SYNOPSIS

       wildmidi  [-behlvwn]  [-c  config-file]  [-d  audiodev]  [-m  volume-level]  [-o wav-file]
       midifile ...

DESCRIPTION

       This is a demonstration program to show the capabilities of libWildMidi.

       midifile is processed by libWildMidi and the resulting audio is output by the player.

       You can have more than one midifile on the command line and wildmidi  will  pass  them  to
       libWildMidi  for processing, one after the other. You can also use wildcards, for example:
       wildmidi *.mid

OPTIONS

       -b | --reverb
              Turns on an 8 point reverb engine that adds depth to the final mix.

       -c config-file | --config config-file
              Uses   the    configuration    file    stated    by    config-file    instead    of
              /etc/wildmidi/wildmidi.cfg

       -d audiodev | --device=audiodev
              Send  the  audio  to  audiodev  instead of the default. ALSA defaults to the system
              "default" while OSS defaults to "/dev/dsp". Other environments do not support  this
              option.

       -e | --enhanced
              Switches  to  a gauss based resampling algorithm which can improve the shape of the
              sound.

       -h | --help
              Displays command line options

       -l | --log_vol
              Some MIDI files have been recorded on hardware that uses  a  volume  curve,  making
              them  sound really badly mixed on other MIDI devices. Use this option to use volume
              curves.

       -m volume-level | --mastervol=volume-level
              Set the overall volume level to volume-level. The minimum is 0 and the  maximum  is
              127, with the default being 100.

       -o wav-file | --wavout=wav-file
              Records the audio in wav format to wav-file.

       -r sndrate | --rate=sndrate
              Set the audio output rate to sndrate. The default rate is 32072.

       -w | --wholetempo
              Round down tempo to whole number

       -n | --roundtempo
              Round tempo to nearest whole number

       -v | --version
              Display version and copyright information

TEST OPTIONS

       These options are not designed for general use. Instead these options are designed to make
       it easier to listen to specific sound samples.

       Note: These options are not displayed by -h | --help

       -k N | --test_bank=N
              Set the test bank to N. Range is 0 to 127.

       -p N | --test_patch=N
              Set the test patch to N. Range is 0 to 127.

       -t | --test_midi
              Plays the built in test midi which plays all 127 notes.

USER INTERFACE

       The player accepts limited user input that allows  some  interaction  while  playing  midi
       files.

       +      Turns the master volume up.

       -      Turns the master volume down.

       e      Turns enhanced resampling on and off.

       l      Turns volume curves on and off.

       r      Turns the final mix reverb on and off.

       n      Play the next midi on the command line.

       p      Pause  the  playback. Note: since the audio is buffered it will stop when the audio
              buffer is empty.

       .      Seek forward 1 second. Note: Clears active midi events  and  will  only  play  midi
              events from after the new position.

       ,      Seek  backwards  1  second. Note: Clears active midi events and will only play midi
              events from after the new position.

       q      Quit wildmidi.
