Simple Karaoke or getting the best from your Midi Synthesizer!

KMid is part of Extragear, so it does not necessarily ship on the same date as KDE SC. The latest stable release is 2.4.0, published on August 15th, 2010.

So what is the current status?

Реализованная функциональность

В KMid на данный момент реализованы следующие возможности:

  • Воспроизведение при помощи внешних устройств MIDI.
  • Воспроизведение при помощи программных синтезаторов, например Timidity++ и QSynth/FluidSynth.
  • Управление темпом и громкостью.
  • Управление тональностью.
  • Наглядный метроном.
  • Настраиваемая кодировка, шрифт и цвет для текста песни.
  • Списки воспроизведения (коллекции песен).
  • Автоматизированная замена событий MIDI на другие события, поддерживаемые некоторыми синтезаторами.
  • Окно каналов с возможностью приглушения каналов и выбора музыкальных инструментов.
  • Окно с клавиатурой фортепиано. Используется графика и технологии проекта VMPK.
  • Интеграция с Konqueror.

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.
