JACK-SMF-PLAYER(1)					    JACK-SMF-PLAYER(1)

NAME
       jack-smf-player - Standard MIDI File player for JACK MIDI

SYNOPSIS
       jack-smf-player	[ -a input port	] [ -d ] [ -n ]	[ -q ] [ -s ] [	-t ] [
       -V ] [ -r rate ]	[ file name ]

OPTIONS
       -a input	port
	      Automatically connect to the named input port.  Note  that  this
	      may cause	problems with LASH.

       -d     When throttling, drop messages instead of	delaying them.

       -n     Don't start JACK transport at startup.

       -q     Be quiet,	don't print messages about SMF metaevents etc.

       -s     By default, jack-smf-player creates one output port, "midi_out",
	      through  which MIDI messages from	all tracks are sent with their
	      original MIDI channel number unchanged, and then	one  port  per
	      track,  through  which  only  MIDI messages from that particular
	      track are	sent with their	MIDI channel reset  to	0.   That  may
	      cause  problems  with  large  number of tracks, as the number of
	      JACK ports is a  limited	resource.   Passing  the  "-s"	option
	      causes  jack-smf-player  to not create per-channel output	ports.
	      This option does not change behaviour of the "midi_out" port.

       -t     Do not use JACK transport.  That means that  playback  will  not
	      start when the transport starts, will not	seek when transport is
	      relocated	 etc.	Also, this flag	will make jack-smf-player exit
	      after the	end of the song.

       -V     Print version number to standard output and exit.

       -r rate
	      Set output rate limit to rate, in	Kbaud.	Limit defined  by  the
	      MIDI specification is 31.25.  By default this parameter is zero,
	      that is, rate limiting is	disabled.

DESCRIPTION
       jack-smf-player	is  a  tool  to	 play SMF (Standard MIDI Format) files
       through JACK MIDI.  At startup, it will load file which name is	passed
       as  a  parameter,  and,	unless	the  "-n" option is given, rewind JACK
       transport to position zero and start playing.  You can pause, play  and
       seek  using JACK	transport, for example by using	buttons	under the dis-
       play in qjackctl.
