The following utilities are included on newest alsa-utils packages. Both can
print the incoming MIDI events as human readable text in realtime.
amidi (using ALSA raw MIDI interface)
amidi is a command-line utility which allows to receive and send SysEx
(system exclusive) data from/to external MIDI devices. It can also
send any other MIDI commands.
-d, --dump
Prints data received from the MIDI port as hexadecimal bytes.
Active Sensing bytes (FEh) will not be shown, unless the -a
option has been given.
arecordmidi (using ALSA sequencer)
arecordmidi is a command-line utility that records a Standard MIDI File
from one or more ALSA sequencer ports.
-d,--dump
Shows the events received as text on standard output.
For SMF files, both Fluidsynth and Timidity can do so.
$ timidity -idvvv music.mid
$ fluidsynth -v music.mid
You can also try my little utilities in C and Pascal, including a midi monitor
utility with GUI interface for Kylix that you can find here:
