NAME
       TiMidity++ - MIDI-to-WAVE converter and player

SYNOPSIS
       timidity [options] filename [...]

DESCRIPTION
       TiMidity++  is  a converter that converts some of MIDI files (supported
       formats: Standard MIDI files (*.mid), Recomposer files  (*.rcp,	*.r36,
       *.g18,  *.g36)  and  Module  files  (*.mod)) into formatted audio files
       (e.g. RIFF WAVE).  TiMidity++ uses Gravis  Ultrasound-compatible	 patch
       files  or Soundfonts (*.sfx, *.sf2) to generate digital audio data from
       MIDI files.  The digital audio data  generated  by  TiMidity++  can  be
       stored  in  a  file  for	 processing, or played in real time through an
       audio device.
       In real time playing, TiMidity++ can show the lyrics contained  in  KAR
       or WRD files.

FILENAME
       You can use the following expressions as the filename argument:

       -      Read a MIDI file from standard input.

       path/filename
	      Read a MIDI file from the specified path on a filesystem.

       dir:directory
       directory/
	      Read  and	 play  all MIDI files in the specified directory.  For
	      example,

	      % timidity some/where/

	      plays all files in the directory some/where/.

       Archive File
	      Extract and play the file(s) in the archive.   If	 you  want  to
	      specify  a certain MIDI file in the archive, append #<MIDI-file‐
	      name> to the archive name.  The path after `#' allows the use of
	      the wildcard expressions (case insensitive).
	      You  can	use escape sequence \xHH, where `HH' is a ASCII number
	      in hexadecimal integer.

	      For example:

	      % timidity file.zip#file.mid
		     Plays file.mid in file.zip

	      % timidity file.lzh#*.mid
		     Plays any files that match the wildcard expression	 *.mid
		     in file.lzh

	      % timidity file.tgz#*
		     This expression is the same as file.tgz

	      Since  these  mechanism  are contained in TiMidity++ itself, you
	      can use this syntax even in the MS Windows environment.

	      TiMidity++ can handle the following archive formats:

	      tar (*.tar)

	      tar+gzip (*.tar.gz, *.tgz)

	      zip (*.zip)

	      lzh (*.lzh, *.lha)
		     (lh0, lh1, lh2, lh3, lh4, lh5, lh6, lz4, lzs and lz5  are
		     available)

	      Other  archives can be expanded if expander command is specified
	      on the compile phase.  TiMidity++ will pipe that command.

       news://news-server[:port]/Message-ID
       news://news-server[:port]/newsgroup[/first-last]
	      Play the MIDI file in the specified article on the news  server.
	      If  a  newsgroup	is  specified  TiMidity++ plays all MIDI files
	      found in any article posted to that newsgroup.
	      TiMidity++ parses MIME Multi-part messages in case  of  news://*
	      scheme,  extracts	 MIDI  file that was post to that group, or in
	      case of normal file, you can explicitly handle MIME documents by
	      naming that file with *.mime extension, or prefix that file with
	      mime:

	      The following MIME-types are allowed:

	      uu-encoded file
		     begin
		     is required

	      base64 encoded
		     Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64
		     is required

	      quoted-string
		     Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-string
		     is required

	      Mac BinHex format
		     only HQX format is available

       http://address
       ftp://address
	      Play the file specified in the URL.

	      For example:

	      %		     timidity		   http://www.goice.co.jp/mem‐
	      ber/mo/dist/midi/impromptu.mid
		     plays the specified MIDI-file directly from the network.

	      If  these	 expression  are used in the *.cfg files, you can even
	      use patch-files (and others) from remote machines.

INPUT FILE
       TiMidity++ can handle the following file formats:

       .mid, .rmi (Format 0, 1, 2)
	      Standard MIDI File

       .rcp, .r36, .g18, .g36 (Recomposer formats)
	      Recomposer format which is product for COME ON MUSIC co.

       .mfi (MFi Version 3 - Melody Format for i-Mode)
	      i-Mode is Japanese local mobile phone

       .kar (Karaoke format)
	      Displays the lyrics as a Lyric Meta Event message.

