I'd love to find a command-line MIDI file player
that will
use ALSA MIDI (not its own internal synth), and also will
accept arrow keys or some other key commands on stdin to
fastforward, rewind, pause, play, etc.
recent midish versions can almost do that, but not with the
arrow keys, unfortunately. It's controlled from stdin,
supports start/stop and relocate (for rewind/fastforward).
ex:
dnew 0 "28:0" wo # use 28:0 port for output
import "myfile.mid" # import file to play
p # play
s # stop
g 17 # go to measure #17
when you change the position, it restores the states of all
controllers and handles the note-off events of skipped
notes.
