCs with limited resources, otherwise I recommend one of the Merlin soundfonts. Download TimGM6mb.exe to the directory with other sf2 files, then double click on it to unpack.
	EAW Patches (22MB) - Patchkit by Eric A. Walsh One of the best set of .pat files around. They are Good quality, but not as good as the Merlin soundfonts, and are large and harder to download, install and setup.
	SaxesTB.sf2 (1.9MB sf2) - Smaller version is included in the default TimGM6mb.sf2. I recorded and Engineered this Sax Section soundfont. Soprano, Alto, Tenor, and Bari sax sound great as a section. Listen to Samples

For a HIGH QUALITY sound, try one of these FREE soundfonts:

	Merlin Vienna Soundfont (16MB packed).
	Merlin GM Pro Soundfont (9MB packed).
	SfPack (96K) is required to unpack the Merlin soundfonts.
