Installation guide
Masanao Izumo <mo@goice.co.jp>
Last updated on Jan.6.1999
==============================================================================
This document describes how to install TiMidity++(version 1.0.0 or later)
for your UNIX-like machine. Methods for Windows and Macintosh are not
described in this document.
Installing process:
1. ./configure
2. edit Makefile and timidity.h (not necessary)
3. make (required:GNU make)
4. make install (required:GNU make)
5. search for various voice data :)
Each processes are explained in following sections.
Note: '%' is the shell prompt.
1. configure
------------
First, execute the following command:
% sh configure --help
Many options of configure will be displayed. Main of these are the
following:
--help
Displays help messages.
--prefix=PREFIX
Specifies the base of installing directory. By default,
PREFIX is "/usr/local/".
Any files are installed in :
PREFIX/bin : executable file
PREFIX/lib : configuration files and patches
PREFIX/man : online manual
Example:
% sh configure --prefix=/opt/gnu
# installs to /opt/gnu/bin, /opt/gnu/lib, /opt/gnu/man
--x-includes=DIR
Specifies include directory of X library.
--x-libraries=DIR X library files are in DIR
Specifies library directory of X library.
--enable-debug
Compiles TiMidity++ with debugging methods/informations.
--disable-dynamic
Disables the feature of dynamic loading interface.
--with-x
You should specify this option if you have X Window environment.
--with-tcl-includes=dir
Specifies include directory of Tcl.
(If you fail to detect it automatically, try to specify this.)
--with-tcl-libs=dir
Specifies library directory of Tcl.
(If you fail to detect it automatically, try to specify this.)
--with-tk-includes=dir
Specifies include directory of Tk.
(If you fail to detect it automatically, try to specify this.)
--with-tk-libs=dir
Specifies library directory of Tk.
(If you fail to detect it automatically, try to specify this.)
--enable-audio
Enables TiMidity++ to play MIDI files.
If this option is omitted, TiMidity++ is only the MIDI-to-WAVE
converter. This option should not be specified if target machine
does not support audio device.
--enable-ncurses
Includes Ncurses interface. If you build this interface as dinamic
link interface, please specify --enable-ncurses=dynamic.
--enable-slang
Includes slang interface. If you build this interface as dinamic
link interface, please specify --enable-slang=dynamic.
--enable-motif
Includes Motif interface. If you build this interface as dinamic
link interface, please specify --enable-motif=dynamic.
If you don't have Motif for the lack of a fund:), lesstif is
the another answer.
--enable-tcltk
Includes Tcl/Tk interface. If you build this interface as dinamic
link interface, please specify --enable-tcltk=dynamic.
--enable-emacs
Includes Emacs interface. If you build this interface as dinamic
link interface, please specify --enable-emacs=dynamic.
If you want use TiMidity++ on Emacs, install this interface
and press M-x timidity.
And you should edit timidity.el and install to appropriate
directory.
--enable-vt100
Includes VT100 interface. If you build this interface as dinamic
link interface, please specify --enable-vt100=dynamic.
This is the full-screen interface using VT100 terminal control
codes.
--enable-xaw
Includes X Athena Widget interface. If you build this interface
as dinamic link interface, please specify --enable-xaw=dynamic.
--enable-xskin
Includes skin interface. This is the small X interface using skins
of WinAmp/x11amp. If you build this interface as dinamic link
interface, please specify --enable-xaw=dynamic.
--enable-gtk
Includes Gtk+ interface. If you build this interface as dinamic link
interface, please specify --enable-gtk=dynamic.
--enable-network
This option allows TiMidity++ to play MIDI file getting via
network. You can specify the location of MIDI files by
http://foo.bar/baz.mid - like format.
--enable-spectrogram
This option allows TiMidity++ to open the sound-spectrogram
window in X.
--enable-wrd
Includes WRD interface(on X). WRD is Japanese local lyric-
contents format.