       .mod, mod.* (Module file)

       .wrd (WRD format)

OPTIONS
       The following command line options are accepted by TiMidity++:

       -A [n][,m](a)
       --amplification=n
       --drumpower=m
       --[no-]volume-compensation
	      Multiplies the master volume  by	n%.   Default  value  is  70%.
	      Higher  amplification  makes louder sounds.  You can specify the
	      drum power, ratio of drum volume from the other  channels.   The
	      allowed values of amplification range from 0 (no sound) to 800.
	      Optionally  to put `a' character along with -a option, or to use
	      --volume-compensation, instructs TiMidity++  to  regularize  the
	      volume.  You can easily gain dynamic range.

	      For example:

	      -A90   volume 90%, drum power 100%, compensation is off

	      -A,120 volume 70%, drum power 120%, compensation is off

	      -A90,120
		     volume 90%, drum power 120%, compensation is off

	      -Aa    volume 70%, drum power 100%, compensation is on

	      -A90a  volume 90%, drum power 100%, compensation is on

	      -A,120a
		     volume 70%, drum power 120%, compensation is on

	      -A90,120a
		     volume 90%, drum power 120%, compensation is on

       -a, --[no-]anti-alias
	      Turns on antialiasing.  Samples are run through a lowpass filter
	      before playing, which reduces aliasing noise at  low  resampling
	      frequencies.

       -B n,m, --buffer-fragments=n,m
	      For the Linux/FreeBSD/OSS/ALSA/Windows sound driver, selects the
	      number of buffer fragments in interactive mode.  Increasing  the
	      number  of  fragments  may reduce choppiness when many processes
	      are running.  It will make TiMidity++ seem to respond sluggishly
	      to  fast forward, rewind, and volume controls, and it will throw
	      the status display off sync.  Specify a fragments number of 0 to
	      use the maximum number of fragments available.

       -C n, --control-ratio=n
	      Sets the ratio of sampling and control frequencies.  This deter‐
	      mines how often envelopes are recalculated -- small ratios yield
	      better quality but use more CPU time.

       -c file, --config-file=file
	      Reads an extra configuration file.

       -D n, --drum-channel=n
	      Marks  channel as a drum channel.	 If channel is negative, chan‐
	      nel -n is marked as an instrumental channel.  If	n  is  0,  all
	      channels are marked as instrumental.

       -d dir, --interface-path=dir
	      Specifies the directory containing installed dynamic-link inter‐
	      face modules.

       -E mode, --ext=mode
	      Set TiMidity++ extend modes.  The following modes are  available
	      (capitalized switch means disable this feature):

	      w/W, --[no-]mod-wheel
		     Enable/disable modulation controlling.

	      p/P, --[no-]portamento
		     Enable/disable portamento controlling.

	      v/V, --[no-]vibrato
		     Enable/disable NRPM vibration.

	      s/S, --[no-]ch-pressure
		     Enable/disable channel pressure controlling.

	      e/E, --[no-]mod-envelope
		     Enable/disable modulation envelope controlling.

	      t/T, --[no-]trace-text-meta
		     Enable/disable tracing all Text Meta Events.

	      o/O, --[no-]overlap-voice
		     Accept/reject pronouncing multiple same notes.

	      z/Z, --[no-]temper-control
		     Enable/disable  MIDI Tuning Standard temperament control‐
		     ling.

	      mHH, --default-mid=HH
		     Sets the manufacturer ID to HH (where HH are two hex-dig‐
		     its).
		     HH	 values of GS/gs, XG/xg or GM/gm are understood as 41,
		     43 and 7e respectively.

	      MHH, --system-mid=HH
		     Sets the system manufacturer ID to HH (where HH  are  two
		     hex-digits).
		     In	 this  option, the manufacuture ID is set unchangable.
		     Manufacuture ID from the input file would be ignored.

	      bn, --default-bank=n
		     Use tone bank n as the default.

	      Bn, --force-bank=n
		     Sets the bank number of all channels to n.

	      in[/m], --default-program=n[/m]
		     Use the program number as the  default  instrument.   Any
		     Program  Change  events  in MIDI files will override this
		     option.
		     If n is followed by /m the default program number of  the
		     channel m is specified by n.

	      In[/m], --force-program=n[/m]
		     Similar to -Ei but this ignores all program changes.

	      F args For effects.  See below.  In args option, you can specify
		     following effect options:

		     delay=(d|l|r|b)[,msec], --delay=(d|l|r|b)[,msec]
			    Sets delay type.

			    d, 0   Disabled delay effect.

			    l, 1   Left delay.

			    r, 2   Right delay.

			    b, 3   Swap left & right.

