Ubuntu Manpage: vmpk - Virtual MIDI Piano Keyboard

NAME

       vmpk - Virtual MIDI Piano Keyboard

SYNOPSIS


       vmpk [options...]

DESCRIPTION

       This manual page documents briefly the vmpk program.

       This program uses standard Qt options.

       Virtual MIDI Piano Keyboard is a MIDI events generator and receiver. It doesn't produce any sound by
       itself, but can be used to drive a MIDI synthesizer (either hardware or software, internal or external).
       You can use the computer's keyboard to play MIDI notes, and also the mouse. You can use the Virtual MIDI
       Piano Keyboard to display the played MIDI notes from another instrument or MIDI file player.

VMPK OPTIONS

       The following options apply to vmpk only:

       -h|--help
           Displays a help text.

       -v|--version
           Displays version information.

       -p|--portable
           Enables portable settings mode using a default configuration file name.

       -f path/file.conf
           This option implies --portable as well. Reads and writes path/file.conf as the portable settings
           configuration file name.

           This configuration file is always a text file with INI format, despite the running Operating System
           conventions.

STANDARD OPTIONS

The following options apply to all Qt5/6 applications:

-style= style / -style style
Set the application GUI style. Possible values depend on the system configuration. If Qt is compiled
with additional styles or has additional styles as plugins these will be available to the -style
command line option.

-stylesheet= stylesheet / -stylesheet stylesheet
Set the application styleSheet. The value must be a path to a file that contains the Style Sheet.

-widgetcount
Print debug message at the end about number of widgets left undestroyed and maximum number of widgets
existed at the same time.

-reverse
Set the application's layout direction to Qt::RightToLeft. This option is intended to aid debugging
and should not be used in production. The default value is automatically detected from the user's
locale (see also QLocale::textDirection()).

-platform platformName[:options]
Specify the Qt Platform Abstraction (QPA) plugin.

-platformpluginpath path
Specify the path to platform plugins.

-platformtheme platformTheme
Specify the platform theme.

-qwindowicon icon
Set the default window icon.

-session session
Restore the application from an earlier session.

-display hostname:screen_number
