NAME

       midish — MIDI sequencer and filter

SYNOPSIS

       midish [-bhv]

DESCRIPTION

       Midish is a MIDI sequencer/filter implemented as an interactive command-line interpreter.  It supports:

             •   Multiple MIDI devices handling
             •   Synchronisation to external MIDI devices
             •   Filtering/routing (controller mapping, keyboard splitting, ...)
             •   Track recording, editing, quantisation
             •   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 additional info before each line of input, useful to front-ends and for debugging.

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

FILES

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