			    Optional msec is the delay time.

		     chorus=(d|n|s)[,level], --chorus=(d|n|s)[,level]

			    d, 0   Disable this effect.

			    n, 1   Enable MIDI chorus effect control.

			    s, 2   Surround sound, chorus detuned to a	lesser
				   degree (default).

			    The	 optional parameter level specifies the chorus
			    level 0 to 127.

		     reverb=(d|n|g|f|G)[,level], --reverb=(d|n|g|f|G)[,level]

			    d, 0   Disable MIDI reverb effect control.

			    n, 1   Enable MIDI reverb  effect  control.	  This
				   effect is only available in stereo.

			    g, 2   Global reverb effect.

			    f, 3   Freeverb   MIDI   reverb   effect   control
				   (default).

			    G, 4   Global freeverb effect.

			    The optional parameter level specifies the	reverb
			    level 0 to 127.

		     vlpf=(d|c|m), --voice-lpf=(d|c|m)

			    d, 0   Disable LPF effect.

			    c, 1   Chamberlin	 resonant    LPF    (12dB/oct)
				   (default).

			    m, 2   Moog resonant low-pass VCF (24dB/oct)

		     ns=n, --noise-shaping=n
			    Enable the n th degree noiseshaping	 filter.   The
			    distortion	at  decay  stage  is improved, but the
			    noise on human auditory feeling increases  because
			    it	shifts	to a high frequency.  In case of 8-bit
			    linear encoding, valid values  of  n  are  in  the
			    interval  from  0 (min) to 4 (max).	 Default value
			    is 4.  In case of 16-bit  linear  encoding,	 valid
			    values  of	n  are	in  the	 interval from 0 to 4.
			    According to the value,  it	 works	as  following.
			    Default value is 4.

			    0	   No noise shaping.

			    1	   Traditional noise shaping.

			    2	   Overdrive-like  soft-clipping  +  new noise
				   shaping.

			    3	   Tube-amplifier-like	soft-clipping  +   new
				   noise shaping.

			    4	   New noise shaping.

		     resamp=(d|l|c|L|n|g), --resample=(d|l|c|L|n|g)

			    d, 0   No interpolation.

			    l, 1   Linear interpolation.

			    c, 2   Cubic spline interpolation.

			    L, 3   Lagrange method.

			    n, 4   Newton polynomial interpolation.

			    g, 5   Modified Gauss effect (default).

			    This option affects the behavior of -N option.

       -e, --evil
	      Make TiMidity++ evil.  For the Win32 version, this increases the
	      task priority by one.  It can  give  better  playback  when  you
	      switch tasks at the expense of slowing all other tasks down.

       -F, --[no-]fast-panning
	      Turns  on	 fast  panning	to accommodate MIDI pieces that expect
	      panning adjustments to affect notes that	are  already  playing.
	      Some  files that don't expect this have a habit of flipping bal‐
	      ance rapidly between left and right, which can cause severe pop‐
	      ping when the -F flag is used.
	      In the current version of TiMidity++ this option is a toggle.

       -f, --[no-]fast-decay
	      Toggles fast envelopes.  This option makes TiMidity++ faster but
	      the release time of the notes are shortened.

       -g sec, --spectrogram=sec
	      Open the Sound-Spectrogram window.  This option is activated  if
	      the system has support for the X Window System.

       -H n, --force-keysig=n
	      Specify  the  number  of	key signature.	MIDI file is performed
	      with transposition to the key of the number of sharp (when n  is
	      positive)	 or  flat (when n is negative).	 Valid values of n are
	      in the interval from -7 to 7.  For example, if n is 1, MIDI file
	      with any tonality will be performed transposing to 1 flat (i.e.,
	      F major or D minor).  Therefore, it is convenient to use for the
	      accompaniment when practicing a musical instrument by the tonal‐
	      ity which is easy to perform.

       -h, --help
	      Show the help message.

