This option allows to run multiple instances of aseqnet without having to double check the assigned port number, since each one can get spawned with a unique name.

* ASEQNET
|
|
|
|
aseqnet is a sequencer client which sends/receives events over
|
|
network. Suppose two hosts (hostA and hostB) connected by network.
|
|
You need to run ALSA system on both hosts. Then, start aseqnet as a
|
|
server on hostA:
|
|
|
|
hostA% aseqnet
|
|
sequencer opened: 128:0
|
|
|
|
A user client 128 with port 0 was opened. (The client number may
|
|
vary.) At next, start client on hostB. The argument is the hostname
|
|
where server is running.
|
|
|
|
hostB% aseqnet hostA
|
|
sequencer opened: 132:0
|
|
|
|
Now events sent to hostA:128:0 is transferred to hostB:132:0, and vice
|
|
versa.
|
|
|
|
You can connect these ports arbitrary to other sequencer ports.
|
|
For example, connect hostB:132:0 to a MIDI output device 65:0. The
|
|
aconnect utility can be used for this:
|
|
|
|
hostB% aconnect 132:0 65:0
|
|
|
|
Events to hostA:128:0 will be delivered indirectly to hostB:65:0.
|
|
You'll hear MIDI sounds as following:
|
|
|
|
hostA% pmidi -p 128:0 foo.mid
|
|
|
|
The multiple clients may exist simultaneously. If hostC is connected
|
|
as a client to hostA, events from from hostA are sent to all connected
|
|
network clients, hostB and hostC. However, only one connection is
|
|
allowed from a client to a server.
|
|
|
|
To disconnect network, stop all clients before server by ctrl-C or
|
|
sending signal to them. The server will automatically quit.
|
|
|
|
The available options are:
|
|
|
|
-p port : specify the TCP port number or TCP service name.
|
|
Default value is 40002.
|
|
-s addr : explicit read-subscription to the given address
|
|
(client:addr).
|
|
-d addr : explicit write-subscription to the given address.
|
|
-n name : specify the midi name of the process.
|
|
Default value is either 'Net Client' or 'Net Server'.
|
|
-v : verbose mode.
