Simple Karaoke or getting the best from your Midi Synthesizer!

KMid 2 is in preparation. As part of Extragear it does not necessarily ship on the same date as KDE SC 4.4, but it is on track for a stable release around that time. Meanwhile, preliminary releases have been published.

So what is the current status?

Currently implemented

Here are some major features implemented in KMid2:

  • MIDI and Karaoke files are supported.
  • Playback to external hardware MIDI devices.
  • Allow to use software synths as well, like Timidity++ and QSynth/FluidSynth.
  • Tempo and volume controls.
  • Added a pitch (transpose) control.
  • Rhythm view (visual metronome).
  • Configurable character encoding, font and color for lyrics.
  • Playlists (song collections).
  • MIDI Mapper, translating General Midi events into other events understood by some synthesizers.
  • Channel window, with solo/muting controls and instrument selectors.
  • Piano player window, using VMPK artwork and technology.
  • Runs in Linux, using the ALSA Sequencer.

What is not yet ready?

  • Support for Windows and Mac OSX.
  • Multiple MIDI output ports. Currently plays to a single output port.
  • Konqueror integration.

Notes for usage

  • If you use Timidity++ as a software synthesizer, you may have to install GUS patches or sound fonts. You can find them at freepats
  • In this case you will need to start Timidity++ with
$ timidity -iA
  • There is an init script
$ /etc/init.d/timidity start
(in Debian, the package timidity-daemon)
  • For more information and options, there is a tutorial available.