For example, including all functions:
% sh configure --with-x --enable-audio ¥
--enable-ncurses --enable-slang --enable-motif ¥
--enable-tcltk --enable-emacs --enable-vt100 --enable-xaw ¥
--enable-xskin --enable-gtk ¥
--enable-network --enable-spectrogram --enable-wrd
Some of MIDI file eats too much CPU power. If you choose correct optimizing
method, TiMidity++ can play such MIDI files smoothly. Optimizing options
can specify in configuration:
(for example : super-sparc/gcc)
(csh, tcsh)
% env CFLAGS='-O3 -Wall -mv8 -funroll-all-loops -fomit-frame-pointer -msupersparc -DAUDIO_FILLING_MILSEC=5000' sh configure [configure-options]...
(sh, bash)
% CFLAGS='-O3 -Wall -mv8 -funroll-all-loops -fomit-frame-pointer -msupersparc -DAUDIO_FILLING_MILSEC=5000' sh configure [configure-options]...
2. edits Makefile, timidity.h
------------------------------
If configure failed or compile not complete successfully, edit
Makefile and timidity.h to appropriate value.
3. make
-------
Once finished above setting, type
% make
This make method requires GNU make. Some system has it as gmake.
Note: Some system announces warnings
vendorShellClassRec
vendorShellWidgetClass
in linking XAW. But it makes no matter. Don't worry.
4. install
----------
make install.bin - installs executable files
make install.tk - installs Tcl/Tk interface
make install.el - installs Emacs interface
make install - installs all files
I recommend to check the install directories and files by executing
% make -n ...
5. Search for various voice data
This package contains only Piano and Guitar patch. Please check
the following sites for many voice(patch) data:
http://www.goice.co.jp/timidity/gus/
http://www.i.h.kyoto-u.ac.jp/~shom/timidity/
ftp://ftp.cdrom.com/pub/gus/sound/patches/files/ (GUS site)
If you got funny voice archive, extract it to appropriate directory and
configure *.cfg files with the name and path of these voice dates.
==============================================================================
configuration of timidity.h
==============================================================================
Edit CONFIG_FILE to your convenience. By default,
#define CONFIG_FILE DEFAULT_PATH "/timidity.cfg"
are recommended. DEFAULT_PATH is the same as TIMID_DIR in Makefile.
If you want to place it to another path, specify as the following:
#define CONFIG_FILE "/etc/timidity.cfg"
The next configuration is the file extractor (please ignore in Windows).
By default:
#define DECOMPRESSOR_LIST { ¥
".gz", "gunzip -c %s", ¥
".bz2", "bunzip2 -c %s", ¥
".Z", "zcat %s", ¥
".zip", "unzip -p %s", ¥
".lha", "lha -pq %s", ¥
".lzh", "lha -pq %s", ¥
".shn", "shorten -x %s -", ¥
0 }
TiMidity++ can handle some of archive format directly. But other format
will use this extractor.
Next, configuration of patch file converter(please ignore in Windows).
By default:
#define PATCH_CONVERTERS { ¥
".wav", "wav2pat %s", ¥
0 }
Next, configuration of extensions of GUS/patch file. If specified in
this configuration, the extension can omit in all *.cfg. By default:
#define PATCH_EXT_LIST { ¥
".pat", ¥
".shn", ".pat.shn", ¥
".gz", ".pat.gz", ¥
".bz2", ".pat.bz2", ¥
0 }
Next, configuration of default instrument. By default:
#define DEFAULT_PROGRAM 0
If no Program Change event, this program name are adopted.
Usually 0 is Piano.
Next, configuration of drum channel. By default:
#define DEFAULT_DRUMCHANNELS {10, -1}
Numbers is the list of drum channels, and -1 is the terminator.
For example, if you wish to default drum channel be 10 and 16,
#define DEFAULT_DRUMCHANNELS {10, 16, -1}
This channel can change in command line option.
Next, configuration of presence hack option. This option is enabled
if PRESENCE_HACK is defined. By default:
#define PRESENCE_HACK -1
-1 is means that only enables if -b command line option is specified.
