Python: midi to audio stream

Question

I need convert/synthesize MIDI data to audio stream PCM data. What would be an easy way to do so?

Answer 1

Take your pick on what you want to do, there is a MIDI section on the page.

Answer 2

I decided to code my own (based on timidity and subprocess). The code can be seen here: https://github.com/albertz/learn-midi/blob/master/decode.py

I downloaded a prebuild binary of Timidty for MacOSX here: http://www.merenbach.com/software/ports/timidity

And I installed the Freepats package from here: http://freepats.zenvoid.org/
