Virtual MIDI Piano Keyboard 0.2.0 (Default branch)
09-27-2008
Virtual MIDI Piano Keyboard is a MIDI event generator and receiver. It doesn't produce any sound by itself, but can be used to drive a MIDI synthesizer (either hardware or software, internal or external). You can use the computer's keyboard or mouse to play MIDI notes. You can use the Virtual MIDI Piano Keyboard to display the played MIDI notes from another instrument or MIDI file player.

MIDIPLAY(1) BSD General Commands Manual MIDIPLAY(1) NAME
midiplay -- play MIDI and RMID files SYNOPSIS
midiplay [-d devno] [-f file] [-l] [-m] [-p pgm] [-q] [-t tempo] [-v] [-x] [file ...] DESCRIPTION
The midiplay command plays MIDI and RMID files using the sequencer device. If no file name is given it will play from standard input, other- wise it will play the named files. RMID files are Standard MIDI Files embedded in a RIFF container and can usually be found with the 'rmi' extension. They contain some addi- tional information in other chunks which are not parsed by midiplay yet. The program accepts the following options: -d devno specifies the number of the MIDI device used for output (as listed by the -l flag). There is no way at present to have midiplay map playback to more than one device. The default is device is given by environment variable MIDIUNIT. -f file specifies the name of the sequencer device. -l list the possible devices without playing anything. -m show MIDI file meta events (copyright, lyrics, etc). -p pgm force all channels to play with the single specified program (or instrument patch, range 1-128). Program change events in the file will be suppressed. There is no way at present to have midiplay selectively map channels or instruments. -q specifies that the MIDI file should not be played, just parsed. -t tempo-adjust specifies an adjustment (in percent) to the tempi recorded in the file. The default of 100 plays as specified in the file, 50 halves every tempo, and so on. -v be verbose. If the flag is repeated the verbosity increases. -x play a small sample sound instead of a file. A file containing no tempo indication will be played as if it specified 150 beats per minute. You have been warned. ENVIRONMENT
MIDIUNIT the default number of the MIDI device used for output. The default is 0. FILES

midi(4) HISTORY
The midiplay command first appeared in NetBSD 1.4. BUGS
It may take a long while before playing stops when midiplay is interrupted, as the data already buffered in the sequencer will contain timing events. BSD
