KMid програма є частиною модуля додаткових програм KDE (Extragear), нові версії не обов’язково постачаються разом з новими версіями KDE. Найсвіжішою стабільною версією є 2.4.0, датована 15 серпня 2010 року.

Отже, яким є поточний стан розробки?

У поточній версії реалізовано

Here are some major features implemented in KMid:

  • MIDI and Karaoke files are supported.
  • Playback to external hardware MIDI devices.
  • Allow to use software synths as well, like Timidity++ and QSynth/FluidSynth.
  • Tempo and volume controls.
  • Added a pitch (transpose) control.
  • Rhythm view (visual metronome).
  • Configurable character encoding, font and color for lyrics.
  • Playlists (song collections).
  • MIDI Mapper, translating General Midi events into other events understood by some synthesizers.
  • Channel window, with solo/muting controls and instrument selectors.
  • Piano player window, using VMPK artwork and technology.
  • Konqueror integration.
  • Runs in Linux, Windows and Mac OSX.

What is not yet ready?

  • Multiple MIDI output ports. Currently plays to a single output port.

Notes for usage

  • If you use Timidity++ as a software synthesizer, you may have to install GUS patches or sound fonts. You can find them at freepats
  • Fluidsynth is an alternative. It has a helpful gui called QSynth. For soundfonts, try General User GS.
  • For more information and options, there is a tutorial available.
