Multiplies the master volume by n % Default value is 70%Higher amplification makes louder sounds You can specify the drumpower, ratio of drum volume from the other channels The allowedvalues of amplification range from 0 (no sound) to 800
Optionally to put `a' character along with -a option, or to use--volume-compensation , instructs TiMidity++ toregularize the volume You can easily gain dynamic range
For example: -A90 -A,120 -A90,120 -Aa -A90a -A,120a -A90,120a

Turns on antialiasing Samples are run through a lowpass filterbefore playing, which reduces aliasing noise at low resamplingfrequencies

For the Linux/FreeBSD/OSS/ALSA/Windows sound driver, selects thenumber of buffer fragments in interactive mode Increasing the numberof fragments may reduce choppiness when many processes are runningIt will make TiMidity++ seem to respond sluggishly to fastforward, rewind, and volume controls, and it will throw the statusdisplay off sync Specify a fragments number of 0 to use the maximumnumber of fragments available

Sets the ratio of sampling and control frequencies This determineshow often envelopes are recalculated -- small ratios yield betterquality but use more CPU time

Reads an extra configuration file

Marks channel as a drum channel If channel is negative, channel-n is marked as an instrumental channel If n is0 , all channels are marked as instrumental

Specifies the directory containing installed dynamic-link interfacemodules

Make TiMidity++ evil For the Win32 version, this increases thetask priority by one It can give better playback when you switchtasks at the expense of slowing all other tasks down

Turns on fast panning to accommodate MIDI pieces that expect panningadjustments to affect notes that are already playing Some files thatdon't expect this have a habit of flipping balance rapidly betweenleft and right, which can cause severe popping when the -F flagis used
In the current version of TiMidity++ this option is a toggle

Toggles fast envelopes This option makes TiMidity++ faster butthe release time of the notes are shortened

Open the Sound-Spectrogram window This option is activated if thesystem has support for the X Window System

Specify the number of key signature MIDI file is performed withtransposition to the key of the number of sharp (when n ispositive) or flat (when n is negative) Valid values of n are in the interval from -7 to 7 For example, if n is 1 , MIDI file with any tonality will be performed transposingto 1 flat (ie, F major or D minor) Therefore, it isconvenient to use for the accompaniment when practicing a musicalinstrument by the tonality which is easy to perform

Adjusts key (ie, transposes the song) by n half tones Rangesfrom -24 to 24

Specify audio queue time limit to reduce voices If the remainingaudio buffer is less than msec milliseconds, TiMidity++ tries to kill some voices This feature makes it possible to playcomplicated MIDI files on slow CPUs Setting msec to zero tellsTiMidity++ to never remove any voices

Adds path to the library path Patch, configuration, and MIDIfiles are searched along this path Directories added last will besearched first Note that the current directory is always searchedfirst before the library path

TiMidity++ can play a PCM file instead of a MIDI file If``auto'' is specified, TiMidity++ tries to open foomidwav orfoomidaiff when playing foomid If ``none'' is specified, thisfeature is disabled Otherwise just plays name
