Set the midi instrument and the tempo to use on exercises that does not override this.
Solfege use this info in some exercises where the user is supposed to sing.
These spin buttons tell Solfege the highest and lowest tone the user can sing.
These values will is only considered advisory by the program. If for example the values are set to c to c' and you have configured the program to ask you to sing small and large decims, you will have to sing tones outside this range.
There are three ways to play sound:
Use this for debugging or when you are porting Solfege. No sounds are played, the midi events are printed to stdout.
If you have the choice between /dev/sequencer
and
/dev/music
(aka /dev/sequencer2
, you should use
/dev/music
because this has more compelte support for
percussion instruments.
If your system don't have /dev/music
, you can create
it with this command as root (linux 2.2 or later):
cd /dev mknod music u 14 8
This can be useful when porting to systems that don't use OSS, or if you have a bad midi synth on your soundcard and want to use timidity.
Check the My sound card is Sound Blaster AWE32, AWE64 or pnp32
check button if you have this kind of sound card. This will give you
real percussion in the rhythm exercise. Code still has to be added for
other sound cards. (It option is only necessary if you use
/dev/sequencer
to play midi sounds.)
