NAME

       mididings - MIDI router and processor

SYNOPSIS

       mididings [options] "patch"

       mididings [options] -f filename

DESCRIPTION

       mididings is a MIDI router and processor based on Python, supporting ALSA and JACK MIDI.

       Many features are provided:

       MIDI routing and filtering
	      Filter events depending on their event type, channel, note number, velocity, etc., and freely route them between an arbitrary number
	      of input and output ports.

       Modifying and converting MIDI events
	      Transpose notes, apply velocity curves, change controller values and ranges, or convert events to any other MIDI event type.  midid-
	      ings also includes more complex functions like a diatonic harmonizer, floating split points, latched notes, and more.

       Seamless switching between patches
	      Set  up  different "scenes", each with its own MIDI routing and processing, and switch between them at any time, even while playing.
	      Switching scenes does not affect notes already held, and does not result in dropouts or stuck notes!

       MIDI event monitoring, running external commands
	      Print MIDI event data to the console to help debugging your patches and configuring your MIDI controllers. In addition to  its  MIDI
	      output, mididings can also execute shell commands and send OSC or DBUS messages.

       -b BACKEND
	      name of backend to use

       -c CLIENT_NAME
	      ALSA or JACK client name

       -i IN_PORTS
	      number of input ports

       -o OUT_PORTS
