midirecord — record midi files

midirecord [-aDfhoqV] [-B buffersize] [-c channels] [-d devices] [-f sequencerdev] [-n notesperbeat] [-R roundbeats] [-r raw_output] [-T tempo] [-t time] file

The midirecord program converts the sequencer events read on sequencerdev to the named MIDI SMF output. If the file name is -, output will go to the standard output. By default, timing for events begins with the first event. The -o flag may be used to start timing events at the process start up.

The following options are available:

Append to the specified file, rather than overwriting.
buffersize
Set the sequencer device read buffer size to buffersize. The default value is 32768 bytes.
channels
Sets the filter list of channels to channels, which is a comma separated list of channels to filter in.
Enable debug log.
devices
Sets the filter list of devices to devices, which is a comma separated list of devices to filter in.
sequencerdev
Sets the sequencer device to use to sequencerdev. The default is /dev/music.
Print a help message.
notesperbeat
Sets the MIDI notes (clocks) per beat to notesperbeat.
Start the relative timer at process start up instead of at the first event.
Be quiet.
roundbeats
Round timings to roundbeats of a note. Output will always be aligned to this many beats.
raw_output
Create the raw output of the sequencer device in raw_output.
tempo
Set the tempo for the recording to tempo.
time
Sets the maximum amount of time to record. Format is [hh:]mm:ss[.dddddd].
Be verbose.

The midirecord program was first seen in NetBSD 7.

The midirecord program was written by Matthew R. Green <mrg@eterna.com.au>.

SYSEX, LOCAL and FULLSIZE messages are not currently handled, but the NetBSD sequencer(4) device does not generate them.
