NAME
elektroid-cli - Sample and MIDI device manager (CLI)
SYNOPSIS
elektroid-cli [options] command
DESCRIPTION
elektroid-cli is part of Elektroid, a sample and MIDI device manager. See man elektroid for the GUI application. With Elektroid you can easily upload and download audio files and manage different types of data on different MIDI devices, such as presets, projects or tunings. It can also be used to send and receive SysEx MIDI files.
SUPPORTED DEVICES
• Elektron Model:Samples • Elektron Model:Cycles • Elektron Digitakt I and II • Elektron Digitone and Digitone Keys • Elektron Syntakt • Elektron Analog Rytm MKI and MKII • Elektron Analog Four MKI, MKII and Keys • Elektron Analog Heat MKI, MKII and +FX • All samplers implementing MIDI SDS • Casio CZ-101 • Arturia MicroBrute • Arturia MicroFreak • Eventide ModFactor, PitchFactor, TimeFactor, Space and H9 • Moog Little Phatty and Slim Phatty • Novation Summit and Peak
DEVICE COMMANDS
Device commands operate over the device itself. For the commands that operate over the different types of data a device provides see the filesystem commands section. [ ld | list-devices ] List compatible devices [ df | info-storage ] device_number Show size and use of +Drive and RAM where available info device_number Show device info send file device_number Send MIDI data file to device receive device_number file Receive MIDI data file from device upgrade firmware device_number Upgrade the device
FILESYSTEM COMMANDS
Different filesystem operations are implemented on different connectors so a command has the following form: connector, hyphen ('-'), filesystem name, hyphen ('-'), and the operation itself Provided paths must always be prepended with the device id and a colon (':'), e.g. 0:/samples. Paths pointing to a data, sound or project file use the index of a file instead of its name. These are the available operations. [ ls | list ] device_number:path_to_directory List directory contents mkdir device_number:path_to_directory Create a directory and its parent directories as needed [ rmdir | rm ] device_number:path_to_directory Delete a directory recursively [ ul | upload ] file device_number:path_to_file_or_directory Upload a file. If the path does not exist it will be created. For the sample filesystem, the supported audio file formats are aiff, flac, ogg and wav. [ dl | download ] device_number:path_to_file_or_directory Download a file into the current directory. For the sample filesystem, samples will be stored locally as 16-bit, 48kHz wav files. mv device_number:path_to_file_or_directory device_number:path_to_file_or_directory Move a file. If the destination path does not exist, it will be created. rm device_number:path_to_file Delete a file cl device_number:path_to_file Clear file cp device_number:path_to_file device_number:path_to_file Copy a file sw device_number:path_to_file device_number:path_to_file Swap files
OPTIONS
-v give verbose output. Use it more than once for more verbosity.
EXAMPLES
