-If you are looking for a KMid README file, then this is NOT the one you are
-looking for. Please look the online documentation, that is, the html help
-
-I've left this file only for help on the small cousin of KMid, ConsoleKMid.

-1. What is ConsoleKMid ?
-------------------------
- ConsoleKMid is a small program for Unix in console mode, which uses the same
- player engine of KMid. Of course it doesn't have the same friendly
- interface of KMid but it works to play midi files.
-
- If you have the rpm distribution, you will not find the consolekmid program
- unless you have compiled it from the src.rpm distribution
-
-
-2. Requirements of consoleKMid
--------------------------------
-
- A UNIX machine, a soundcard and a /dev/sequencer device well installed.
- If you have a GUS, you need a properly installed driver from the Linux
- Ultrasound Project, AWE cards are also supported, but you will probably
- need to compile consoleKMid in order to get an AWE card to work.
- FM devices are also supported.
- I have only tested KMid in Linux, but I have had sucessful reports getting
- KMid to work on FreeBSD
- If you sucessfully run KMid in other unices, please tell me !
-
- Currently GUS cards make a little sound when using the oss driver, but are
- not supported officially, I'm looking to find people with GUS cards that
- want to help me to provide such support (either programming or testing),
- as I think that if nobody has worried about it it's because there's no
- need for it ;-)
-
-3. Compiling consoleKMid
------------------
- Do a configure from the parent directory, then go to the player directory,
- and do a 'make' . Simple , isn't it ?
-
- By default it will use the external midi device, if you want to use another
- one (fm, awe, or anything else), edit the file main.cc and change the value
- of DEFAULT_DEVICE to the one you want, or specify the -d option as in :
-
- consolekmid -d 1 mymidifile.mid
-
-4. Installing
------------------
- No installing of consoleKMid is actually done, just copy the consoleKMid file
- yourself to where you want (usually /usr/local/bin ). To use the fm device,
- you should specify in fmout.cc the path to where the fm patches are installed
- ( /etc by default)
-
-5. Running
---------------
- Well, it's quite easy, just type "consolekmid" and it should run :-)
-
-6. How do I use a Midi Mapper ?
--------------------------------
- A Midi Mapper is the feature you have been waiting for in Linux for years,
- (at least I have been :-) it makes a non General Midi synth, appear to the
- computer as General Midi compliant. Thus, a GM synth is emulated with a
- nonGM.
- Look the KMid docs for more info on creating/using a midi map.
- If you want to use one with consolekmid, you can use the -M option,
- use it like this example :
-
- consolekmid -M /opt/kde/share/apps/kmid/maps/YamahaPSS790.map mymidifile
-
- You can also edit main.cc in the player directory and change the value of
- DEFAULT_MAP to whatever you want, so that you don't need to specify the
- -M option each time you run consolekmid.
-
- If you want to define a new map for your midi keyboard, I recommend you to
- start by copying the file yamaha790.map and modifying it. And remember to
- send it to me so that it will be included in future revisions and other
- people can use it !
-
-7. Where can I download KMid and consoleKMid from ?
----------------------------------------------------
-
- KMid's homepage is at :
- http://developer.kde.org/~larrosa/kmid.html
-
- From there you can download latest versions as well as know the latest
- changes and improvements of KMid and consoleKMid
-
-8. To do list
----------------
- GUS support is nearly done (and also SoftOSS) but still need little
- improvements. It should mostly work now.
- Better AWE support and use Soundfonts
- The KMidServer and make KMid use it.
