MIDIDUMP(1)

🎀 NAME 🎀

Welcome to the General Commands Manual corner, bestie: mididump — dump MIDI events. That's the whole vibe. 💅

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

mididump [-t] device

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

Okay so mididump is the utility that dumps MIDI 1.0 events in real-time. Like, live MIDI tea spilling onto your terminal. 💖

The options are as follows:

• -t — Print "Timing Clock" events. These events are not printed by default, because they tend to clutter output. No cap, that default is doing you a favor. 🙈

The device argument corresponds to the MIDI device (e.g. /dev/umidi0.0). So you point it at your MIDI device and let it do its thing. 🎹
