Midcat
Concatenate MIDI file(s) to standard output
Introduction
This Perl utility joins one or more MIDI files to standard out; it can also:
- Transpose music;
- Draw a piano-roll graph of its output;
- Change tempo;
- Humanize music.
Requirements
Written under a GNU/Linux environment, this script should work on any platform supporting Perl; should you use it successfully on anything else than GNU/Linux, please let know the developer so that this info becomes public.
Download
Not ready yet for a version number; nonetheless you can already test its possibilities.
Usage
- midcat foo.mid
- Copies the MIDI file to standard out. (A bit useless, but the classical example).
- midcat foo.mid bar.mid > baz.mid
- Creates baz.mid, made by appending bar.mid to foo.mid
- midcat -k 12 -t 100 foo.mid > bar.mid
- Transposes foo.mid an octave higher, sets the tempo to 100 and stores the result in mid.bar
