Hello,
freepats isn't available ("but is referred to by another application"). What does this mean? Is it maybe in extras devel (cause i have that disabled)?

Yes, it is in extras-devel:

Code:

[user@n900 user]% grep 'Package: freepats' /var/lib/apt/lists/*
grep: /var/lib/apt/lists/lock: Permission denied
/var/lib/apt/lists/repository.maemo.org_extras-devel_dists_fremantle_free_binary-armel_Packages:Package: freepats
[user@n900 user]%

"works for me", I did install wildmidi and freepats separately beforehand though, but that should not matter at all.

Maybe there is some dependency I happen to have installed but was not listed in the instructions since the poster did not know about it (and also happened to have it installed already). ?

Edit: typo fix

Btw, renamed the package to "midi-support" for reasons explained in changelog.

You can also run from the command line like so
$wildmidi Dancing_Queen.mid

works a treat , just need to build a python binding to wildmidi and we are away.:D

also
$wildmidi -h

for additional options

I was playing some Deep Purple's midi and noticed that there's no "rock organ" patch!

Try it: http://www.thehighwaystar.com/rosas/midi/HW_STAR.MID

You can't hear the organ.

Anyone noticing similar problems with other instruments?

Yeah, I think it's missing the xylophone from: darklich.mid

Re: MIDI on n900 through default player!
 
Guys I've got a working patch set, with all instruments:

download http://www.anime.net/~goemon/timidity/goemon.tgz

in x-terminal:

gzip -d goemon.tgz
tar -xvf goemon.tar
mv goemon/goemon.cfg /etc/wildmidi
mv goemon /opt/midi/

edit goemon.cfg and make the "dir" line point to /opt/midi/goemon

to make it default patch set, in /etc/wildmidi:

mv wildmidi.cfg wildmidi.cfg.bkp
mv goemon.cfg wildmidi.cfg

if you wanna try it without making it default:
wildmidi -c /etc/wildmidi/goemon.cfg MIDIFILE.MID

To hear the changes in media player you'll have to restart the n900!

That's it! Hope midi-support package creator put this also, and give me credits, as he haven't yet, even that I came with the first solution... :)

Some instruments from this lib sustains strangelly, so maybe we should try something else... still, these are the steps to install any patch kit GUS/PAT cpmpatible...

Any finds please post here!

Re: MIDI on n900 through default player!
 
got it working with eawpats, just used the timidity.cfg...

if anyone is interested I'll put download links and instructions... now we have all instruments and with some decent quality :)
