Thanks. That works now. Can I suggest a more descriptive error message for
that case?

That look to be working correctly.

Just to confirm, the r option records midi data not audio data?

So, to record the audio output of linuxsampler I should be using an
external app like jack_record or ecasound...?

Separately,  It looks like midish can be used to script the
import/playback process. Can you give me a little more information on that
please?

My goal is to play and record a complete directory of .mid files via
linuxsampler using midish as the sequencer.

Finally does midish already have any filters for humanisation of the
output or should I be using other apps for that process?  I'm thinking of
something similar to the additional filters in hydrogen which adds small
timing inconsistencies to the playback to give the output a more natural
feeling. In Hydrogen they call it "swing".
