files

DDDDEEEESSSSCCCCRRRRIIIIPPPPTTTTIIIIOOOONNNN
ssssyyyynnnntttthhhheeeeddddiiiittttoooorrrr allows users to edit and modify the active presets and voices
in mmmmiiiiddddiiiissssyyyynnnntttthhhh in real time, and also functions as an editor for modifying
or creating synthesizer preset files (see ssssyyyynnnntttthhhhpppprrrreeeesssseeeetttt(4)).
ssssyyyynnnntttthhhheeeeddddiiiittttoooorrrr has the following command-line options:
----hhhheeeellllpppp
Display the available options and flags.
----cccchhhhaaaannnnnnnneeeellll <<<<cccchhhhaaaannnn>>>>
Listen on MIDI channel <chan>. Default is channel 1.
----nnnnoooommmmiiiiddddiiii
Do not communicate with mmmmiiiiddddiiiissssyyyynnnntttthhhh(1) via MIDI. This mode is useful
when editing and/or creating ssssyyyynnnntttthhhhpppprrrreeeesssseeeetttt(4) files independent of the
synth.
----nnnnooooffffoooorrrrkkkk
Do not run the application in the background.
PPPPrrrreeeesssseeeettttFFFFiiiilllleeee
Specifies the ssssyyyynnnntttthhhhpppprrrreeeesssseeeetttt(4) file to load at startup. If none is
specified, ssssyyyynnnntttthhhheeeeddddiiiittttoooorrrr will load the same preset file as mmmmiiiiddddiiiissssyyyynnnntttthhhh
has loaded on the given channel. If ----nnnnoooommmmiiiiddddiiii was specified, then a
default preset is loaded.

the identifying preset label; the file name is the path to the on-
disk preset file.
