It allows you to play music using the\ntwo bottom rows of the keyboard, with the bottom row (Z to /) being the white\npiano keys, while the next row (A to ') the black keys.\n\nThe MPU-401 base I/O port can be specified with the `-p` command-line option.\nThe default is to heed the `P:` part of the `BLASTER` environment variable, if\nit is set, or otherwise fallback to using 330h.\n\nLatest release (1.0):\n  - http://nuclear.mutantstargoat.com/sw/midikeys/releases/midikeys-1.0.tar.gz\n  - http://nuclear.mutantstargoat.com/sw/midikeys/releases/midkey10.zip\n\nBoth release archives are identical, containing source code and DOS executable.\n\n\nLicense\n-------\nCopyright (C) 2022-2024 John Tsiombikas \u003cnuclear@mutantstargoat.com\u003e\n\nThis program is free software.

See COPYING for\ndetails.\n\nControls\n--------\n  - Bottom two rows of keys (Z to /) and (A to '): play notes.\n  - Number keys (1-8): change MIDI channel.\n  - `(` and `)`: change instrument.\n  - `[` and `]`: shift octave down/up.\n  - `+` and `-`: change velocity.\n  - Escape: exit the program.\n\nCommand line arguments\n----------------------\n  - `-p \u003cport\u003e`: set MIDI base I/O port.\n  - `-c \u003cchannel\u003e`: select initial MIDI channel.\n  - `-i \u003cinstrument\u003e`: select initial MIDI instrument.\n  - `-o \u003coctave\u003e`: select initial octave (1 - 7).\n\nBuild\n-----\nTo build midikeys you need the Watcom or OpenWatcom C compiler. There are no\ndependencies, just type `wmake` to build.\n\nRunning in dosbox\n-----------------\nTo run in dosbox or dosbox-x, if it doesn't work automatically, you might need\nto configure which system MIDI device dosbos should use. For me on GNU/Linux\nwith timidity configured as an ALSA MIDI device, I had to create this simple\n`dosbox.conf` file in the current directory:\n\n    [midi]\n    mididevice=alsa\n    midiconfig=128:0\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fjtsiomb%2Fmidikeys","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Fjtsiomb%2Fmidikeys","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fjtsiomb%2Fmidikeys/lists"}
