man pmidi (Commandes) - A midi file player for ALSA.

NAME

pmidi - A midi file player for ALSA.

SYNOPSIS

pmidi [ -pclient:port ] [ -l ] [ -ddelay ] file...

DESCRIPTION

The pmidi command reads in the specified midi files and plays them through the ALSA sequencer. You can specify on the command line which sequencer port that you wish to use. Use the -l option to get a list of possible sequencer ports for your machine.

OPTIONS

-pclient:port
Specify the ALSA port to send the midi file to.
-l
List the possible output ports that could be used.
-ddelay
Delay after song ends. This is used to prevent the last note of a song being chopped off early. The default is two seconds.

Port numbers

You can specify client:port numbers in the ALSA_OUTPUT_PORTS environment variable. You can also supply a comma (or space if quoted correctly) separated list of client:port numbers. This will allow you to play midi files that use more than 16 channels.

Examples

pmidi song.mid song2.mid

pmidi -p "64:0, 64:1" song.mid

ENVIRONMENT
