NAME

       yoshimi - a software music synthesiser

SYNOPSIS

       yoshimi [-option] [cmd]

DESCRIPTION

       Yoshimi  is a polyphonic multi-part sound synthesiser utilising three distinct 'engines' that can be used
       separately or together. These can also be  stacked  into  'kits',  typically  for  percussion.  It  fully
       supports both JACK and ALSA for MIDI input and audio output.

       Yoshimi  can  be  run  in  a  graphical interface, a command line interface, or with control from both. A
       number of controls can also be accessed via MIDI. The CLI has it's own Readline parser and built-in  help
       system.
