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. AUTHOR

MIDICOPY(1) General Commands Manual MIDICOPY(1) NAME
midicopy - Copy selected track, channel, time interval of a MIDI file to another MIDI file SYNOPSIS
midicopy [-ver] [-trks n1,n2,..] [-chans n1,n2,...] [-from n (in midi ticks)] [-to n (in midi ticks)] [-fromsec %f n (in seconds)] [-tosec n (in seconds)] [-frombeat %f n (in beats)] [-tosec n (in beats)] [-replace trk,loc,val] input.mid output.mid DESCRIPTION
midicopy is used to copy part of a MIDI file to another MIDI file. You can select a particular time interval, particular channels, and par- ticular tracks or any combinations. If one or both of the run time parameters -from or -to are included, the program returns the playing time in seconds of the output file. Midicopy was developed by Seymour Shlien from the midifilelib distribution available from http://www.harmony-central.com/MIDI/midifilelib.tar.gz. OPTIONS
-ver prints version number and then exits -trks n Selects the tracks to be copied where the track numbers start from 1. If more than one track is specified, they should be separated by commas. You should always copy track 1 since by convention it contains information pertinent to all the other tracks. By default all tracks are copied unless you specify particular tracks using this run time parameter. -chns n Like above, it specifies the MIDI channels to be copied. By default all channels are copied. Channel numbers also start from 1. -from n The program will copy all MIDI commands starting from midi pulse number n. By default it will start from time zero or the beginning of the MIDI file. -to n Stops copying all events after midi pulse number n. By default the file is copied to the end. -frombeat n The program will copy all MIDI commands starting from quarter beat number n. By default it will start from time zero or the begin- ning of the MIDI file. -tobeat n Stops copying all events after quarter beat number n. By default the file is copied to the end. -fromsec n The program will copy all MIDI commands starting from time n in seconds. -tosec n Stops copying all events after time n in seconds. These two options (-fromsec and -tosec) do not work accurately if the MIDI file has more than one tempo command. Only the first one is used for converting seconds into MIDI pulse units. It is therefore prefer- able to use the -from and -to options. -replace trk,loc,val This option should be used alone. Midicopy will copy the entire file verbatim except it will replace a byte by val, where the byte is located in the specified track (trk) and specified position (loc). Commonly this function is used for changing a particular MIDI program number (instrument) associated with a channel. You need to know the byte count in the track of that parameter in order to use this function, EXAMPLE
midicopy.exe -trks 1,5 -from 2669 -to 8634 uzicko.mid fragment.mid Midicopy will copy tracks 1 and 5 starting from midi pulse position 2669 and ending at MIDI pulse position 8634. SEE ALSO
