.SH SYNOPSIS
aseqsend \-p client:port -s file-name|"hex encoded byte-string"
\fBaseqsend\fP \-p client:port -s file-name

\fBaseqsend\fP \-p client:port "hex encoded byte-string"
.SH DESCRIPTION
.B aseqsend
is a command-line utility which allows one to send SysEx (system exclusive) data to ALSA MIDI seqencer port.
\fBaseqsend\fP 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 send 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 deafult and can be set to different value with option \-i.
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.
\fBaseqsend\fP 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.
