As with many Linux applications DrumGizmo is available as a command line interface. This means that in addition to the gui versions of the software, you can also open up yout favorite terminal and have the full potential of the virtual drummer at your fingertips by using the 'drumgizmo' command.
This is useful if you wish to use DrumGizmo in a stand-alone fashion, for instance to render a midi file to wav files. Or if you wish to make a jack connection and use DrumGizmo as a drum sampler in conjunction with an electronic drumkit.
