Sound card doesn't support midi. How can I play midi output in real-time?

  • 772

My sound card doesn't support midi, but I want to write music in TuxGuitar and listen to the midi output on the fly. Is there some program I can install to do this?

Right now my workaround is to export the files to .MID, then convert them to .MP3 using this command: 

timidity "$file" -Ow -o - | ffmpeg -hide_banner -loglevel panic -i - -acodec libmp3lame -ab 128k "${file[@]/%.mid/.mp3}"
sound

    With the -iA option, Timidity runs as a daemon to output the data in real time to the sound card.
