NAME
gneutronica - a MIDI drum machine application
SYNOPSIS
gneutronica [ -d outputdevice ] [ -i
inputdevice ] [ -k drumkit ] [ -m ]
DESCRIPTION
Gneutronica is an application for creating and playing back drum
tracks to MIDI devices, typically keyboards, drum machines or other
sound modules. It provides flexible tempo control allowing for
tempo changes at measure boundaries, specification of arbitrary
measure length (in beats) and allows for arbitrary placement of
notes,
- -d device
- Specify the device file to which MIDI commands are sent. (e.g.
a percussion sound module, or a softsynth.) The default is
/dev/snd/midi1.
- -i inputdevice
- Specify the device file from which MIDI commands are read.
(e.g. a MIDI input device of some sort, a keyboard or drum pad, for
instance.) Probably something like /dev/snd/MIDIC?D0
- -k drumkit
- Specify a drumkit file. There are a number of drumkit files
included with gneutronica in /usr/local/share/gneutronica/drumkits
corresponding to various devices, or you may create your own
drumkit files for your particular devices.
- -m
- Do not maximize the windows at startup. By default, the windows
are maximized to occupy the entire screen. (You can switch between
the two windows with alt-tab, or whatever method your window
manager provides for this purpose.)
