NAME
       aplaymidi - play	Standard MIDI Files

SYNOPSIS
       aplaymidi -p client:port[,...] [-d delay] midifile ...

DESCRIPTION
       aplaymidi  is  a	 command-line  utility	that  plays the	specified MIDI
       file(s) to one or more ALSA sequencer ports.

OPTIONS
       -h, --help
	      Prints a list of options.

       -V, --version
	      Prints the current version.

       -l, --list
	      Prints a list of possible	output ports.

       -p, --port=client:port,...
	      Sets the sequencer port(s) to  which  the	 events	 in  the  MIDI
	      file(s) are sent.

       -u, --ump=version
	      Changes  the sequencer client to the given MIDI version and out-
	      puts via the UMP packets instead of legacy sequencer events.  As
	      of now, the only supported version is 1.

	      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
	      file(s)  that  contain  events  for multiple devices (ports), as
	      specified	by "Port Number" meta events.

	      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.

       -d, --delay=seconds
	      Specifies	how long to wait after the end of each MIDI  file,  to
	      allow the	last notes to die away.

BUGS
       aplaymidi  handles  "Port Number" meta events, but not "Port Name" meta
       events.
