TiMidity
TiMidity++, originally and still frequently informally called TiMidity, is a software synthesizer that can play MIDI files without a hardware synthesizer. It can either render to the sound card in real time, or it can save the result to a file, such as a Pulse-code modulation, PCM WAV, .wav file. TiMidity++ primarily runs under Linux and Unix-like operating systems, but it also runs under Microsoft Windows and AmigaOS. Distributed under the GNU General Public License, GPL-2.0-or-later, TiMidity++ is free software. Features TiMidity++ can read a number of file types and devices, primarily the ordinary ''.mid'' files, but also ''Karaoke#MIDI applications and *.kar files, .kar'' (MIDI with Karaoke lyrics), Recomposer files, and module files. It is one of the few programs that can read MIDI ''.mid'' files using the MIDI Tuning Standard. TiMidity++ also has support for SoundFonts, rendering the synthesized MIDI sounds into their recorded SoundFont equivalents and directing the outpu ...

FluidSynth
FluidSynth, formerly named iiwusynth, is a free open source software synthesizer which converts MIDI note data into an audio signal using SoundFont technology without need for a SoundFont-compatible soundcard. FluidSynth can act as a virtual MIDI device, able to receive MIDI data from any program and transform it into audio on-the-fly. It can also read in Standard MIDI files, SMF (.mid) files directly. On the output side, it can send audio data directly to an audio device for playback, or to a Raw audio format, Raw or WAV, Wave file. It can also convert a SMF file directly to an audio file in faster-than-real-time. The combination of these features gives FluidSynth the following major use cases: * Synthesizing MIDI data from another application directly to the speakers, * Synthesizing MIDI data from another application, recording the output to an audio file, * The MIDI data for either of the above can be received from an application, or a MIDI controller device (e.g keyboard / pads) ...
