.I \-p,\-\-port=client:port,...
|
|
Sets the sequencer port(s) from which events are recorded.
|
|
|
|
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.
|
|
|
|
.TP
|
|
.I \-b,\-\-bpm=beats
|
|
Sets the musical tempo of the MIDI file, in beats per minute.
|
|
The default value is 120 BPM.
|
|
|
|
.TP
|
|
.I \-f,\-\-fps=frames
|
|
Sets the SMPTE resolution, in frames per second.
|
|
Possible values are 24, 25, 29.97 (for 30 drop-frame), and 30.
|
|
|
|
.TP
|
|
.I \-t,\-\-ticks=ticks
|
|
Sets the resolution of timestamps (ticks) in the MIDI file,
|
|
in ticks per beat (when using musical tempo) or ticks per frame
|
|
(when using SMPTE timing).
|
|
The default value is 384 ticks/beat or 40 ticks/frame, respectively.
|
|
|
|
.TP
|
|
.I \-s,\-\-split\-channels
|
|
Specifies that the data for each MIDI channel should be written to a
|
|
separate track in the MIDI file.
|
|
This will result in a "format 1" file.
|
|
Otherwise, when there is only one track,
|
|
.B arecordmidi
|
|
will generate a "format 0" file.
|
|
|
|
.TP
|
|
.I \-m,\-\-metronome=client:port
|
|
Plays a metronome signal on the specified sequencer port.
|
|
|
|
Metronome sounds are played on channel 10, MIDI notes 33 & 34 (GM2/GS/XG
|
|
metronome standard notes), with velocity 100 and duration 1.
|
|
|
|
.TP
|
|
.I \-i,\-\-timesig=numerator:denominator
|
|
Sets the time signature for the MIDI file and metronome.
|
|
|
|
The time signature is specified as usual with two numbers, representing
|
|
the numerator and denominator of the time signature as it would be
|
|
notated. The denominator must be a power of two. Both numbers should be
|
|
separated by a colon. The time signature is 4:4 by default.
