is a command-line utility which allows one to send SysEx (system exclusive) data to ALSA MIDI seqencer port. SysEx (system exclusive) data to ALSA MIDI sequencer port.
It can also send any other MIDI commands. It can also send any other MIDI commands.
Messages to be send can be given in the last argument as hex encoded byte string or can be read from raw binary file. Messages to be sent can be given in the last argument as hex encoded
