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.
