  The original version of this program was written by Tuuka Tiovonen
  <tt@cgs.fi> until TiMidity 0.2i (he discontinued development
  because he was too busy with work). Masanao Izumo <mo@goice.co.jp> and
  other people began to hack it, then we officially released the new
  version, which is called TiMidity++.

  TiMidity was originally a converter that converted MIDI files to WAV
  audio files. But now TiMidity++ is not only a converter but also a
  real-time player that can play a MIDI file in real time. TiMidity does
  not requires an external MIDI instrument module to play MIDI file; it can
  perform with software power only.

  TiMidity++ uses GUS/patch (Glavis Ultrasound) as the voice data to play.
  It can also handle SoundFont data for voice data.

*Features of TiMidity++:
  - Plays MIDI files without external MIDI instruments
  - Converts MIDI files to various audio file formats
    (ex. wav, au, etc.)
  - Uses GUS/patch and SoundFont for voice data
  - Displays some information about the music data during playback
  - Various user interfaces are available (ncurses, motif, xaw, etc..)
  - Plays MIDI files over a network
  - Plays MIDI files in archive files
  - Plays not only SMF files but also MOD, RCP/R36/G18/G36
  - Can handle 32 channel data
  - Can handle user interfaces as dynamically linked modules
  - Can display a sound spectrogram
  - Automatically detects the mode of a MIDI file (GM/GS/XG)
  - Automatically detects drum channels (GS/XG)

NOTE that this Amiga port is not developing furthermore, but you can freely
use to sources to compile it. I would also welcome if there's someone who
can do anything to continue with the port.
