TiMidity must be running before you start Kmid for this to show.
Start it with the Command:
timidity -iA -B8,2 -Os
The last option is not a zero, it is a capital O. Make sure the little
bouncing startup icon goes away before you start kmid.
On both my systems, 10.1 and 10.3, from the GUI I click Settings, which
gives a drop down list. I choose MIDI Setup... which gives a dialog box
with the list:
Select MIDI device you want to use:
Midi Through Midi Through Port-0 - ALSA device
TiMidity TiMidity Port-0 - ALSA device
TiMidity TiMidity Port-1- ALSA device
TiMidity TiMidity Port-2- ALSA device
TiMidity TiMidity Port-3 - ALSA device
Highlight the first timidity option and click OK. If kmid doesn't play,
try again using the next timidity port, until you have found the one
that works.
If you are trying to do this from a command line, or if you don't see a
list similar to the one above, I'm afraid I can't help much more. It
took me about 3 months, a couple of years ago, to gather this much info.
Most of my other command line knowledge is for running lillypond, and
some video work.
Best of luck, and if it doesn't work, may we find better help;
-ED-
