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	 en‐
       coded  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
