Package: timidity Version: 2.13.2-6 Severity: wishlist I believe Timidity's sound can be made less hollow by adapting freepats's "crude.cfg" file, which provides substitutes for missing patches using other patches in freepats. I took their file and pasted in the drum section from freepats.cfg; I imagine, however, that the philosophy could be a taken a step further and substitutes be provided for the missing drums, too.
