NAME¶

wildmidi - example player for libWildMidi

LIBRARY¶

libWildMidi

FILES¶

/etc/wildmidi.cfg

SYNOPSIS¶

wildmidi [-behlv] [-c config-file] [-d device] [-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_file config-file

Uses the configuration file stated by config-file instead of /etc/wildmidi.cfg

-d device | --auddev=device

Send the audio to device instead of the default. ALSA defaults to the system "default" while OSS defaults to "/dev/dsp". Win32 environments ignore this option.

-e | --enhanced_resample

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 | --master_volume=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.

-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.
