NAME

       aseqsend - send arbitrary messages to selected ALSA MIDI seqencer port

SYNOPSIS

       aseqsend -p client:port -s file-name
       aseqsend -p client:port "hex encoded byte-string"

DESCRIPTION

       aseqsend  is  a  command-line utility which allows one to send SysEx (system exclusive) data to ALSA MIDI
       sequencer port.  It can also send any other MIDI commands.  Messages to be sent can be given in the  last
       argument  as  hex  encoded  byte  string or can be read from raw binary file.  When sending several SysEx
       messages at once there is a delay of 1ms after each message as default and can be set to different  value
       with option -i.

       A  client  can be specified by its number, its name, or a prefix of its name.  A port is specified by its
       number; for port 0 of a client, the ":0" part of the port specification can be omitted.

       aseqsend can send UMP packets as MIDI 2.0 device by specifying via -u option as well, while  the  default
       operation is the legacy MIDI 1.0 byte stream.

OPTIONS

       -h, --help
              Prints a list of options.

       -V, --version
              Prints the current version.

       -l, --list
              Prints a list of possible output ports.

       -v, --verbose
              Prints number of bytes actually sent

       -p, --port=client:port
              Target port by number or name

       -s, --file=filename
              Send raw binary data from given file name

       -i, --interval=msec
              Interval between SysEx messages in milliseconds

       -u, --ump=version
              Specify  the  MIDI version. 0 for the legacy MIDI 1.0 (default), 1 for UMP MIDI 1.0 protocol and 2
              for UMP MIDI 2.0 protocol.

              When UMP MIDI 1.0 or MIDI 2.0 protocol is specified, aseqsend reads the input as raw UMP  packets,
              4 each byte in big endian.

EXAMPLES

       aseqsend -p 128:0 "F0 41 10 00 00 64 12 18 00 21 06 59 41 59 4E F7"

       aseqsend -p 128:0 -s I7BulkDump.syx
