Re: Playback using Frescobaldi?

[Kira Garvie]

Thank you all for the help! Some of this is above my head - a timidity-daemon sounds like something out of a book... I hope I can figure something out from your answers, I am sorry I am not yet very savvy with these programs!

You can install QSynth/fluidsynth via MacPorts (probably still also via
Homebrew, it’s a matter of taste).

Same as for other systems: Start QSynth before Frescobaldi, and it
usually just works (otherwise check the MIDI preferences and reload the
MIDI ports).

It looks like MidiPipe is still alive. It’s one of the things I miss most from my time on Mac:
