APLAYMIDI2(1) General Commands Manual APLAYMIDI2(1) NAME aplaymidi2 - play MIDI Clip Files SYNOPSIS aplaymidi2 -p client:port[,...] midi2file ... DESCRIPTION aplaymidi2 is a command-line utility that plays the specified MIDI Clip file(s) to one or more ALSA sequencer ports. OPTIONS -h, --help Prints a list of options. -V, --version Prints the current version. -p, --port=client:port,... Sets the sequencer port(s) to which the events in the MIDI Clip file(s) are sent. A client can be specified by its number, its name, or a prefix of its name. A port is specified by its number; for port 0 of a client, the ":0" part of the port specification can be omitted. Multiple ports can be specified to allow playback of MIDI Clip file(s) that contain events for multiple devices (ports) correspond- ing to the multiple UMP Groups. For compatibility with pmidi(1), the port specification is taken from the ALSA_OUTPUT_PORTS environment variable if none is given on the command line. aplaymidi2 supports only basic UMP events: in addition to the stan- dard MIDI1 and MIDI2 CVMs and 7bit SysEx, only the following are supported: DCTPQ, DC, Set Tempo, Start Clip, End Clip. Lyrics and other meta data in Flex Data are printed, too, unless -s option is given. The multiple output ports are useful when the given MIDI Clip file contains the UMP packets for multiple Groups. When the destination port is a UMP MIDI 2.0 port, the single connection should suffice, though, since a MIDI 2.0 port can process the inputs for multiple Groups. For other cases (e.g. connecting to a legacy MIDI port), you would need to specify the destination port per Group. If unde- fined, it's sent to the first destination port as default. -d, --delay=seconds Specifies how long to wait after the end of each MIDI Clip file, to allow the last notes to die away. Default is 2 seconds. -s, --silent Don't show message texts. -a, --passall Pass all UMP packets as is. As default, aplaymidi2 passes only MIDI1 and MIDI2 channel voice messages and process other UMP packets internally. With this op- tion, it passes all UMP packets to the target.
