timidity: Play a MIDI file in a loop.
$ timidity --loop ${filename-mid}
try on your machine
The command "timidity --loop ${filename-mid}" is used to loop a MIDI file using the Timidity++ software.
Here is a breakdown of the command:
- "timidity": This is the command to execute the Timidity++ software.
- "--loop": This option instructs Timidity++ to loop the MIDI file.
- "${filename-mid}": This is a placeholder for the actual name of the MIDI file you want to loop. In a script or command line, you would replace "${filename-mid}" with the actual file name and extension (e.g., "mysong.mid").
When you execute this command, Timidity++ will open the specified MIDI file and continue playing it in an infinite loop until you manually stop the program or interrupt the loop.
