NAME

       midish — MIDI sequencer and filter

SYNOPSIS

       midish [-bhv]

DESCRIPTION

       Midish  is  a MIDI sequencer/filter implemented as an interactive command-line interpreter (users wanting
       to use midish interactively may consider using the rmidish(1) utility).  Here are some of its features:

       •   Multiple MIDI devices handling
       •   Synchronisation to external MIDI devices
       •   Filtering/routing (controller mapping, keyboard splitting, ...)
       •   Track recording, editing, quatisation
       •   Import and export of standard MIDI files
       •   Tempo and time-signature changes, user configurable metronome
       •   System exclusive messages handling

       The options are as follows:

       -b   Do not process $HOME/.midishrc or /etc/midishrc and stop on the first error on the  standard  input.
            Useful for scripting

       -h   Print usage information.

       -v   Print additionnal info before each line of input, useful to front-ends and for dubugging.

       Once  midish  started,  the interpreter processes the $HOME/.midishrc file (or /etc/midishrc if the later
       dosn't exist) and starts prompting for commands.  For further information  about  the  syntax  of  midish
       refer to the “Midish user's manual”.

       /etc/midishrc    startup script (if $HOME/.midishrc doesn't exist)
