From version 1.1, trace canvas is realized and renewed overall in

'timidity -iat' when you execute TiMidity(see timidity man page).
You can see a funny movements of volume, expression, panning,
pitchbending, reverb, chorus and voices et cetera of each channel on the
trace canvas. Click left mouse button on the trace screen and you can
toggle trace screen between 'pitchbend and instrument' or 'tonebank,
reverb and chorus'.
* INSTALLATION
TiMidity++ uses Xaw3d by default while compiling when it exists on your
system because GNU configure is employed. If you feel like to use Xaw,
edit common.makefile manually to delete all of '-DXAW3D' definitions
from CPPFLAGS and/or CFLAGS and correct -lXaw3d to -lXaw after
configure.
If you want to use Label Widget as before, make the following line
enable at interface/xaw.h to remove /* */.
#define WIDGET_IS_LABEL_WIDGET
And make clean before build. If you are using X servers compiled
without X_LOCALE on the system that doesn't support locale, rewrite
the folloing line;
#define I18N
to '#undef I18N' before compiling TiMidity++.
Although $(HOME)/.xtimidity will be regarded as an initial personal
configuration file, you can rename it by correcting the line;
#define INITIAL_CONFIG ".xtimidity"
in xaw.h manually.
!!! NOTE !!!
Some resource files were attached to TiMidity++1.3.6 or later.
If you create a resource file of another locale except English or
Japanese, please mail it to Yoshishige Arai <ryo2@on.rim.or.jp> or
to Masanao Izumo <mo@goice.co.jp>.
After building TiMidity++, put TiMidity.ad into the resources directory
such as;
$(X11R6)/lib/X11/app-defaults
And put TiMidity-uj.ad, which is the Japanese-EUC resource file into;
$(X11R6)/lib/X11/$(LANG)/app-defaults
For example, those are as follows if the Japanese-EUC locale of your
system is ja_JP.EUC as FreeBSD;
# cp TiMidity.ad /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/app-defaults/TiMidity
# cp TiMidity-uj.ad /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/app-defaults/ja_JP.EUC/TiMidity

Application class name is 'TiMidity', so specity resources in
.Xdefaults or .Xresources in your home directory as follows for example;
