amidi
amidi [options]
Read and write raw MIDI files (.syx format, without timing information) to ALSA ports. For standard MIDI (.mid) files, use aplaymidi and arecordmidi.
Options
-a,--active-sensing
Record and send active-sensing (FEh) bytes in MIDI commands. By default, these bytes are ignored.
-d,--dump
Output all received data directly to the screen.
-h,--help
Display help information and quit.
-l,--list-devices
List all hardware MIDI ports.
-L,--list-rawmidis
List all RawMIDI definitions. Useful for debugging configuration files.
-p,--port=name
Use the specified port. This overrides the port set in the configuration file. If neither this flag nor the configuration file sets a port, the default is port 0 on device 0, which may or may not exist.
-r,--receive=filename
Write data from the port specified with the -p or --port flag to the file named here. This will be a raw file, and should end in .syx. Unless you use the -a option, it will not contain any Active Sensing (FEh) bytes.
-s,--send=filename
Send the file to the port specified with the -p or --port flag. Use raw (.syx) MIDI files only.
-S,--send-hex="hex-numbers..."
Send a string of hexadecimal numbers to the port specified with the -p or --port flag.
-t,--timeout=n
Stop listening after n seconds of receiving no data.
-V,--version
Display version information and quit. |
