aplaymidi2 is a program similar like aplaymidi, but intended for playing back a MIDI Clip file that was introduced for handling UMP. MIDI Clip file contains UMP packets, and its structure is much simpler than SMF. The options are mostly same as aplaymidi, but I omitted -l option for simplifying the code.

|
|
.SH NAME
|
|
aplaymidi2 \- play MIDI Clip Files
|
|
|
|
.SH SYNOPSIS
|
|
.B aplaymidi2
|
|
\-p client:port[,...] midi2file ...
|
|
|
|
.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
.B aplaymidi2
|
|
is a command-line utility that plays the specified MIDI Clip file(s) to one
|
|
or more ALSA sequencer ports.
|
|
|
|
.SH OPTIONS
|
|
|
|
.TP
|
|
.I \-h, \-\-help
|
|
Prints a list of options.
|
|
|
|
.TP
|
|
.I \-V, \-\-version
|
|
Prints the current version.
|
|
|
|
.TP
|
|
.I \-p, \-\-port=client:port,...
|
|
Sets the sequencer port(s) to which the events in the MIDI Clip 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 Clip file(s) that
|
|
contain events for multiple devices (ports) corresponding to the
|
|
multiple UMP Groups.
|
|
|
|
For compatibility with
|
|
.B pmidi(1),
|
|
the port specification is taken from the
|
|
.I ALSA_OUTPUT_PORTS
|
|
environment variable if none is given on the command line.
|
|
|
|
.B aplaymidi2
|
|
supports only basic UMP events: in addition to the standard MIDI1 and
|
|
MIDI2 CVMs and 7bit SysEx, only the following are supported:
|
|
DCTPQ, DC, Set Tempo, Start Clip and End Clip.
|
|
Lyrics and other meta data in Flex Data are skipped, so far.
|
|
|
|
The multiple output ports are useful when the given MIDI Clip file
|
|
contains the UMP packets for multiple Groups.
|
|
When the destination port is a UMP MIDI 2.0 port, the single
|
|
connection should suffice, though, since a MIDI 2.0 port can process
|
|
the inputs for multiple Groups. For other cases (e.g. connecting to a
|
|
legacy MIDI port), you would need to specify the destination port per
|
|
Group. If undefined, it's sent to the first destination port as
|
|
default.
|
|
|
|
.TP
|
|
.I \-d, \-\-delay=seconds
|
|
Specifies how long to wait after the end of each MIDI Clip file,
|
|
to allow the last notes to die away.
|
|
Default is 2 seconds.
