Ok, running Timidity works perfectly for me. But when I tried to run<BR>
this midi file with Audiacious, what is odd is that it does not allow me<BR>
to run the file with it's default configuration. Granted, I tried to configure<BR>
the Midi Add-in I:<BR>
<BR>
1) Added the Soundfonts (PCLite)<BR>
2) Enabled 14:0 Midi Through: Midi Through Midi Port-0<BR>
3) The default 'ADmidi' backend is ALSA backend 0.8b1, and<BR>
did not work so I selected: FluidSynth Backend 0.8b1<BR>
4) Applied the changes<BR>
<BR>
Then clicked the Right-Arrow (Play) button and it sounded like<BR>
only treble was playing - tinny sound. Missing was the base<BR>
clef. So how do I make sure that the configuration is properly<BR>
setup here?<BR>
<BR>
Thanks!<BR>
Dan<BR>
