midisend is a small application that will allow you to send MIDI events from the shell. It will register as client like all other applications. The most simple way to use it is to do
which will achieve about the same as adding a system MIDI port in artscontrol. (Not quite, because midisend only sends events). The difference is that it is easy for instance to start midisend on different computers (and like that, use network transparency).%
midisend
-f
/dev/midi00
It is also possible to make midisend send data from
stdin
, which you can use to pipe
data from non-aRts-aware applications to aRts, like this:
%
applicationwhichproducesmidieventsonstdout
| midisend-f
