How do I configure TiMidity to use Jeux Organ Soundfont (Jeux14.sf2)?
I did some experimenting with the Jeux14.sf2 and TiMidity. Here is what I found out. Jeux14.sf2 has 128 instruments (0-127) on bank 0, which you are supposed to map to bank 42, and 76 instrument (0-75) on bank 1, which you are supposed to map to bank 43. In TiMidity, there is no simple way to map everything in one bank to another. You would have to define each instrument, 0-127 for bank 42 and then 0-75 again for bank 43. A simple .cfg solution follows: dir c:\timidity dir c:\timidity\sndfont soundfont “Jeux14.sf2” This loads the Jeux14.sf2 and uses it regardless of what bank the midi has in it. The only drawback is that the Jeux14.sf2 also has instruments 0-75 defined on bank 1 that you are supposed to map to bank 43. If the midi used bank 43, you would not hear the correct instruments. If you are set on getting it done correctly, here is what the .cfg would have to look like. You need to fill in all of the remaining instruments in the …… section: dir c:\timidity\sndfont\timidity
