TiMidity++ is a software synthesizer. It can play MIDI files by converting
them into PCM waveform data or other various audio file formats.
-The freepats package, also available at SlackBuilds.org, is recommended
-for use with TiMidity++.
+TiMidity++ can also be run as an ALSA sequencer client. To do this, make
+/etc/rc.d/rc.timidity executable and add this line to /etc/rc.d/rc.local:
+
+/etc/rc.d/rc.timidity start
+
+You will need a set of instrument patch files for TiMidity++ to be of any
+use. The freepats and eawpats packages, also available at SlackBuilds.org,
+both provide a set of patch files.
