Re: MIDI on n900 through default player!
 

Well that's great news.
I am interested so if you could post links and instructions .... :o
Thanks.

Re: MIDI on n900 through default player!
 

Well,

the instructions are basically what I've posted before:

you'll have to download the pats files, save it anywhere you want, open the .cfg file and point the "dir" directive to the point you've saved it.

to use it with wildmidi:

wildmidi -c /path/to/cfgFile.cfg <midi>

to make it definitive (for playin' in media player, for example)
cd /etc/wildmidi/
mv wildmidi.cfg wildmidi.cfg.bkp
cp /path/to/cfgFile.cfg wildmidi.cfg

restart device.

As long as I remember, that's it.
If you have any problems, please let me know.

(note: it works with any pats pack, for exemplo: eawpats, goemon...)

Re: MIDI on n900 through default player!
 

Thank you for your instructions.

As to the version of eawpats to use is this v12 ok

http://distfiles.gentoo.org/distfile...12_full.tar.gz

or did you use another one ?

You forgot a step: apt-get update ensures that all information on available packages and dependencies is up to date.

Re: MIDI on n900 through default player!
 

if you write good enough step-by-step instructions I can update the (trivially simple) package I made, make sure to specify all requirements (like for example extra decoders support if it's required).

Re: MIDI on n900 through default player!
 

For those who still get the "unsupported codec" message after installing midi-support, try installing the extra decoders support package afterwards. It should then work.

I noticed the extra decoders package clears some kind of cache at the end of the install. This step may be the magic that gets media player to play midi.

I hope this bit helps.

Re: MIDI on n900 through default player!
 

I have to say, it works great!
The sound font isn't the best, but the fact that it works out of the box... I'm impressed!

(Trying to get MIDI on a Linux desktop on the other hand...)

Re: MIDI on n900 through default player!
 

Perhaps this is the wrong place, and if so, I´m happy to start a new thread.

I am looking for a way to play some online midi tutorials from a site called wholenote, found here

http://www.wholenote.com/

I select lesson followed by the classical section (but any choice should do), select one of the lessons after which the tab appears as well as the playbutton but no sound. If anyone has any pointers, that would be greatly appreciated.
