9 vmpk [options...]
10
12 This manual page documents briefly the vmpk program.
13 This program uses standard Qt5 options.
15 Virtual MIDI Piano Keyboard is a MIDI events generator and receiver. It
17 doesn't produce any sound by itself, but can be used to drive a MIDI
18 synthesizer (either hardware or software, internal or external). You
19 can use the computer's keyboard to play MIDI notes, and also the mouse.
20 You can use the Virtual MIDI Piano Keyboard to display the played MIDI
21 notes from another instrument or MIDI file player.
