Package midi :: Package sequencer_pygame

Package sequencer_pygame

Interface to the PyGame mixer module, which is able to play fully formed midi files using Timidity. We play midi streams simply by outputing to a temporary midi file and playing that.

The alternative approach explored in sequencer_portmidi is much nicer in principle, but doesn't work.

Notes:

Requires PyGame to be installed
PyGame requires SDL to be installed and configured to play midi files. It uses a nasty old version of Timidity and requires you to have GUS-compatible patches installed.
