klick - An advanced metronome for JACK
SYNOPSIS
klick [options] [bars] [meter] tempo[-tempo2/accel] [pattern]
klick [options] -f filename
klick [options] -i
klick [options] -j
DESCRIPTION
klick is an advanced command-line based metronome using the JACK sound server. It allows you to define complex tempo maps for entire songs
or performances. A single meter and tempo can be specified on the command line, while more complex tempo maps can be read from plain text
files. Alternatively, it's also possible to run klick in interactive mode, where the tempo can be changed at runtime using the keyboard, or
to follow tempo information read from JACK transport.
OPTIONS -f filename
load tempo map from file
-j no tempo map, just follow jack transport
-n name
set jack client name
-p port,..
jack port(s) to connect to
-P automatically connect to hardware ports
-o port
OSC port to listen on
-i interactive mode
-W filename
export click track to audio file
-r samplerate
sample rate of export (default: 48000)
-s number
use built-in sounds:
0: square wave (default)
1: sine wave
2: noise
3: acoustic bell/click
-S file[,file]
load sounds from file(s)
-e no emphasized beats
-E emphasized beats only
-v mult[,mult]
adjust playback volume (default: 1.0)
-w mult[,mult]
adjust playback pitch (default: 1.0)
-t enable jack transport
-T become transport master (implies -t)
-d seconds
delay before starting playback
-c bars
pre-roll. use -c 0 for 2 beats
-l label
start playback at the given label
-x multiplier

arecordmidi - record Standard MIDI Files
SYNOPSIS
arecordmidi -p client:port[,...] [options] midifile
DESCRIPTION
arecordmidi is a command-line utility that records a Standard MIDI File from one or more ALSA sequencer ports.
To stop recording, press Ctrl+C.
OPTIONS -h,--help
Prints a list of options.
-V,--version
Prints the current version.
-l,--list
Prints a list of possible input ports.
-p,--port=client:port,...
Sets the sequencer port(s) from which events are recorded.
A client can be specified by its number, its name, or a prefix of its name. A port is specified by its number; for port 0 of a
client, the ":0" part of the port specification can be omitted.
-b,--bpm=beats
Sets the musical tempo of the MIDI file, in beats per minute. The default value is 120 BPM.
-f,--fps=frames
Sets the SMPTE resolution, in frames per second. Possible values are 24, 25, 29.97 (for 30 drop-frame), and 30.
-t,--ticks=ticks
Sets the resolution of timestamps (ticks) in the MIDI file, in ticks per beat (when using musical tempo) or ticks per frame (when
using SMPTE timing). The default value is 384 ticks/beat or 40 ticks/frame, respectively.
-s,--split-channels
Specifies that the data for each MIDI channel should be written to a separate track in the MIDI file. This will result in a "format
1" file. Otherwise, when there is only one track, arecordmidi will generate a "format 0" file.
-m,--metronome=client:port
Plays a metronome signal on the specified sequencer port.
Metronome sounds are played on channel 10, MIDI notes 33 & 34 (GM2/GS/XG metronome standard notes), with velocity 100 and duration
1.
-i,--timesig=numerator:denominator
Sets the time signature for the MIDI file and metronome.
The time signature is specified as usual with two numbers, representing the numerator and denominator of the time signature as it
would be notated. The denominator must be a power of two. Both numbers should be separated by a colon. The time signature is 4:4 by
default.