       -i mode, --interface=mode
       --realtime-priority=n
       --sequencer-ports=n
	      Selects the user interfaces from the  compiled-in	 alternatives.
	      mode  must  be begun with one of the supported interface identi‐
	      fiers.  Run TiMidity++ with the -h option to see a list.
	      For ALSA sequencer interface, optionally to use  --realtime-pri‐
	      ority,   set   the   realtime   priority	 by   n,  and  to  use
	      --sequencer-ports, set the number	 of  opened  sequencer	ports.
	      Default value is 4.
	      The following identifiers may be available:

	      -id    dumb interface

	      -in    ncurses interface

	      -is    S-Lang interface

	      -ia    X Athena Widget interface

	      -ik    Tcl/Tk interface

	      -im    Motif interface

	      -iT    vt100 interface

	      -ie    Emacs interface
		     (use ``M-x timidity'' in Emacs)

	      -ii    skin interface
		     Environment  variable  TIMIDITY_SKIN  must	 be set to the
		     path of the skin data  (compressed	 data  are  also  sup‐
		     ported).

	      -ig    GTK+ interface

	      -ir    Launch TiMidity++ as MIDI server.

	      -iA    Launch TiMidity++ as ALSA sequencer client.

	      -iW    Windodws synthesizer interface

	      -iw    Windodws GUI interface

	      -iP    PortMIDI synthesizer interface

	      -ip    UMP interface

	      Interface options
		     Option  characters	 may  be  added	 immediately after the
		     interface identifier.  The following options  are	recog‐
		     nized:

		     v, --verbose=n
			    Increases verbosity level.	This option is cumula‐
			    tive.

		     q, --quiet=n
			    Decreases verbosity level.	This option is cumula‐
			    tive.

		     t, --[no-]trace
			    Toggles  trace  mode.   In	trace mode, TiMidity++
			    attempts to display	 its  current  state  in  real
			    time.   For the Linux sound driver, this is accom‐
			    plished through the use of short DMA buffer	 frag‐
			    ments, which can be tuned via the -B option.

		     l, --[no-]loop
			    Loop playing (some interfaces ignore this option)

		     r, --[no-]random
			    Randomize file list arguments before playing

		     s, --[no-]sort
			    Sort file list arguments before playing

		     D, --[no-]background
			    Daemonize  TiMidity++  in  background (for alsaseq
			    only)

       -j, --[no-]realtime-load
	      Enable the loading of patch files during play.

       -K n, --adjust-key=n
	      Adjusts key (i.e., transposes the song) by n half tones.	Ranges
	      from -24 to 24.

       -k msec, --voice-queue=msec
	      Specify audio queue time limit to reduce voices.	If the remain‐
	      ing audio buffer is  less	 than  msec  milliseconds,  TiMidity++
	      tries  to	 kill  some voices.  This feature makes it possible to
	      play complicated MIDI files on slow CPUs.	 Setting msec to  zero
	      tells TiMidity++ to never remove any voices.

       -L path, --patch-path=path
	      Adds  path  to the library path.	Patch, configuration, and MIDI
	      files are searched along this path.  Directories added last will
	      be  searched  first.   Note that the current directory is always
	      searched first before the library path.

       -M name, --pcm-file=name
	      TiMidity++ can play a PCM file  instead  of  a  MIDI  file.   If
	      ``auto''	is  specified, TiMidity++ tries to open foo.mid.wav or
	      foo.mid.aiff when playing foo.mid.  If  ``none''	is  specified,
	      this feature is disabled.	 Otherwise just plays name.

       -m msec, --decay-time=msec
	      Modify  envelope	volume decay time.  msec is the minimum number
	      of milliseconds to sustain a sustained note.

	      -m0    Disable sustain ramping, causes constant volume  sustains
		     (default).

	      -m1    Effectively  behaves as if all sustains are ignored, vol‐
		     ume ramping is the same as normal stage 3.

	      -m3000 A note at full volume will decay for 3  seconds  once  it
		     begins to be sustained (assuming the regular stage 3 rate
		     would not cause it to decay even longer).	 Softer	 notes
		     will of course die sooner.

       -N n, --interpolation=n
	      Sets interpolation parameter.  This option depends on the -EFre‐
	      samp option's value.

	      cspline, lagrange
		     Toggles 4-point linear interpolation (default is on).

	      newton n point interpolation using Newton polynomials.   n  must
		     be an odd number from 1 to 57.

	      gauss  n+1  point	 modified Gauss interpolation.	Ranges 0 (dis‐
		     able) to 34 (max), default to 25.

	      In either way, linear interpolation is used  if  audio  queue  <
	      99%.

