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  op-
     tion  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
