20 hours agoMIDI files on AROS as well as on other operating systems, can be played either via hardware or via software.
For example, some players, such as my PlayerMidi-GUI, as well as the WildMidi command, play MIDI files using the Timidity software instruments.
In addition, you need drivers to play MIDI files using a hardware tuner.
The same is true on the Amiga; without hardware, some players use the Timidity or GMPlay instruments.
If you’ve installed AROS One, click on the MIDI file icon and you’ll see them play (via a script and the WildMidi player).

21 hours agoI'm no expert in this field, but I suppose you'd need a synthesizer or a sound module, or perhaps a software synthesizer.
As I said, I'm no expert, but on AROS 68k with the Amiga midi.datatypes, for example, MPlayer plays MIDI files because WinUAE includes the appropriate options.

What do you mean "dedicated hardware" ? What audio hardware is required?

22 hours agoAfter a lot of hard work, thanks to I.A., I managed to get the midi.datatype working on AROS 64-Bit v11.
Multiview opens the MIDI file, but there’s no sound because I don’t have dedicated hardware, and I don’t know if there are ways to make it work without dedicated hardware, either on AROS VM or natively.
If anyone would like to test the midi.datatype, just let me know.
If it works, I’ll try to port it to AROS ABIv0 and AROS 68k as well.
