NAME

midish — MIDI sequencer and filter

SYNOPSIS

DESCRIPTION

Midish is a MIDI sequencer/filter implemented as an interactive command-line interpreter. It supports:

• Multiple MIDI devices handling
• Synchronisation to external MIDI devices
• Filtering/routing (controller mapping, keyboard splitting, ...)
• Track recording, editing, quantisation
• Import and export of standard MIDI files
• Tempo and time-signature changes, user configurable metronome
• 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 additional info before each line of input, useful to front-ends and for debugging.

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