NAME
     midish -- MIDI sequencer and filter

SYNOPSIS
     midish [-bhv]

DESCRIPTION
     Midish is a MIDI sequencer/filter implemented as an interactive command-line interpreter (users wanting to use midish interactively may con-
     sider using the rmidish(1) utility).  Here are some of its features:

     o	 Multiple MIDI devices handling
     o	 Synchronisation to external MIDI devices
     o	 Filtering/routing (controller mapping, keyboard splitting, ...)
     o	 Track recording, editing, quatisation
     o	 Import and export of standard MIDI files
     o	 Tempo and time-signature changes, user configurable metronome
     o	 System exclusive messages handling

     The options are as follows:

     -b   Do not process $HOME/.midishrc or /etc/midishrc and stop on the first error on the standard input.  Useful for scripting

     -h   Print usage information.

     -v   Print additionnal info before each line of input, useful to front-ends and for dubugging.

     Once midish started, the interpreter processes the $HOME/.midishrc file (or /etc/midishrc if the later dosn't exist) and starts prompting for
     commands.	For further information about the syntax of midish refer to the ``Midish user's manual''.

FILES
     $HOME/.midishrc  startup script
     /etc/midishrc    startup script (if $HOME/.midishrc doesn't exist)
     /dev/rmidiN      midi(4) devices used by midish
