NAME

       arecordmidi - record Standard MIDI Files

SYNOPSIS

       arecordmidi -p client:port[,...] [options] midifile

DESCRIPTION

       arecordmidi is a command-line utility that records a Standard MIDI File from one or more ALSA sequencer ports.

       To stop recording, press Ctrl+C.

OPTIONS

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

       -V,--version
	      Prints the current version.

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

       -p,--port=client:port,...
	      Sets the sequencer port(s) from which events are recorded.

	      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.

       -b,--bpm=beats
	      Sets the musical tempo of the MIDI file, in beats per minute.  The default value is 120 BPM.

       -f,--fps=frames
	      Sets the SMPTE resolution, in frames per second.	Possible values are 24, 25, 29.97 (for 30 drop-frame), and 30.

       -t,--ticks=ticks
	      Sets the resolution of timestamps (ticks) in the MIDI file, in ticks per beat (when using musical tempo) or ticks  per  frame  (when
	      using SMPTE timing).  The default value is 384 ticks/beat or 40 ticks/frame, respectively.

       -s,--split-channels
	      Specifies that the data for each MIDI channel should be written to a separate track in the MIDI file.  This will result in a "format
	      1" file.	Otherwise, when there is only one track, arecordmidi will generate a "format 0" file.

       -m,--metronome=client:port
	      Plays a metronome signal on the specified sequencer port.

	      Metronome sounds are played on channel 10, MIDI notes 33 & 34 (GM2/GS/XG metronome standard notes), with velocity 100  and  duration
	      1.

       -i,--timesig=numerator:denominator
	      Sets the time signature for the MIDI file and metronome.

	      The  time  signature  is specified as usual with two numbers, representing the numerator and denominator of the time signature as it
	      would be notated. The denominator must be a power of two. Both numbers should be separated by a colon. The time signature is 4:4	by
	      default.

NAME

       aseqnet - ALSA sequencer connectors over network

SYNOPSIS

       aseqnet [remotehost]

DESCRIPTION

       aseqnet	is an ALSA sequencer client which sends and receives event packets over network.  Suppose two hosts connected by network, hostA as
       a server and hostB as a client.	The ALSA sequencer system must be running on both hosts.  For creating the server port, run the  following
       on hostA:

	   hostA% aseqnet
	   sequencer opened: 128:0

       Then a user client 128 with port 0 was opened on hostA.	(The client number may vary.)  For creating the (network-)client port, run aseqnet
       with the hostname of the server:

	   hostB% aseqnet hostA
	   sequencer opened: 132:0

       Now all events sent to hostA:128:0 are transferred to hostB:132:0, and vice versa.

       The ports created by aseqnet can be connected arbitrary to other sequencer ports via aconnect(1).  For example, to connect hostB:132:0 to a
       MIDI output device 65:0:

	   hostB% aconnect 132:0 65:0

       Then events to hostA:128:0 will be delivered to hostB:65:0.  The following command plays MIDI on hostB.

	   hostA% pmidi -p 128:0 foo.mid

       The  multiple  clients  may  exist simultaneously.  If hostC is connected as a client to hostA, events from from hostA are sent to all con-
       nected network clients, i.e. hostB and hostC.  However, only one connection is allowed from a client to a server.

       To disconnect network, stop all clients before server by ctrl-C or sending signal to them.  The server will automatically quit.

OPTIONS

       -p port
	      Specify the TCP port number or TCP service name.

       -s addr
	      Subscribe to the given address for read automatically.

       -d addr
	      Subscribe to the given address for write automatically.

       -v     Verbose mode.
