Titolo: Timidity MCD e SBLive

Ho installato Timidity MCD con la SBLive, ma i suoni MIDI sono molto
piu' bassi dei WAV come volume. C'e' qualche workaround per risolvere
il problema ???
Ciaooo

I'm strongly against the Death Penalty!!! It's simply barbaric!!!

 il problema ???
quando lo installai funzionava tutto correttamente:
Warp 4 FP15 + Sblive.

 
Scusa se non rispondo per il tuo problema, ti chiedo invece un aiuto se
possibile.
Io non sono riuscito ad installare Timidity MCD, nonostante abbia
installato Timidity che funziona coma software a se stante.   Hai fatto
qualcosa di particolare per convincere MMOS2?
io quando clicco sul un file Midi non succede proprio niente, ed credo
di aver fatto tutti i passi necessari, li ho letti in una descrizione.
Ciao, grazie

Non e' che non funzioni, ma l'audio dei midi e' sensibilmente piu'
basso di quello dei WAV e dei suoni di sistema.

Strano, a me e' andato liscio. Posto qui una descrizione dei consigli
di Stefanovich in merito alla SBLive che ti potrebbero aiutare:

Installation and Configuration of Software
for the Sound Blaster Live! and 512 Sound Cards
 under the OS/2 Operating System
Copyright Jason R Stefanovich, 2001
        This document covers the steps needed to install and configure
the drivers and software which support the Creative Labs Sound Blaster
Live! and Sound Blaster 512 under the OS/2 operating system.
The method described in this document is designed for a typical 
installation on OS/2 Warp 4 (Merlin)
or later.  It is by no means a comprehensive description of the myriad
ways this software can be installed but aims to provide the user with
a 
simple and quick path to functionality.  Use of the RTMIDI system and 
external MIDI synthesizers is specifically excluded.  As always, 
documentation for each package should be reviewed before installation.
 
        Currently, there are eight separate packages that need to be 
downloaded and installed to fully utilize these cards.  Once these 
packages are installed and correctly configured, the user will have 
access to nearly all the functionality of the card.  Notably, support
for 
sound under DOS sessions is still lacking although John Gow has stated
that he is working on adding this into the Generic Win-OS/2 Audio
Driver.
1.  Download the following packages into a temporary directory:

