NAME

     smfplay -- play a standard MIDI file

SYNOPSIS

     smfplay [-mxy] [-g measure] [-d devname] [-i devname] midifile

DESCRIPTION

     The smfplay utility plays a MIDI file. While playing, it can route events from one midi(4) device to another. To stop performance, send an
     interrupt signal to smfplay (for instance by pressing control ^C on the terminal).  The options are as follows:

     -m 	  Use metronome. The metronome will follow tempo changes and time signature changes in the midi file.

     -x 	  Synchronise to an external midi(4) device. If the -i flag is used then playback will be synchronised to the input device else it
		  will be synchronised to the default device.

     -y 	  Send midi timing information to the default device. Useful if the output device is a slave MIDI sequencer.

     -g measure   Start playback at the given measure number.

     -d filename  Default midi(4) device on which to play the midi file. If not specified, the content of the MIDIDEV environment variable will be
		  used instead.

     -i filename  Alternate input midi(4) device. Voice events (notes, controllers, etc) received on the input device will be sent as-is to the
		  default device. Without this flag, the default device will be used for input.

     The smfplay utility is an interface to midish(1).	If more specific features are needed, the user may consider using midish(1).

EXAMPLES

     The following will play mysong.mid on device /dev/rmidi4 and will use metronome.

	   $ smfplay -m -d /dev/rmidi4 mysong.mid
