lmms: Start the GUI and import MIDI or Hydrogen file.
$ lmms --import ${path-to-midi-or-hydrogen-file}
try on your machine
The command "lmms --import ${path-to-midi-or-hydrogen-file}" is used to import a MIDI or Hydrogen file into LMMS (Linux MultiMedia Studio) software.
LMMS is a free digital audio workstation that allows users to create and produce music. It supports MIDI file formats and also files created with Hydrogen, a drum machine software.
Here's a breakdown of the command:
- "lmms" is the command used to launch the LMMS software.
- "--import" is an option or flag that tells LMMS to import a file.
- "${path-to-midi-or-hydrogen-file}" is a placeholder for the actual file path of the MIDI or Hydrogen file you want to import. You need to replace this placeholder with the full path to your file.
For example, if you have a MIDI file called "mysong.mid" stored in the "/home/user/music" directory, the command would be:
lmms --import /home/user/music/mysong.mid
LMMS will then import the file and make it available for editing or playback within the software.
