You need to have a soundfont installed in your system (or timidity configured). If you use ubunu there are some packages available like:

• fluid-soundfont-gm
• musescore-general-soundfont-lossless
• timgm6mb-soundfont

To select which soundfont to use, you can find a setup dialog inside the setup: filesystem.

from opencubicplayer.

(or you can change the filetype to OPL, the adplug OPL3 engine has support for MIDI too, pressing ALT-E in the filebrowser lets you edit metadata for a given song)

I found my system has fluid-soundfont-gm & timgm6mb-soundfont installed already.
I'm installing musescore-general-soundfont-lossless.
But where to change this setting ?

from opencubicplayer.

It's working after i installed timidity package.
Although the track visualizer still the same, But i can hear the sound.
I'm trying to change track visualizer now.

from opencubicplayer.

If you want to change soundfont, in the filebrowser, at the bottom you can find setup:. Open it and you should be able to locate timidityconfig.dev

Changes performed will be stored in ~/.ocp/ocp.ini

from opencubicplayer.

Wow, I was thought that setup is just useless information of file chooser.
I wasn't cared about that. If you don't tell me i will probably never click that.

This video link is of an .XM file, played back with the original DOS version

from opencubicplayer.

Working with XM file.
Thanks for the information.

Midi files does not display track information, maybe I am able to make something in the future.

Alt + K brings up keyboard overview, which is context aware

from opencubicplayer.

Never mind. I was thought that video was MIDI.
Maybe i need to change to XM / Mod file in the future.
If you want to support MIDI visualizer not bad.

from opencubicplayer.

A more important question than that is:
XM file seems supports differrent instrument natively.
But with MIDI file almost all of my track is Yamaha Grand.
Is this a problem of file format itself ?
Or problem of player support ?
Or problem of plug-in configuration ?

from opencubicplayer.

The track view (what you adjust with the key t when playing XM/MOD/IT files), is the native view of the music file, and it has the same style as module-tracker software like Schism, pro tracker, Fast Tracker, ...

MIDI files are a list of events on a timeline that in theory can be arbitrary high resolution and any number of events at all given time-slots. MIDI files that are created from sheet-music in an editor can often have resolution that matches a 1/8, 1/16 or 1/32 note in the selected tempo. It is on my TODO list to try to make a track-view for MIDI files, but it is not high up on my list.
