Hello. I am new to the midi world. I started my trial by listening to a piece of music from Bach (Johann_Sebastian_Bach-Christmas_Oratorio_-_Collegium_Vocale_Ghent) and compare to the same piece of music I downloaded somewhere on the Internet, the difference is huge, the music placed by timidity is un-listenable. I can hear the rhythm and no noise but the performance quality is far from the original record.
So I tell myself, this must not be it. Maybe midi is better at performing some recent light music. Maybe I simply didn't get the well-made files. I also read the midi file quality vary from player A to player B, some file "optimized" for Windows media player, for example, may not work very well with a player in Mac OS. So, here is my question: where can I download the music that shows top performance of timidity? I wish to listen to it and get an impression to what extent midi and timidity reaches. I also know timidity can be equipped with different patches. I guess I have eawpatches installed by the package manger as default patches for timidity. Should I try other patches? e.g. I also found shompatches in my package manager (in gentoo linux).