If defined with 0 to 2, the effect is following:
#define PRESENCE_HACK 0 /* mainly heard from right */
#define PRESENCE_HACK 1 /* mainly heard from left */
#define PRESENCE_HACK 2 /* changes voices right and left each 10 second */
And the following define PRESENCE_DECAY is the delay number for making
presence effects. This number can specify in command line option by
following -b? option in millisecond.
Next, type of floating point number. Choose one of these:
typedef double FLOAT_T;
typedef float FLOAT_T;
Many machine which has FPU results faster operations with double
than that with float. But some machine results contrary.
Next, minimum and max range of playing sample rate. By default:
#define MIN_OUTPUT_RATE 4000
#define MAX_OUTPUT_RATE 65000
Next, default value of master volume. By default:
#define DEFAULT_AMPLIFICATION 70
This number is the percentage of max volume. This default value
will be nice in any occasions.
This number can specify in command line option (-A).
Next, default sampling rate. By default:
#define DEFAULT_RATE 32000
If you have much CPU power, CD quality GUS/patch and want to listen
funny sound,
#define DEFAULT_RATE 44100
is good solution.
Next, configuration of max polyphony numbers. By default:
#define DEFAULT_VOICES 32
#define MAX_VOICES 256
DEFAULT_VOICE is the polyphony number in boot-time. This value is
configurable by the command line option (-p) from 0 to MAX_VOICES.
If your machine has much CPU power,
#define DEFAULT_VOICES 64
enables good harmony.
Next, size of internal buffer. By default:
#ifdef __WIN32__
#define AUDIO_BUFFER_BITS 12
#else
#define AUDIO_BUFFER_BITS 11
#endif
I guess this values no need to change.
Next, value of CONTROLS_PER_SECOND. By default:
#define CONTROLS_PER_SECOND 1000
Next, interpolation in re-sampling. By default:
#define LINEAR_INTERPOLATION
This definition cause TiMidity++ to linear interpolation in
re-sampling, and the quality of sound would be nice. But it eats
CPU powers.
I recommends define it if your machine has much power.
Next, configuration of LOOKUP_HACK. By default, this features are
undefined like this:
/* #define LOOKUP_HACK
#define LOOKUP_INTERPOLATION */
This option saves a little CPU power, but sound quality would decrease
noticeably.
If your machine suffers from lack of CPU power, enable it.
Next, configuration of FAST_DECAY. By default:
/* #define FAST_DECAY */
This option makes envelopes twice as fast and saves CPU power.
But since the release time of voices is shorten, the sound
would be poor.
This feature is controllable in command line option.
Next, configuration of FRACTION_BITS. By default:
#define FRACTION_BITS 12
I recommend leave this value.
Next, configuration of adjusting amplitude of GUS/patch. By default:
#define ADJUST_SAMPLE_VOLUMES
This option makes TiMidity to adjust amplitudes of each GUS/patch to
same volume.
Next, configuration of DANGEROUS_RENICE. By default this feature
is disabled:
/* #define DANGEROUS_RENICE -15 */
If you want to increase process priority of TiMidity++ by using
setuid root enable this option. This option is only available in
UNIX.
Once you enabled this option, you should install timidity with the
following procedure:
# chown root /usr/local/bin/timidity
# chmod u+s /usr/local/bin/timidity
Note: You should not set setuid to timidity if DANGEROUS_RENICE isn't
enabled.
Next, configuration of MAX_DIE_TIME. By default:
#define MAX_DIE_TIME 20
If this value is too small, click noise would be come. I recommend
this value leave to this.
Next, configuration of optimizing re-sampling. By default:
#define PRECALC_LOOPS
This option saves some CPU power only in some system.
Next, configuration of use of ldexp(). By default this feature
if disabled:
/* #define USE_LDEXP */
If your machine can multiply floating point number with ldexp() faster
than other method, enable this option.
Next, configuration of size of pre-re-sampling cache. By default:
#define DEFAULT_CACHE_DATA_SIZE (2*1024*1024)
Next, configuration about networks. TiMidity++ can access any files
via networks with URL. This feature are configurable in Makefile.
