Midi playback in Frescobaldi

[Piotr Komorowski]

Hello,
I think that it would be very useful to have an option to stop midi
playback from inside Frescobaldi. Now, everytime I want to stop the
playback I have to open terminal and kill the process manually. It would
be great to control let say Timidity++ Midi Player (a gui application)
from Frescobaldi itself. Is it possible to embedd one into another? I
know that Frescobaldi is not a sequencer, but it's very helpful to hear
what I have notated to find errors. It's just an idea.
All the best,
Piotr

Try using a MIDI player with a Gui such as timidity -ig (launches a GTK
gui) or kmid (a brand new KDE midi player).

KMid recently got a KPart interface, and an upcoming release of
Frescobaldi will be able to embed KMid to play MIDI files.

As of SVN rev.2151 Frescobaldi has a built-in MIDI player based on the
kmid_part interface of KMid. It'll be in 1.1.6. Please test it with
KMid 2.4.0 or higher.

Thank you very much,
I will test it as soon as I can get KMid 2.4.0 on my Fedora 12 (now, I
have KMid 2.3.0).
Best regards,
Piotr

Hi, Does KMid have JACK support? Especially when composing, JACK support
could be important. Via JACK you can connect stuff with Qsynth or
LinuxSampler for example.

KMid plays MIDI on Linux via the ALSA sequencer interface. It can play to a
softsynth like fluidsynth or timidity, which in turn can play audio to Jack.

Launch KMid to configure it, then the embedded player in Frescobaldi will use
the same settings.
