KMid2 0.2.0
KMid2 0.2.0 for Mandriva Linux 2010.0 & 2009.1
KMid2 is a MIDI and Karaoke player for the KDE4 desktop environment.
KMid was developed more than ten years ago, so it was time for a revamping. KMid2 is a rewrite from scratch, with a new architecture and also some new features.

http://userbase.kde.org/KMid2
Here are some major features implemented in KMid2:
* MIDI and Karaoke files are supported.
* Playback to external hardware MIDI devices.
* Allow to use software synths as well, like Timidity++ and QSynth/FluidSynth.
* Tempo and volume controls.
* Added a pitch (transpose) control.
* Rhythm view (visual metronome).
* Configurable character encoding, font and color for lyrics.
* Playlists (song collections).
* MIDI Mapper, translating General Midi events into other events understood by some synthesizers.
* Channel window, with solo/muting controls and instrument selectors.
* Piano player window, using VMPK artwork and technology.
* Runs in Linux, using the ALSA Sequencer.

Notes for usage
* f you use Timidity++ as a software synthesizer, you may have to install GUS patches or sound fonts. You can find them at freepats
* Fluidsynth is an alternative. It has a helpful gui called QSynth. For soundfonts, try General User GS.
* For more information and options, there is a tutorial available.
Resources
* Some sample .kar and .mid files are installed with the application. Others are available from http://www.mididb.com/ and http://midikaraoke.com/songdir/ . There is a useful search engine at http://www.vanbasco.com/midisearch.html
