TiMidity++ uses GUS/patch (Glavis Ultrasound) as the voice data to play.
So you must get GUS/patch, and make the configuration file
C:\WINDOWS\TIMIDITY.CFG.  Please check the following sites for many
voice(patch) data:

Eawpat for TiMidity++
=====================
TiMidity doesn't work itself. TiMidity needs GUS/patch set which is set of
sound patch. There are no WAVE information in *.mid file, so TiMidity use
GUS/patch to convert MIDI to WAVE file. Note that this `patch' means one of
the wave sound file in MIDI technical term.

Many GUS/patches are available from the internet. Some people collect these
patches and make a set of the patch for TiMidity. I recommend the patch of
Eric A. Welsh <ewelsh@gpc.ibc.wustl.edu>.
