The manual page and help for the amidi linux command. Amidi is a command line utility that allows you to receive and send SysEx (systemless) data from external MIDI devices. The program can also send other MIDI commands. Amidi only handles files that contain raw MIDI commands, without timing information. Amidi does not support standard MIDI (.mid) files, but aplaymidi (1) and arecordmidi (1) do.