       -O mode, --output-mode=mode
       --flac-verify
       --flac-padding=n
       --flac-complevel=n
       --oggflac
       --speex-quality=n
       --speex-vbr
       --speex-abr=n
       --speex-vad
       --speex-dtx
       --speex-complexity=n
       --speex-nframes=n
	      Selects the output mode from the compiled-in alternatives.  mode
	      must begin with one of the supported  output  mode  identifiers.
	      Run TiMidity++ with the -h option to see the list.
	      Special  in Ogg FLAC output mode, verifying generated data (will
	      be a bit slower), the size of header padding (default is	4096),
	      the  compression	level  (0  to  8) (default is 5), and enabling
	      OggFLAC stream can be specified  by  --flac-verify,  --flac-pad‐
	      ding, --flac-complevel and --oggflac options respectively.
	      Special  in Ogg Speex output mode, the compression quality (0 to
	      10) (default is 8), Enabling VBR output, enabling ABR output and
	      setting the ratio to n, enabling VAD (voice activity detection),
	      enabling DTX (discontinuous transmission), the encoding complex‐
	      ity  (0 to 10) (default is 3), and frames in a single Ogg packet
	      (0 to 10) (default is 1) can be  specified  by  --speex-quality,
	      --speex-vbr, --speex-abr, --speex-vad, --speex-dtx, --speex-com‐
	      plexity and --speex-nframes options respectively.
	      The following identifiers are available in all versions:

	      -Od    Outputs via audio device (default)

	      -Os    Output to ALSA

	      -Or    Generate raw waveform data.  All format options are  sup‐
		     ported.  Common formats include:

		     -OrU   u-Law

		     -Or1sl 16-bit signed linear PCM

		     -Or8ul 8-bit unsigned linear PCM

	      -Ou    Generate Sun Audio (au) data

	      -Oa    Generate AIFF data

	      -Ow    Generate  RIFF WAVE format output.	 If output is directed
		     to a non-seekable file, or if TiMidity++  is  interrupted
		     before  closing  the  file,  the file header will contain
		     0xffffffff in the RIFF and data block length fields.  The
		     popular sound conversion utility sox is able to read such
		     malformed files, so you can pipe data directly to sox for
		     on-the-fly conversion to other formats.

	      Format options
		     Option characters may be added immediately after the mode
		     identifier to change the output  format.	The  following
		     options are recognized:

		     S, --output-stereo
			    Stereo

		     M, --output-mono
			    Monophonic

		     s, --output-signed
			    Signed output

		     u, --output-unsigned
			    Unsigned output

		     1, --output-16bit
			    16-bit sample width

		     2, --output-24bit
			    24-bit sample width

		     8, --output-8bit
			    8-bit sample width

		     l, --output-linear
			    Linear encoding

		     U, --output-ulaw
			    u-Law (8-bit) encoding

		     A, --output-alaw
			    A-Law encoding

		     x, --[no-]output-swab
			    Byte-swapped output

		     Note that some options have no effect on some modes.  For
		     example, you cannot generate  a  byte-swapped  RIFF  WAVE
		     file, or force uLaw output on a Linux PCM device.

       -o file, --output-file=file
	      Place  output  on	 file,	which  may be a file, device, or HP-UX
	      audio server, depending on the output mode selected with the  -O
	      option.	The special filename `-' causes output to be placed on
	      stdout.

       -P file, --patch-file=file
	      Use patch file for all programs.

       -p [n](a)
       --polyphony=n
       --[no-]polyphony-reduction
	      Sets polyphony (maximum number of simultaneous voices) to n.
	      Optionally to put `a' character along with -p option, or to  use
	      --polyphony-reduction,  instructs TiMidity++ to enable automatic
	      polyphony reduction algorithm.

       -Q n[,...](t)
       --mute=n[,...]
       --temper-mute=n[,...]
	      Cause channel n to be quiet.  n can carry out package specifica‐
	      tion  by `,'.  If n is 0, all channels are turned off.  Continu‐
	      ously, specifying -n, channel n is turned back on.
	      On the other hand, to put `t' character after -Q	option	or  to
	      use  --temper-mute describes temperament mute.  This mutes chan‐
	      nels of specific temperament type n.  For preset temperament,  n
	      can  range  0 to 3.  For user-defined temperament, n can range 4
	      to 7.

       -q sec/n, --audio-buffer=sec/n
	      Specify audio buffer in seconds.	sec maximum size of buffer,  n
	      percentage filled at the beginning (default is 5.0/100) (size of
	      100% equals the whole device buffer size).

       -R msec
	      Enables Pseudo Reverb Mode.  It sets every instrument's  release
	      to msec ms.  If msec is 0, msec is set to 800 (default).

