** playumidi Install Manual **

[Introduction]--------------------------------------------------------------

 "playumidi" is the "SIMPLE" MIDI file player for USB MIDI device on FreeBSD.
 This software is able to direct control for FreeBSD-umidi device(/dev/umidi*.*)
 in the "uaudio" driver.
 Therefore, You don't need to use the "/dev/sequencer" device or the other
 software when listening the MIDI-file music.
 And, Support for auto-judge MIDI-file XG/GS/GM mode & auto add the
 Tone-Generator ReSet code when the ReSet code isn't exist in a MIDI-file.

  Playing MIDI-file by playumidi as follows:
      "playumidi yourmidifile.mid"


[Usage]---------------------------------------------------------------------

 Please read README or "man playumidi" 


[CAUTION!!]-----------------------------------------------------------------

 playumidi directly opens, writes midi-event data, and closes
 the /dev/<usb-midi device>.
 So, it is necessary to grant the R/W privileges(666) to /dev/<usb-midi device>
 before use playumidi.
 But, the FreeBSD umidi-driver (integraed by uaudio driver) is not granted
 permission only of the root-user R/W and others user/group read-only
 (permission 644) at the default.

 Therefore, there is a need to grant permissions to R/W prior to use.
 I will show some examples below.

  * (Example 1) set permissions every use time
        Do the following command as the root user.
        (Of course, can use sudo command also.)
           "chmod -R 755 /dev/umidi*"

  * (Example 2) Set permanently R/W permission for usb-midi device. (FreeBSD 8/9 only)
        Do the following operation as the root user.
        (Of course, can use sudo command also.) 

      1. Append to /etc/devfs.rules the following two lines.
         (Making /etc/devfs.rules when there is not existing this file.)
            ------------------------------------------
            [devfsrules_common=7]
            add path 'umidi*' mode 0666 group wheel
            ------------------------------------------

      2.  Append to /etc/rc.conf the following three lines.
            ------------------------------------------
            devd_enable="YES"
            devfs_enable="YES"
            devfs_system_ruleset="devfsrules_common"
            ------------------------------------------

      3.  Reboot FreeBSD (shutdown -r now)
