Linux: MIDI Setup

There is my translated forum message. Of corse it can be extended and improved, but in order just to not forget, i will leave it as is.

For happy owners of sound cards without midi support, there is only one way to get listen midi sound is to install timidity, the software midi emulator.

I want to write about my timidity setup expirience.
$> apt-get install timidity
$> sudo /etc/init.d/timidity start

I saw error, OK, I went to /etc/timidity, and saw that it contains only one line that includes missing file.

I don't remember its name, but just looking on it, helps me to understand that something called freepars is missing. I open synaptic and found that package with exactly same name are exists.
Cool!

Later i saw that even timidity package recomends freeparst to install.

$>apt-get install freepats

One more time:
$> sudo /etc/init.d/timidity start

And one more error.

Once, i don't remember details, but it was realy easy to understood that we need to load some kernel module responsible for midi. But i have to brutforce the what exactly midi module i need to load.

And than, in order to make this module load automatically on start, i wrote it in /etc/modules,

Thats all.
