How do I restart it?
I guess I can't forward either?
Elegant in it's simplicity.
You mean to say that to play back a midi filed with pause, back
up or forward, I need to use a sequencer?
You're saying that there is no midi player in linux that allows
the simple controls of a tape player?
I'm running rh9/planet ccrma, I can't find a player there. I
figured that's because I'm a slowhead. Is there none?
Is there a midi file player for the 2.6 kernal, fc?? kernel?
If there's nothing, I'm starting to think linux is real weak
on midi playback.
If you have kde installed, take a look at kmid.

That's not how ALSA MIDI works, you can't just
cat a .mid
file to a device node. Use aplaymidi.

Speaking of aplaymidi, how do I pause a playback , back it
up
You can't do that or
just stop it
Ctrl-C , once
it's playing. man aplaymidi tells me nothing.
You need to get a sequencer if you want full featured MIDI
playback, aplaymidi is just a simple utility, a toy basically.
Lee By the way, could you comment on my recent question on
tuning
a midi keyboard?
Its probably more accurate than the piano tuners tuning forks if its had
any fine tuning done reset back to no corrections. The crystals used
as the reference generators are typically better than .001% accurate
and you can tune the piano/whatever to the keyboard with good
confidence that you are at least as correct as the tuning fork the
piano tuner used to use.