2.  Make backup copies of the following files:
X:\CONFIG.SYS
X:\MMOS2\MMPM2.INI
X:\OS2\MDOS\WINOS2\SYSTEM.INI
X:\OS2\MDOS\WINOS2\MIDIMAP.CFG
X:\NETSCAPE\PROGRAMS\PLUGINS\NPOS2MID.DLL
X:\MMOS2\GAMEDD.SYS
X:\MMOS2\GAMEVDD.SYS
3.  Reboot the system and enter into the BIOS configuration menu.  If
the 
system BIOS contains a "PnP OS" parameter, set it to "OFF" and reboot
the 
system (terminology may differ depending on BIOS).
4.  Open the X:\Config.sys file in a text editor and REM out all 
references to previous sound card drivers.  Append the line "SET 
TIMIDITYDIR=X:\TIMIDITY" to the end of the file.  Add  ";X:\EMX\BIN"
to 
the PATH and ";X:\EMX\DLL" to the LIBPATH. (skip this step if the emx 
runtime is already installed)
5.  Unzip the EMX runtime archive to X:\EMX. (skip this step if the
emx 
runtime is already installed)
6.  Unzip the MMPack  and run the INSTALL.CMD script from the MMCheck 
directory.  Open the newly created MM Pack folder on the desktop and
run 
the MM Check program.  If any errors are displayed refer to the MM
Check 
Documentation and attempt to resolve the problem.
7.  Go to the X:\MMOS2 directory and open up the MMPM2.INI file with
an 
INI or text editor.
Remove all statements referring to previous sound cards.
8.  Run the MM Check program again.  Repeat steps 5 and 6 until no
errors 
are detected.
9.  Unzip the SBLive driver and run the INSTALL.CMD script.  Select 
"SoundBlaster Live! Wave Audio"
and "1" for the number of devices.  After installation is complete, 
reboot the system
10.  During the reboot process, note the address in the statement " SB
Live! joystick at :" reported
by the SB Live driver.  Save this information for later.
11.  Wave output/input should now be enabled in PM and VIO sessions.
If 
this is not the case, recheck
steps 2 through 9 and ensure that all hardware is properly installed
and 
connected.
12.  Unzip the Timidity MCD archive to X:\TIMIDITY.  Unzip the
Dgguspat 
archive to X:\TIMIDITY\PATCH.
13.   Open the file X:\TIMIDITY\TIMIDITY.CFG with a text editor.
Replace 
the line
"# dir /usr/local/lib/timidity" with "dir /timidiy".  Append the lines
"dir x:\timidity\patch" and
"source default.cfg" to the end of the file.
14.  Copy the file X:\TIMIDITY\NPOS2MID.DLL to 
X:\NETSCAPE\PROGRAMS\PLUGINS,
overwriting the existing file.
15.  Open an OS/2 VIO window and go to the X:\TIMIDITY directory.  Run
"minstall" from the command prompt.  Step through the Multimedia 
Application Install.  After the installation, reboot the system.
16.  Open the Multimedia Setup object and select the new TiMidity tab.
Check the "Default Sequencer device" box.  Go to the second TiMidity
page 
and ensure that the association extentions "MOD" and "MID"
exist.  Close the Multimedia Setup object and reboot the system.
17.  TiMidity should now be the default sequencer for the system.
MIDI 
files can be tested by running the MID files in X:\TIMIDITY\MIDI.  If
the 
files do not play, or do not play correctly, open the Multimedia
Setup object and ensure there are no other devices associated with the
MOD and MID file types.  Check all hardware connections and ensure
that 
steps 11 through 15 have been followed correctly.  Note:  After 
installation of TiMidity, MMCheck will always detect an error on the 
sequencer name in the MMPM2.INI file.
18.   Unzip the Generic Win-OS/2 Audio Driver archive.
19.  From the \BIN subdirectory copy the files GENAUDD.EXE,
VGENAUD.SYS, 
GWDTA.STS, GWACFG.EXE and GWACFG.HLP to the X:\MMOS2 directory.
20.  From the \BIN subdirectory copy the files OS2WAVE.DRV,
OS2MIDI.DRV 
and MIDIMAP.CFG to the X:\OS2\MDOS\WINOS2\SYSTEM directory.
21.  From the .\ and \DOC subdirectorys copy the files README.TXT, 
MANUAL.INF, BETANOTE.INF and BUGREP.TXT to the X:\MMOS2\HELP
directory.  
Some files may have to be renamed.
21.  Open the file X:\OS2\MDOS\WINOS2\SYSTEM.INI with a text editor.  
Find the section labeled "[Drivers]".  If there are lines beginning
with 
"WAVE=" and "MIDI=" comment them out by placing a semicolon in front
of 
them.  Add the lines "WAVE=os2wave.drv" and "MIDI=os2midi.drv".
22.  Open the OS/2 System -> System Setup -> Win-OS/2 Setup notebook.
Click on the "Win-OS/2 settings..." button.  Select "DOS memory
settings" 
and then click Ok.  Select EMS_MEMORY_LIMIT and set the slider to
zero.  
Click on Save and then close the Win-OS/2 Setup.  Reboot the system.
23.  Wave and MIDI should now be available in WIN-OS/2 sessions.  The 
"ta-da" wave file should be heard when opening a WIN-OS/2 session.  If
the sound does not play, check to esure that sounds are turned on in
the 
WIN-OS/2 control panel and ensure steps 18 through 22 have been
followed 
correctly.
24.  Unzip the LBMix archive into a separate temporary directory.
Open 
the file folder object for the directory and double click on the 
LBMIX.WPI object to begin installation, continue with the PIPEMIX.WPI 
object.
25.  Unzip the Joy Driver archive in the X:\MMOS2 directory.
26.  Open the X:\CONFIG.SYS file with a text editor.  Add or update
the 
lines "DEVICE=X:\MMOS2\GAMEDD.SYS /P:ZZZ" and 
"DEVICE=X:\MMOS2\GAMEVDD.SYS".
(where ZZZ is the port address reported previously by the SBLive
driver).  
Reboot the system.
27.  The system should now have full access to sound in all sessions 
except DOS.  Joystick access should be available in all sessions.
Save 
all archives downloaded and all backup files.  Delete all temporary
files 
created durring installation.
28.  Enjoy!!

Caspita, ti ringrazio a prescindere. 
Devo scegliere tra laurearmi in ingegneria acustica-digitale o usare il
pc a casa  <:-)
Dopotutto i miei drivers per la sblive funziano, i generici per winos2
pure (no midi), timidity ce l'ho .....forse sto bene così.
Grazie ancora
Ciao
