WildMIDI Open Source Midi Synthesizer

A project by Chris Ison

What is WildMIDI?

WildMIDI is a software midi synthesizer that uses Gravis Ultrasound patch files to render midi files into audio.

Who developed WildMIDI?

Little ol me. There is no team slaving away at the code till they can't feel their fingers. WildMIDI is a work of love but many have helped to develope concepts and ideas contained within WildMIDI. For example Quakeforge assisted in working out the details of the library. Eric E Welsh developed several resamplers to experiment with, one of which still remains in the library. Many many people have tested the development version.

Is this related to Timidity or some other project?

No, WildMIDI was written from scratch by me with input from the team at Quakeforge and the assistance of Eric E Welsh. To my knowledge there is no shared code between the 2 projects but we may have has simular ideas or influences.

Can I use WildMIDI in my projects?

Yes, providing you follow the General Public License. Please remember that the code for 0.2.2 was released with GPL and LGPL version 2, 0.2.3 is being developed under GPL version 3 only.

Why change the license?

I feel that the GPL3 is better suited to WildMIDI than the LGPLv2.
