I have a hardware midi synth connected by a midi cable. I'm going to dig out the latest version and try compiling it.

To play midi files, a synthesizer is needed, like the audio/fluidsynth or audio/timidity ports; both can play midi files out of the box. I forgot to update the FAQ, I'll fix it next week unless someone beats me at this.
midiplay and FAQ ?
I'm on a recently upgraded OpenBSD 6.6 machine. I'm reading about midiplay here: https://www.openbsd.org/faq/faq13.html#midi There is no midiplay command on the machine, but there is on a 6.5 machine. In the man view for midiplay the last entry is at 6.4r: https://man.openbsd.org/OpenBSD-6.4/midiplay.1 Was midiplay removed, and midicat is the goto tool to play midi files? thanks!
