Midi: missing voices

[bhobjj]

I had this working "slick as a bean" (as we say in New Hampshire).
I could go to my midi directory and do:

for i in *mid; do timidity; done

and..
sit back and listen to my midi tunes.
But now I keep getting "No instrument mapped to tone bank 0, program 22 - this instrument will not be heard"etc, etc :cry: for some of my midi voices.

Thanks

Hi Bob,

I have never used timidity. I'll find some midi files and see what I can come up with. I have it installed here on my system.

Just some thoughts:

Have you tried playing files individually to find the files that don't play?

You might try reinstlling timidity. From what I can find it is pretty well self contained.

You might want to try messing about with different .cfg files for timidity

Look here: http://timidity.s11.xrea.com/files/readme_cfgp.htm

Thanks! Its what I was looking for. I also stumbled across a softsynth How-to here (http://linux-sound.org/quick-toots/4-sequencers_and_softsynths/quick-toot-midisynth_howto.html)
I had it set up once before and had forgotten what I had done.
