This package contains +a patchset for the TiMidity++ MIDI player. A patchset is required for +MIDI files to be audible through TiMidity++. These patches also work +with applications that use SDL_mixer for MIDI audio. + +Note that eawpats contains proprietary sound samples. According to the +ALSA Wiki: + +"Half of the patches in eawpats are derived from original Gravis patches, +and therefore may have some intellectual property issues." + +If this is a concern to you, use freepats instead (however, eawpats does +sound nicer). For more information, see /usr/doc/eawpats-12/copyrigh.txt + +To use eawpats with TiMidity++ and/or SDL_mixer, edit /etc/timidity.cfg +and make it look like this: + source /etc/timidity/eawpats.cfg |
