NAME
     midish - MIDI sequencer and filter

SYNOPSIS
     midish [-bhv]

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

           o   Multiple MIDI devices handling
           o   Synchronisation to external MIDI devices
           o   Filtering/routing (controller mapping, keyboard splitting, ...)
           o   Track recording, editing, quantisation
           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 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".

FILES
     $HOME/.midishrc  startup script
     /etc/midishrc    startup script (if $HOME/.midishrc doesn't exist)
