Re: [timidity-talk] Extending Timidity's note range beyond 128 notes?

[Bob v. d. P. <bo...@me...>]

I don't think this is possible. Notes in MIDI are 4 bit values, and that
means a range of 0-127. Only solution I can think of is to split your input
into different channels and have, for example, channel 1 for the low stuff
and 2 for the upper. That was you, can in theory, get 256 notes. All this
depends on the program creating your MIDI.

Timidity is NOT the problem :)

Hope this helps.
