Description:

KMid2 is a MIDI/Karaoke player for KDE4.

KMid was developed more than ten years ago, so it was time for a revamping. KMid2 is a rewrite from scratch, with a new architecture and also some new features.

Some major features:
* Plays MIDI and Karaoke files.
* Playback to external hardware MIDI devices.
* Allows to use software synths as well.
* Tempo and volume controls.
* Pitch (transpose) control.
* Rhythm view (visual metronome).
* Configurable character encoding, font and color for lyrics.
* Playlists (song collections).
* MIDI Mapper.
* Channels window, with solo/muting controls and instrument selectors.
* Piano player window, using VMPK artwork and technology.
* Runs in Linux, using the ALSA Sequencer.

Ubuntu packages are available at OBS:
http://software.opensuse.org/search?baseproject=Ubuntu:9.04&q=kmid2
http://software.opensuse.org/search?baseproject=Ubuntu:9.10&q=kmid2




Changelog:

2010-02-08 0.2.1
* Automatic detection of text encodings for lyrics
* Get channel labels from SMF metadata (track names)
* Pianola window: added labels showing the channel names
* Check the runtime ALSA driver version for advanced MIDI ports
* Patch from Kevin Kofler adding a "pulseaudio" option for TiMidity++
* Fixed a memory leak
* Fixed command line play lists handling
* Fixed settings dialog: soft-synth audio output combos and apply button

2010-01-27 0.2.0
* External soft-synths can be automatically launched at startup. A new page including FluidSynth and TiMidity++ settings has been added to the "Configure kmid2" dialog.
* Each channel may be labeled in a text field besides each channel number.
* New "lock instrument" button in the channels window to override the song's predefined instruments.
* Settings per song can be saved and automatically retrieved, including text encoding, volume, pitch, rhythm, channel labels and fixed instruments.
* The sample songs location is added to the places navigation panel in the open dialog.
* Several other usability enhancements. Many thanks to the KDE Usability Team for the suggestions.

2009-12-30 0.1.1

Thanks. A user was "complaining" about this missing from KDE 4 to us.

So thus, this is now media-sound/kmid-0.1.0 in Gentoo's Portage.

This error message means that KMid2's ALSA backend (kmid_alsa.so) was not found at runtime, or does not work. Probably it was not built because the ALSA library development files weren't installed before compiling. In Debian, the required package is libasound2-dev.

The configuration looks OK, but you should confirm the contents of the $KDEDIRS environment variable, with:


$ echo $KDEDIRS


If it is not set (empty), you can do this:


$ export KDEDIRS=`kde4-config --prefix`


and run cmake again. Finally, run make & make install. After installing, run kmid2 from the terminal, and look for more error messages.

Thanks for your screenshot. I suspect that the problem may be related to TiMidity, so perhaps you could try FluidSynth/QSynth, and maybe you can test the synth with other programs, for instance "aplaymidi", that is included in alsa-utils.

The synthesizer should be started before kmid2 or any other player.

 Inclusion in KDE 4.4?

Will this be included in the upcoming KDE 4.4 release?

KMid belongs to Extragear, so it is not bundled in KDE SC. Also, it does not depend on the latest KDE libraries. You can compile and use KMid2 with any KDE version >= 4.2

This KMid2 incarnation is very young, so very few distros include the program in the official repositories. You can help asking to your distro packagers to distribute the program.

Regards,
Pedro
