SYNOPSIS
wildmidi [-behlvwn] [-c config-file] [-d audiodev] [-m volume-level] [-o wav-file] midifile ...
DESCRIPTION
This is a demonstration program to show the capabilities of libWildMidi.midifile is processed by libWildMidi and the resulting audio is output by the player.
You can have more than one midifile on the command line and wildmidi will pass them to libWildMidi for processing, one after the other. You can also use wildcards, for example: wildmidi *.mid
OPTIONS
- -b | --reverb
- Turns on an 8 point reverb engine that adds depth to the final mix.
- -c config-file | --config config-file
- Uses the configuration file stated by config-file instead of /etc/wildmidi/wildmidi.cfg
- -d audiodev | --device=audiodev
- Send the audio to audiodev instead of the default. ALSA defaults to the system "default" while OSS defaults to "/dev/dsp". Other environments do not support this option.
- -e | --enhanced
- Switches to a gauss based resampling algorithm which can improve the shape of the sound.
- -h | --help
- Displays command line options
- -l | --log_vol
- Some MIDI files have been recorded on hardware that uses a volume curve, making them sound really badly mixed on other MIDI devices. Use this option to use volume curves.
- -m volume-level | --mastervol=volume-level
- Set the overall volume level to volume-level. The minimum is 0 and the maximum is 127, with the default being 100.
- -o wav-file | --wavout=wav-file
- Records the audio in wav format to wav-file.
- -r sndrate | --rate=sndrate
- Set the audio output rate to sndrate. The default rate is 32072.
- -w | --wholetempo
- Round down tempo to whole number
- -n | --roundtempo
- Round tempo to nearest whole number
- -v | --version
- Display version and copyright information
TEST OPTIONS
These options are not designed for general use. Instead these options are designed to make it easier to listen to specific sound samples.Note: These options are not displayed by -h | --help
- -k N | --test_bank=N
- Set the test bank to N. Range is 0 to 127.
- -p N | --test_patch=N
- Set the test patch to N. Range is 0 to 127.
- -t | --test_midi
- Plays the built in test midi which plays all 127 notes.
USER INTERFACE
The player accepts limited user input that allows some interaction while playing midi files.
