Hints
Linux: If your distro does not install a service, you can use timidity in daemon mode: timidity -iAD. Also, FluidSynth is an alternative.
MacOS: You can get General MIDI via DLSMusicDevice within Logic or Garageband. You will need a soundfont containing drum patches in '~/Library/Audio/Sounds/Banks/' and DLSMusicDevice open in Garageband or Logic with this soundfont selected. See the MIDI::RtMidi::FFI::Device docs for more info. Alternatively you can use FluidSynth: fluidsynth -a coreaudio -m coremidi -g 1.0 ~/Music/some-soundfont.sf2. Also, you can use timidity too.
For Windows, this should just work out of the box.
METHODS
