TiMidity is a MIDI player, not a karaoke player. It is designed as a stand-alone application with a particular kind of extensibility. Out of the box it can sort of play karaoke but not well. This chapter looks at how to work with TiMidity to build a karaoke system.
By default it just plays the MIDI music, with the lyrics printed out.