If you have enabled this feature in Makefile(configure --enable-network),
configure the following macros:
MAIL_DOMAIN
specifies domain name of your name address. If your name address is:
"mo@goice.co.jp" set the macro:
#define MAIL_DOMAIN "@goice.co.jp"
MAIL_NAME
specifies mail name of yours if in Windows. In UNIX, uncomment it.
For example, your name address is "mo@goice.co.jp" set the macro:
#define MAIL_NAME "mo"
This mail addresses are used when TiMidity++ access to anonymous FTP
sites.
Next, configuration of temporary directory. By default, this option
is disabled:
/* #define TMPDIR "/var/tmp" */
In UNIX, if this option is disabled TiMidity++ creates temporary files
in the path specified by the environment variable TMPDIR.
If environment variable TMPDIR also isn't defined, TiMidity++ creates
temporary files in /tmp .
In Windows, TMPDIR variable are ignored. So you should specify the
temporary path with this macro.
Next, configuration of existence of union semun. If your system
has it,
#define HAVE_UNION_SEMUN
or
/* #define HAVE_UNION_SEMUN */
Next, configuration of existence of volatile declaration. If your
compiler supports volatile declaration,
/* #define NO_VOLATILE */
otherwise,
#define NO_VOLATILE
Next, recognizing GS drum part by GS exclusive message.
#define GS_DRUMPART
enables to recognize GS exclusive message to set drum part.
/* #define GS_DRUMPART */
disables this feature.
Next, output text code. If your system is in Japanese environment,
define
#define JAPANESE
or comment out it like
/* #define JAPANESE */
Next, specifies output text code (in Japanese environment).
You should specify appropriate code name to OUTPUT_TEXT_CODE macro.
The following strings are available:
"AUTO" - Auto conversion by `LANG' environment variable (UNIX only)
"ASCII" - Convert unreadable characters to '.'(0x2e)
"NOCNV" - No conversion
"EUC" - EUC
"JIS" - JIS
"SJIS" - shift JIS
In Japanized UNIX system, all of above are available.
In Windows, "ASCII", "NOCNV", "SJIS" are available.
If your environment cannot handle Japanese, specify "ASCII" or "NOCNV"
alternatively.
Next, controllers of MIDI actions. By default:
#define MODULATION_WHEEL_ALLOW
#define PORTAMENTO_ALLOW
#define NRPN_VIBRATO_ALLOW
/* #define REVERB_CONTROL_ALLOW */
/* #define CHORUS_CONTROL_ALLOW */
/* #define GM_CHANNEL_PRESSURE_ALLOW */
/* #define XG_BANK_SELECT_LSB_ALLOW */
/* #define ALWAYS_TRACE_TEXT_META_EVENT */
#define OVERLAP_VOICE_ALLOW
These values are configurable in command line options. So you may leave
these in default value.
MODULATION_WHEEL_ALLOW
Enables modulation wheel by default.
(-Ew:on -EW:off)
PORTAMENTO_ALLOW
Enables portamento by default.
(-Ep:on -EP:off)
NRPN_VIBRATO_ALLOW
Enables NRPN vibration by default.
(-Ev:on -EV:off)
REVERB_CONTROL_ALLOW
Enable reverb control by default. This feature requires too much
CPU power. So this option prevents TiMidity++ from playing in real
time if this option is enabled (in command line / this define).
(-Er:on -ER:off)
CHORUS_CONTROL_ALLOW
Enables chorus control by default. This feature also requires a
mount of CPU power too.
(-Ec:on -EC:off)
GM_CHANNEL_PRESSURE_ALLOW
Enables Channel pressure by default.
(-Es:on -ES:off)
XG_BANK_SELECT_LSB_ALLOW
Enables XG bank select by default.
(-Ex:on -EX:off)
ALWAYS_TRACE_TEXT_META_EVENT
Enables tracing the Text Meta Event by default.
(-Et:on -ET:off)
OVERLAP_VOICE_ALLOW
Enables allowing pronouncing overlapped voice.
(-Eo:on -EO:off)
