# sf2mid: TinySoundFont-based midi player using soundfont2 banks
## Usage
Recommended soundfont: Patch93's Roland SC55 font.
Example usage: playing a doom midi file
; games/wadfs /sys/games/lib/doom/doom1.wad
createfile SW18_7: file already exists
; games/mus </mnt/wad/d_e1m3 \
| games/sf2mid /lib/midi/sf2/patch93.sc-55.sf2 >/dev/audio
See: [mus(1)](http://man.9front.org/1/mus).
Example usage: using sf2mid for playback in doom(1):
Edit dmus(1):
; cat /bin/dmus
#!/bin/rc
#sf2=sc55.v3.7.sf2
sf2=patch93.sc-55.sf2
if(test -f /lib/midi/sf2/$sf2)
c=(games/sf2mid /lib/midi/sf2/$sf2)
if not if(test -f /tmp/genmidi.*)
c=(games/dmid -i /tmp/genmidi.* '|' games/opl3)
if not
c=(games/midi -c)
if(~ `{file -m $1} audio/mus)
c=(games/mus '<' $1 '|' $c)
if not
c=('<' $1 $c)
eval $c
Current port-specific issues: performance is not great;
doom will hang while sf2mid unscrews itself.
