Hi, this is Piotr from Poland (Warsaw) - nice to meet you :)
I have Ubuntu 8.04 with Timidity++ installed by command "sudo apt-get install timidity". It works fine, using FreePats, but I need to use Contrabass (Double bass) which is missing, as I read in http://freepats.opensrc.org/freepats/README " [...] MISSING PATCHES [...] Tone Bank 000: [...] 043_Contrabass.pat"... I'm trying to add double bass to my instruments samples but with no success... After some hours of Googling and many tests I understood something but not everything: 1). I understood that I have to make changes in my "/etc/timidity/timidity.cfg" Probably I have to hash this line: source /etc/timidity/freepats.cfg And add another line to use "sf2" or "imis" - but have no idea how to do it :( 2). I found the place where my instruments are kept - /usr/share/midi/freepats/Tone_000/ ... but unfortunately "043_Contrabass.pat" is missing ... Is there a possibility to get a working ready Contrabass.pat from someone of You? :) This would be the simpliest solution for me, but after reading a lot in Your web site, I can't understand how to "produce" this file myself... so I ask this file from You :) 3). How could I use "sf2" http://freepats.opensrc.org/sf2/ I'm trying to guess that file http://freepats.opensrc.org/sf2/acbass.sf2 could be maybe "acoustic bass - sf2" - but I have no success trying to use it... I tried hashing "source /etc/timidity/freepats.cfg" in my timidity.cfg and I added this line: "soundfont /etc/timidity/acbass.sf2 order=0", after downloading "acbass.sf2" to /etc/timidity/, but it didn't work either... 4). How could I use "imis"? http://freepats.opensrc.org/samples/imis/ >From what I see there's a subfolder called "DoubleBass" :) :) :) Where do I have to place the main directory with their subdirectories and "*.flac" files? How to modify the fimidity.conf file and what other I need to do? Generally, for me the best solution would be to leave FreePats and add the 043_Contrabass.pat which is missing, but I'm ready to use also "sf2" or "imis" - with Your valuable help :) :) :) Thank You in advance.
