OK, so what if the library I use to create MIDI files was altered to use a lot more bits for the notes thus extending the range? How difficult then would it be to extend Timidity to read those extra bits? > 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. That certainly helps but not doesn't get me nearly as many notes as I want. My only other idea was to create multiple tuning tables and create wav files loading the appropriate tuning table for each note's register and then stitching all those wav files together. I'm guessing this would be rather resource intensive (plus difficult to program for me). > Timidity is NOT the problem :) Timidity is very powerful, I'm just hoping I can make it a little more powerful!
