midirecord
program converts the sequencer events
read on sequencerdev to the named MIDI SMF output. If
the file name is -, output will go to the standard output. By default, timing
for events begins with the first event. The -o
flag
may be used to start timing events at the process start up.

MIDIDEVICE
midirecord
to observe activity on a MIDI bus
using the -D
and -V
options
and learn about device-specific MIDI messages.
For instance, to determine the MIDI messages needed to switch to ARP mode on a Korg minilogue XD synthesizer, which does not document any control change or non-registered parameter numbers for this function but does document that ARP is part of the “VOICE TYPE MODE”, parameter these messages were seen:
midi_event_chn_common_to_output:444:
MIDI_CTL_CHANGE: channel 0 ctrl 62 val 10
midi_event_chn_common_to_output:444:
MIDI_CTL_CHANGE: channel 0 ctrl 6 val 1
which shows that CC#62 (hexadecimal) was set to value 10 (also hexadecimal), and that CC#6 was set to value 1. As CC#62 is also the least significant byte of the non-registered parameter number, we can guess that NRPN 0,62 controls the “VOICE MODE TYPE” parameter documented in the synthesizer manual, and that the value 1 set to CC#6 (Control Data Entry MSB) turns on ARP mode. For completeness, setting both CC#62 and CC#63 for the parameter number, as well as CC#6 and CC#26 (Control Data Entry MSB) to 0 provides a complete NRPN control message.

midirecord
will hang after the timeout
waiting for the very next message before it will exit and finish writing the
file.
