NAME

   aplaymidi - play Standard MIDI Files

SYNOPSIS

   aplaymidi -p client:port[,...] [-d delay] midifile ...

DESCRIPTION

   aplaymidi  is  a  command-line  utility  that  plays the specified MIDI
   file(s) to one or more ALSA sequencer ports.

OPTIONS

   -h, --help
          Prints a list of options.

   -V, --version
          Prints the current version.

   -l, --list
          Prints a list of possible output ports.

   -p, --port=client:port,...
          Sets the sequencer port(s) to  which  the  events  in  the  MIDI
          file(s) are sent.

          A  client  can be specified by its number, its name, or a prefix
          of its name. A port is specified by its number; for port 0 of  a
          client, the ":0" part of the port specification can be omitted.

          Multiple  ports  can  be  specified  to  allow  playback of MIDI
          file(s) that contain events for  multiple  devices  (ports),  as
          specified by "Port Number" meta events.

          For compatibility with pmidi(1), the port specification is taken
          from the ALSA_OUTPUT_PORTS environment variable if none is given
          on the command line.

   -d, --delay=seconds
          Specifies  how  long to wait after the end of each MIDI file, to
          allow the last notes to die away.

BUGS

   aplaymidi handles "Port Number" meta events, but not "Port  Name"  meta
   events.
