Re: Command-line render a MIDI file with a VST instrument?

I would check if synthclone can run headless. Synthclone is made for cloning hardware synths as well as vst, lv2 and whatever.

Is the VST plugin and preset the same for all MIDI files? in that case
you could load the plugin and preset in e.g. Ardour as Jeanette suggested.
Then a scripted combination of commandline tools Jack-smf-utils [1],
jack_capture [2], jack_freewheel [3] might work.

In theory this would be doable also in Pd (again with some minor
scripting glue and running it 'headless'). Problem is, I don't think
there's any external to load vst plugins in linux...
