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 re-
	    source.   Passing the "-s" option causes jack-smf-player to not cre-
	    ate 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 parame-
     ter, and, unless the "-n" option is given, rewind JACK transport  to  posi-
     tion  zero  and  start  playing.	You  can pause, play and seek using JACK
     transport, for example by using buttons under the display in qjackctl.
