midiplay command plays MIDI and RMID files using the
sequencer device. If no file name is given it will play from standard input,
otherwise it will play the named files.
RMID files are Standard MIDI Files embedded in a RIFF container
and can usually be found with the ‘rmi’ extension. They
contain some additional information in other chunks which are not parsed by
midiplay yet.
The program accepts the following options:
-d
devno-l flag). There is no way at present to have
midiplay map playback to more than one device. The
default is device is given by environment variable
MIDIUNIT.-f
file-l-m-p
pgmmidiplay selectively map channels or
instruments.-q-s-t
tempo-adjust-v-xA file containing no tempo indication will be played as if it specified 150 beats per minute. You have been warned.
MIDIUNITmidiplay command first appeared in
NetBSD 1.4.
midiplay is interrupted, as the data already buffered
in the sequencer will contain timing events. Use
midiplay with the -s option to
silence any sounds left after an interrupted call.
