NAME
midid - Raw Midi interpreter
SYNOPSIS
midid [OPTIONS] [input_file]
DESCRIPTION
This manual page documents briefly the midid command.
midid reads STDIN or input_file and interprets it as raw MIDI data according to the General Midi
standard.
The General Midi data is sent to a sound device (default), a .MID file, or to timidity(1) if you specify
it.
midid includes a standalone mode for timidity(1): midid will then attempt to start and configure
timidity(1) itself for you.
OPTIONS
Standard options
-o seconds--timeout=seconds
Turns output off after seconds of inactivity. (default: 0 - no timeout)
-r,--resident
Stays resident ; doesn't stop at the end of file. It works only if input_file isn't STDIN.
-g,--emulate-gm
Selects GM mode (default).
-m,--emulate-mt
Selects MT32 mode.
-d device,--device=device
Comma-separated list of devices to use for output.
-l,--list-devices
Lists devices.
-h Displays a help message.
Options for .MID file output device
-f,--file filename
Sets the .MID output filename. Default: midid.mid.
-t bpm,--tempo=bpm
Sets the tempo (beats/minute). Default: 120.
-q tickrate,--tick-rate=tickrate
Sets the number of ticks/quarter note. Default: 144.
Options for timidity(1) client
-s server,--server-name=server,
Sets the timidity(1) server host name. Default: localhost.
-p port,--port=port
Sets the timidity(1) server control port. Default: 0. Specifying 0 enables the standalone mode:
midid will attempt to start and configure timidity(1) itself.
Options for using standalone mode with timidity(1)
-B path,--timidity-bin=path
Sets the timidity binary path.
-A args,--timidity-args=args
Specifies some extra arguments to pass to timidity(1) . Default:
-EFreverb=0 -EFchorus=0 -EFresamp=1 -EFvlpf=0 -EFns=0.
-M,--timidity-mono
Tells timidity(1) to produce mono sound instead of stereo.
-L,--timidity-low
Tells timidity(1) to produce the low-q 8bit sound instead of the 16bit.
-U,--timidity-uns
Tells timidity(1) to produce the unsigned samples instead of the signed ones.
-F rate,--timidity-freq=rate
Sets the sampling rate for timidity(1).
-C,--timidity-capture
Enables the capturing mode: the data produced by timidity(1) gets captured by midid and forwarded
to stdout. You won't hear any sound in that mode.
