- MP (midi play) for Linux -- Release 0.2, February, 1993
-
- Mp plays midi files on the fm part of the sound card and/or sends
- midi commands to the card's external midi port. It plays multi-
- track files and either uses the card's drum mode or its own
- set of percussion voices (installed from file drums.sb).
-
- The code for mp is mostly pasted together bits from the CMU CMT
- programs by Roger Dannenberg, from Tim Thompson's Midifiles library,
- and the code for playing fm is taken from "fmplay" by Hannu Savolainen.
-
- Installation:
-
- Check "DESTDIR" in the Makefile, and also the XSELECT and PSELECT
- defines; then "make install". Use "setsb std.sb" to load my set of
- 128 voices for the sound card, if you want to use them, and use
- "setdrums drums.sb" to load the drum voices for the sound card.
- (The two libraries of patches can be edited with Glib.)
