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 (sys-
       tem  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  ar-
       gument  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 af-
       ter each	message	as default and can be set to different value with  op-
       tion -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
