Drumstick MIDI monitor using ALSA sequencer and QT user interface

Synopsis

kmidimon [ options ] [ file ]

Description

Drumstick MIDI Monitor records events coming from a MIDI external port or application via the ALSA sequencer, or stored as Standard MIDI Files (SMF), RIFF MIDI (RMI) or Cakewalk (WRK) files. It is especially useful if you want to debug MIDI software or your MIDI setup. It features a nice graphical user interface, customizable event filters and sequencer parameters, support for all MIDI messages and some ALSA messages, and saving the recorded event list to a text file or SMF.
