MPLAY(1)               DragonFly General Commands Manual              MPLAY(1)

NAME
     mplay - a tclmidi script to play a MIDI file

SYNOPSIS
     mplay [-dev -DevicePath] [-repeat] [-smpte] [-quiet] [file]

DESCRIPTION
     mplay is a tclmidi(1) script that plays a MIDI file.  The file name may
     be specified on the command line or read from stdin.  The options are as
     follows:

     -dev -DevicePath
                 Use the device DevicePath instead of the default /dev/midi0.

     -repeat     Play the file repeatedly.  If not in quiet mode, the playing
                 may be stopped by pressing the return key.  Otherwise the
                 process must be killed.

     -smpte      With this flag mplay will use /dev/smpte0 instead of the
                 default /dev/midi0.  It will also let the SMPTE tape cotrol
                 starting and stopping the song.

     -quiet      With this option mplay will not print out messages or ask for
                 input.

     Since mplay makes use of the midiplay(n) tclmidi(1) command, this program
     will only work if tclmidi(1) was compiled with a device interface.
