I’ve looked some at the new GPLed MIDI code for Linux and (possibly)
*BSD, and most of it seems to deal with the peculiarities of various
specific devices and drivers, rather than actual MIDI playback. Trying to
figure out what to do, if anything.
I have one question for MIDI users on Linux and *BSD:
* Are these "translations" required to get proper GM/GS
support with current MIDI drivers on Linux and *BSD?
(That is, do the drivers for cards with h/w synths
still have major GM/GS incompatibilities?)
…and one for all MIDI users:
* Would mapping to/from GS, MT-32, XG etc, velocity/level
correction and other features that compensate for the
shortcommings of these "standards" be desirably on all
platforms?