       -S n, --cache-size=n
	      Sets  the	 re-sample  cache  size to n bytes.  If n equals 0 any
	      sample caches are disabled.  The default value of n  is  2097152
	      (2MB).

       -s freq, --sampling-freq=freq
	      Sets  the	 resampling  frequency	(Hz  or	 kHz).	 Not all sound
	      devices are capable of all frequencies --	 an  approximate  fre‐
	      quency may be selected, depending on the implementation.

       -T n, --adjust-tempo=n
	      Adjust tempo to n%; 120 play MOD files with an NTSC Amiga's tim‐
	      ing.

       -t code, --output-charset=code
	      Sets output coding of Japanese text.  Possible  values  of  code
	      are:

	      auto   determined by the LANG environment variable.

	      ascii  Translates non-ASCII code to period.

	      nocnv  No conversion.

	      1251   Convert from windows-1251 to koi8-r.

	      euc    Outputs EUC (Japan) coding.

	      jis    Outputs JIS coding.

	      sjis   Outputs SJIS coding.

       -U, --[no-]unload-instruments
	      Unload all instruments from memory between MIDI files.  This can
	      reduce memory requirements when playing many  files  in  succes‐
	      sion.

       -V power, --volume-curve=power
	      Set  the power of volume curve.  The total amplification becomes
	      volume^power.   0	 (default)  uses  the  regular	tables.	   Any
	      non-zero	value  causes  all  midi  to  use the new user defined
	      velocity/volume/expression curve (linear: 1, ideal: ~1.661,  GS:
	      ~2).

       -v, --version
	      Show the version string

       -W mode, --wrd=mode
	      Play WRD file.

	      Allowed values of mode are:

	      x	     X Window System mode

	      w	     Windows console mode

	      t	     TTY mode

	      d	     Dumb mode (outputs WRD events directory)

	      -	     do not trace WRD

	      R[opts]
		     Sets WRD options:

		     a1=b1,a2=b2,...
			    Sets  the  WRD  options.  an is the name of option
			    and bn is the value.

		     d=n    Emulates timing (@WAIT, @WMODE) bugs of the origi‐
			    nal MIMPI player.  The emulation levels are:

			    -WRd=0 do not emulate any bugs of MIMPI

			    -WRd=1 only emulate some bugs (default)

			    -WRd=2 emulate all known bugs

		     F=file Use	 file  as WRD file only no file matching *.wrd
			    is found.

		     f=file Uses file as WRD file.

	      WRD mode must also use trace mode (option -i?t) or the timing of
	      the WRD events will be terrible.

       -w mode, --rcpcv-dll=mode
	      Extended	mode for MS Windows.  The following options are avail‐
	      able:

	      -w r   Use rcpcv.dll to play RCP/R36 files.

	      -w R   Do not use rcpcv.dll (default).

       -x str, --config-string=str
	      Configure TiMidity++ with str.  The format of str is the same as
	      timidity.cfg.

	      For example:
	      -x'bank 0\n0 violin.pat'
	      Sets the instrument number 0 to violin.
	      Character `\' (Ascii 0x5c) in the str is treated as escape char‐
	      acter like in C literals.	 For example \n is treated as carriage
	      return.

       -Z file, --freq-table=file
	      Cause  the  table	 of frequencies to be read from file.  This is
	      useful to define a tuning different from	12-equal  temperament.
	      If ``pure'' is specified, TiMidity++ plays in trial pure intona‐
	      tion.

	      -Zpure[n(m)], --pure-intonation=[n(m)]
		     Play in trial pure intonation by Key Signature meta-event
		     in	 the MIDI file.	 You can specify the initial keysig by
		     hand, in  case  the  MIDI	file  does  not	 contains  the
		     meta-event.   Optionally,	n  is the number of key signa‐
		     ture.  In case of sharp, n is positive.  In case of flat,
		     n	is  negative.	Valid  values of n are in the interval
		     from -7 to 7.  In case of minor mode, you should put  `m'
		     character along with -Zpure option.

       --module=n
	      Simulate behavior of specific synthesizer module as much as pos‐
	      sible.  For the moment, the value of n defined is as follows:

	      0	     TiMidity++ Default

	      1	     Roland SC-55

	      2	     Roland SC-88

	      3	     Roland SC-88Pro

	      4	     Roland SC-8850
