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.

	      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.

	      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.
